0:00.0 | Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham, on Talk Radio. |
0:15.0 | Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio. Are you ready for the latest news and the newest |
0:21.1 | advice? Because if you're not, you're going to get it anyway. From Friday to 24th of July, it seems it will be now compulsory to wear a mask when you are in a shop. |
0:29.2 | And if you don't wear one, you will be subject to a 100 pound fine. That is, of course, unless you work in a shop, |
0:35.7 | because then you won't have to wear a mask. If you're confused, |
0:40.0 | so am I and we will try to figure out what on earth is going on over the course of the next three |
0:44.3 | hours. I assume this is the same compulsory law by the way that means you will be fine for breaking |
0:48.4 | all sorts of other laws brought in under the banner of COVID-19 lockdown. The same compulsory law |

1:23.8 | Who on earth is going to police it? |
1:25.4 | Who on earth is going to hand out the fines? |
1:26.9 | And why? If it is all about our safety from coronavirus, then we have to wait until a week on Friday for it to kick in. |
1:33.3 | Because the Crown Prosecution Service, don't forget, is the same organisation that said to the police, |
1:37.3 | we don't know what law, if any, anyone who you have given a fine to over COVID-19 law breaking has broken. They don't know what law |
