UK Prime Minister (and buffoon) Boris Johnson has triggered huge backlash after refusing to wear a mask while touring a hospital.
Many people were angry at the Prime Minister for not following NHS rules and putting patients at risk during his visit while the staff that accompanied him at Hexham General Hospital followed protocols and wore masks. There were also accusations that he was even told to wear a mask three times. Johnson's official spokesperson said at the time that he had followed all rules-- total rubbish to anyone with half a brain.
The latest controversy emerged less than a week after Johnson faced a backlash for not wearing a face mask while sitting next to 95-year-old David Attenborough at the Cop26 climate summit.
As COVID cases in the British parliament are on the rise, Johnson has also refused to commit to wearing a mask in the Commons. Even his own Health Minister, Sajid Javid, said afterwards that public figures should “set an example”.
Johnson has stirred up controversy by not wearing a face covering in various crowded settings in recent months, including in the Commons and in small rooms with his ministers. He has repeatedly refused to make masks mandatory as well.
