Heavenly responses to Brexiter Steve Baker’s claim that mask mandate is hell

"From the ar*ehole that brought you 'SunlitUplands' and other such sh*t," said one person who has simply had enough of this nonsense.

Do you like wearing a mask? Well, if it keeps people alive then yes, is the response of most people.

And now it’s winter it keeps the old lower face area a bit warmer, so double bubble!

Anyway, there are also a lot of people who believe that wearing a mask is a sign of an authoritarian country trying to control you.

It isn’t just civilians who think this. Some of our elected representatives think the same.

So-called Brexit hardman Steve Baker was amongst 19 Tory who voted against new mask regulations.

“This is a fundamental choice between heading towards heaven and heading towards hell”, he told the House.

“If we continue to react to these fears and uncertainties by taking the authoritarian course… then we are embarked on that downward course.”

It comes as Boris Johnson insisted he had already put in place a package of “balanced and proportionate measures” in response to the threat posed by the new variant as cases of Omicron reached 22 in the UK.

The mandatory wearing of face coverings in shops and on public transport came into force in England on Tuesday, along with tighter testing requirements for international travel and the return of self-isolation for contacts of confirmed Omicron cases, even if they have been fully vaccinated.

Reactions

There were a lot of people who thought this religious fervour was simply too much, from a bunch of MPs who have already said some ridiculous things about mask-wearing and the pandemic.

Here are some of the most heavenly responses…

Just put a mask on, you massive fanny.

According to this highly religious man, concern for others equates with the path to Hell.

…and irresponsibility equates with the blissful liberations of Heaven, obviously. https://t.co/CesAsf5vMv

Don’t want to get all popey, but the difference between heaven and hell is not whether you’re required to wear a mask in Waitrose https://t.co/emUho1nVtL

MPs approve new coronavirus regulations by 434 to 23. Focus on that, remember that the nutjobs, the antivaxxers, the mask fearers, the right wingers that want to harm us are the very small minority.

If Steve Baker wants to know what hell looks like he should do a shift in an acute ICU ward during a Covid surge. https://t.co/3qGto7J6Lq

Redemption, salvation, hope – three concepts synonymous with the Tory party that will be abandoned if Steve has to wear a mask in High Wycombe Asda. https://t.co/DYqD70h3Ih

"I stare into the night and it is darkness; as if the moon & stars recoil in horror from the abyssal nightmare of our suffering, drawing closed a shutter of blackest clouds and trapping us in an ebon void where no dreams can glimmer."

I just don’t get this agitation over masks. 145k dead – fine. Sewage in water – fine. Corruption with PPE contracts – fine. Lying PM – fine. Remove protest – fine. Part Time MP’s – fine. 1/2

— AJP (@UniversalEvent) November 30, 2021

Wear a mask – put a cloth 7” x 3.5” across my nose & mouth to potentially save a life – I feel oppressed. Good job they weren’t around in 1939 – they’d never have shut a curtain 2/2

Steve Baker is a practicing Christian, so should believe that our future is in Heaven, but if we don't wear masks, it will come sooner than expected for some people…

Honest to god, have you ever seen a bigger bunch of adult BABIES than anti-mask, anti-vaxxers??? https://t.co/0K3ZbJo9Ya
