    No-mask shaming poster on local bus

    in YOUR STORIES

    Having missed my usual bus today, I ended up catching one from a local company, Stanton's of Stoke.

    When I sat down I noticed two small posters, one on each side of the bus. They featured a cartoon-like depiction of Freddy Mercury, along with a piece of verse which was obviously meant to be imagined to the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You":-

    "No mask on your face

    You're a big disgrace

    Spreading your germs all over the place"

    The bus was small and quite full, with only me and another lady not wearing a mask. I spent the whole journey feeling incredibly self-conscious but later I felt very angry.

    Even if someone agreed with the use of masks, they may have a legitimate health reason for not wearing one, yet these school-yard bully style posters didn't seem to take even that kind of scenario into account.

    I will be contacting the company tomorrow to make an official complaint and will boycott them from now on.
