    Good news

    If you can be directed to leave an area under section 8 of public order act

    You can/should be able to tell people remove face coverings too

  2. I expect this to be challenged and quashed because it doesn’t sound like it’s distinguishing enough between deliberate identity concealment coverings, and face coverings for medical/public health purposes.
