    University students should be as brave as these pupils and stand up against any attempt to mandate masks. @UsforThemUK @Togetherdec @officestudents @UniversitiesUK @DerbyUnion @AF4SA

    On a train to London. 70% without masks - lots of chatter and laughter - nearly the old normal! 👏👏👏👏

    As @jowilliams293 says, forcing children to wear masks all day is performative - just to appease a few adults and the teacher unions. It is wrong, cruel and useless (see below) Shame on @nadhimzahawi #NoMasksInClass @UsforThemUK

    This is what newly Knighted Professor Viner (former @RCPCHPresident) has said about masks: "For teenagers...we don't have the evidence that this is useful" #NoMasksInClass @nadhimzahawi @educationgovuk @sajidjavid

    Can we add all teachers and lecturers who are in favour of putting face nappies on pupils and students to this challenge?

    I would gladly have signed this letter in The Times today. It is devastating for @ucu because of their failure to defend @Docstockk - @AFAF_freespeech @speechchampions @SpeechUnion @Fox_Claire

    All the discussions seem to say - remove restrictions but keep masks. It’s all about compliance, not health. #nomasks #NoMaskMandates #NoMasksInClass @UsforThemUK @Togetherdec @JuliaHB1 @EssexPR @AllisonPearson @Tom_Slater_ @LozzaFox

    The UK unions were silent after the Islamist beheading of Samuel Paty last October (apart from a short post by the NEU). Unlike unions across Europe

    In what other circumstances would a teacher's life be threatened by intolerant zealots and the teaching unions remain silent? x.com/theipaper/stat…
