How much can I be fined for not wearing a mask?

In England, police and Transport for London officers can fine people who aren't wearing a mask on public transport, in a transport hub or in a shop Ł200 for their first offence. This drops to Ł100 if paid within 14 days.

The penalty doubles for each subsequent offence, with no discount for quick payment. So a second penalty would be Ł400, a third Ł800, up to a maximum of Ł6,400.

In Wales, the penalty for a first offence is Ł60, with the fine doubling for each subsequent offence - up to a maximum of Ł1,920. Repeat offenders can also be prosecuted in court where there is no limit to the fine that may be issued.

In Scotland, Ł30 fines are issued to people who don't wear face coverings in public buildings, rising to almost Ł1,000 for repeat offenders.

Netherlands: https://nltimes.nl/2021/12/03/mps-ma...ock-obligation

The lower house of Dutch parliament rejected a motion excluding possible mandatory vaccinations. Yet, a majority is still against it, according to a survey by ANP. Several parties voted against it because there is currently no question of mandatory vaccination, they said. Others, including VVD and D66, want to leave the door open.

Pepijn van Houwelingen of Forum voor Democratie submitted the motion during the coronavirus debate on Wednesday. The text refers to a statement by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, who called it "understandable and appropriate" to talk within the European Union about "a joint approach" to vaccinations. Many political parties supported the motion, but it did not get a majority.

In May, parliament voted on a motion by the Van Haga group that ruled out "a direct or indirect vaccination obligation." That motion did receive sufficient support, partly because the CDA, PvdA, GroenLinks, and Den Haan factions were in favor at the time. These parties now voted against it.

CDA and GroenLinks said that they have not changed their opinion and are still against a vaccination obligation. The Labor Party also voted against the FvD motion because there are currently no plans for mandatory vaccination. Still, the party said, "in this crisis, in which the damage to public health and the economy is so enormous, it does not want to rue out a measure in advance."

VVD, D66, and Volt voted against both motions. The last party said it currently sees nothing in a vaccination obligation. The coronavirus measures must "always be proportional, and a vaccination obligation is not easily that." But the party finds it "unwise" to rule out such a measure in advance. D66 MP Jan Paternotte also said that he does not see anything in an obligation at the moment, although he does not want to "rule anything out in a crisis." He did not support Van Houwelingen's motion because he considers it a "nonsense motion" as long as there is no question of any obligation.

The VVD would rather not introduce an obligation, said MP Aukje de Vries. "We see that there are no more easy measures. So we must always continue to look at measures with an open mind, even if they are difficult."

For the time being, Liane den Haan is the only one who thinks that "given the current pressure on healthcare, we have reached the point that we should discuss mandatory vaccination.

It's interesting how we continue to go backwards re this pandemic, this varient is risky yet the government especially Boris is telling people to carry on with their Christmas parties .

Public transport has gone back to making mask wearing compulsory, yet we can still mingle in groups with or without masks. Yet when you leave the party to jump in a taxi then on goes the mask again? .

What's funny is I never stopped wearing a mask , except for when I'm in my own space or outside.

there is a good reason for it being transport and shops, that is where you get the biggest crossover, discrete groups intermingling. Other situations, you tend to be with the same people day in day out. I would say there was a good argument for masks in pubs, but that gets messy with people eating/drinking and not able to wear a mask

Just as an aside, i drove down a quiet residential street yesterday, and everyone outside was wearing a mask. Completely OTT, so i think you will find that people generally will be wearing a mask more often, whether it is mandatory or not
