A major problem in the UK is that people will automatically do the opposite to what is requested because they feel they have the right.
I've said before and it is still true - here in Portugal everyone is wearing a mask in shops, nearly all properly, and there is no military on the street. From what I've seen shop assistants and other shoppers aren't fearful of getting a mouthful or a revenge attack if they callout someone isn't wearing a mask properly.
We just have too many know-it-all folk in the UK who will do what they want without any respect for others or for the law.
Policing ought not be "by consent". The laws are there for a reason and should be enforced.
