I would now like to apologise unreservedly, and point out that not only are face-coverings sensible, they are also stylish, sexy and mandatory.

In this week’s episode, the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings in a Relevant Place) (England) Regulations 2020 were signed off by Matt Hancock, and the song was sung by the Wise Scarecrow. The Mishnah fragment was uncovered by Gabriel Kanter-Webber. This was an Gabrielquotes production.
