11 scathing reactions to Lee Hurst’s anti-mask supermarket strop
Lee Hurst isn’t the first former celebrity to declare his distaste for mask wearing, nor is this his first declaration, but his boast about flouting coronavirus rules got a lot more attention than he’s used to these days.
Here’s what he claims to have done.
It didn’t help that his confession included an admission to being horrible to a security guard who was just doing their job.
Of course, we don’t know whether it really happened, but the takedowns certainly did.

Imagine finding the simple task of wearing a mask to help save lives so intolerable a burden that it makes you such a reckless, selfish pr*ck?
Then imagine BOASTING about it? Just pathetic. https://t.co/3y46lB2RmA— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 25, 2020

Lee Hurst and his ilk taking to twitter to announce they haven’t worn a mask like a child who has announced they have done a shit in the ‘big toilet’ is embarrassingly, desperate

Lee Hurst tweeting in 1940 –
“AIR RAID WARDEN: Please switch your lights off
ME: No (CONTINUES TO MAKE STREET A TARGET FOR THE LUFTWAFFE)
I am starting to lose my patience. You can only remain polite for so long under this nonsense”

Golden rule: you can always tell the calibre of person by how they treat retail and service workers.
If this even happened, then it's indicative of his personal conduct. https://t.co/lKrA9AwZqW

God, imagine the thrill of being 90s comedian Lee Hurst, defiantly stomping through Morrisons to pick up a Rustlers burger and 2 litres of Tizer, your once-famous face proudly unconstrained by the mask the so-called 'security guard' wants you to wear pic.twitter.com/klJ6Ml7t8V

You really owned that minimum wage person just doing their job https://t.co/R7cygqFOnl

Lee, get your ears tested. He was asking if you had a mask not whether you had a career. https://t.co/X94HigISjz

Lee Hurst was on a comedic-spin-on-sport panel show decades ago, despite being neither athletic nor funny. Now he does a shop at Morrison’s and tweets like he’s just singlehandedly saved the statue of an infamous slave trader.

As if those devastating burns weren’t enough, RussInCheshire, who curates the #WeekInTory round-up of Conservative cock-ups, had this brief engagement with Hurst, and you can see for yourselves which of them won the battle of wits, and which arrived unarmed.
