Angry Howard Donald slams hairdresser who refused to cut son’s hair without mask

Furious Howard Donald has slammed a hairdresser who refused to cut his son’s hair because the boy wasn’t wearing a mask.

The Take That singer, 52, had taken four-year-old Dougie Bear to get a trim before the start of the new school year, but dad and son were both turned away under the coronavirus rules.

Taking to Twitter, Howard made it clear how angry he was at the hairdressing salon for taking the decision not to cut Dougie’s hair.

“I’m fuming. Just taken my 4 year old to get his haircut and they refused unless he was wearing a mask!!!

“It’s 11 and above according to the rules. Yes covid is real especially when it comes to old and the vulnerable.

“But to make little kids wear masks is pure bulls**t just like the world which is turning into scare mongering bullshit regime! Please don’t let the governments turn this into a ‘new normal’ otherwise your kids kids will be asking u why didn’t you allow this crap and where did our freedoms go?” he continued.

“The hairdresser in question obviously took the scare mongering to a whole new level which unfortunately is where society is going unless we stand for our freedoms back.”

One follower accused him of having anti-vaxxer-esque views, telling him: “It keeps breaking out of you, doesn’t it, the idea that freedom is in danger. That Bill Gates wants to force us all to get vaccinated so he can take over the world. That’s so stupid. There’re so many things in Britain that threaten your freedom, Brexit etc. Why not fume at that?”

And Howard raged back: “You think it’s stupid that they are trying to get everyone feared for there lives so people actually beg for a vaccine? That’s the way it’s going. Freedom is maskless and to breath true oxygen and go where u want to go without people looking at u like u are a disease.”

When another follower pulled him up, Howard told him if Boris Johnson takes the decision to make mask-wearing compulsory in schools, he would be pulling his kids out and home-schooling them.

A third follower told him: “With 2/3 lung capacity and a damaged nervous system affecting my breathing, your blasé attitude towards the virus, which genuinely has the potential to kill me or change my life forever, scares me more than the government and media. Please think about the reality of this virus.”

To which Howard replied: “Of course! ive already mentioned it’s understandable for the old and vulnerable to wear them to stay safe. It’s about the bigger picture and the control governments are having on the masses. Massive lockdowns where people aren’t even allowed out affecting mental health.”

He ended his rant by adding: “I’m allowed my opinion,if u don’t like it tough. This isn’t just a platform for my career it’s also about life and I care for people’s life especially my family. But life as we used to know it is disappearing and people are letting it happen.”

It’s not the first time Howard has raised eyebrows with his views about the Covid-19 pandemic.

Back in June the singer railed against face masks and claimed those hoping to avoid contracting the deadly virus should “immune boosting herbal tablets and vitamin rich food”.

He also accused Bill Gates of wanting to “make a couple more billion” and claimed “vaccines are questionable”.
