@paul5460 Please note Paul doesn't speak for Luton and 99.9% of our population. Don't feed the troll, feed the kids instead! And donate to our local Foodbank: https://t.co/sTfGpYhLKs

@Sjluton Because it's not not compulsory for businesses to have qr codes and people to check in, track and trace is dead in the water. There is no legit way of confirming who would have been pinged and not.
