“Covid marshals to be introduced”

[Funkypolar]

To enforce social distancing.

No doubt they will find many volunteers on Mumsnet!

The job the above link points to states the working hours as 07:30-17:30. So people frequenting pubs and restaurants in the evenings need not worry???

Haven't RTWT but I hope they can issue on the spot fines for littering disposable masks and gloves.

Adds BLM or B&M to the list of reprobates, as they can be tricky to tell apart in the dark if you are not wearing your ready readers ( which can be purchased very reasonably from B&M and also Home Bargains which is more difficult to confuse with BLM )

@frumpety I somehow survived 4 years in Hull living on bloody Grafton Street. A minor miracle.

You can just imagine the kind of officious wee prick that will apply for this as a job can’t you

It’s a shame Covid Marshals even needs to be introduced- people are just either too stupid or selfish to socially distance and follow simple instructions

Character building stuff @liverbird10 , think how much you have 'grown' as a person from your experience

people are just either too stupid or selfish

I swear Mumsnet must be full of bots, all I've read for 6 months is "stupid and selfish" on repeat. People, at least buy a thesaurus and get some new words to throw around.

Yes, because everyone who disagrees with Covid Marshalls being instituted is a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist who doesn't believe Covid is dangerous hmm?

No - but there sure are a lot of tinfoil hat nutters on this thread (and it’s not even full moon).: you gotta love Mumsnet

Is "Dumb and self centred" an improvement ?

The most likely place for a vulnerable person has always been in hospital

What world do you live in? Very few vulnerable people are in a hospital!

Ha ha - that’s right - all 7 million vulnerable people in hospital! That would make the Black Death seem a walk in the park!

Oooh, remember when "make your own mask" guides appeared everywhere? How about "Fold Your Own Foil hat"! FYOF for short!

I swear Mumsnet must be full of bots, all I've read for 6 months is "stupid and selfish" on repeat. People, at least buy a thesaurus and get some new words to throw around.

I hereby give you thick as fuck and self-centred cunts (for starters).

self-centred cunt sounds like really well aligned physiology.

@Aridane
I was quicker but failed on the appropriate expletive front... must use more efffffs

@justasking111
The advert referred to building sites!

Almost sounds like an engineering term , there is no play at high speeds due to a self-centred cunt.

Ah so it is builders spelling that explains it all

NRTFT but I think the TK Maxx 'bouncers' should apply. They could keep their hi vis vests.

It sounds like the stuff of Dad's Army.

I'm very interested in this narrative emerging that new measures have only become necessary because old ones haven't been followed. I'm not aware of any evidence that this is the case, but it is certainly a useful narrative in a lot of ways. It supports a creeping spiral of restrictions. It reminds me a bit of Hong Kong clamp downs and probably other parallels - you protested, so we restricted your right to protest, which caused you to protest, which was then illegal and proves that you are criminal and so we are clearly justified to further restrict your rights (and on it goes)...and it's all to protect you from yourselves! Luckily I agree with pp that we are too incompetent and individualistic to actually effect much creeping authoritarianism here.

How many ppl will actually take the job if it doesn't earn them much more than the benefits they receive...........

@cyclingmad

That’ll be the next thing. Working as a Covid Marshall for benefits

Will they be paid As so many are loosing their jobs think might be only few jobs left ,

I think people who take this job will likely just be people who need a job, and I hope they won't be abused.
