To enforce social distancing.

No doubt they will find many volunteers on Mumsnet!

Couldn’t agree more

ALongHardWinter · 10/09/2020 18:39

The phrase 'Give anyone a bit of power and you can guarantee that they will abuse it' springs to mind. Angry

Griselda1 · 10/09/2020 18:41

Presumably they'll be the equivalent of community safety wardens, a bit like we have at present to deal with anti social behaviour or noise nuisance.

larrygrylls · 10/09/2020 18:46

For those against these wardens, what do you suggest? Zero enforcement? We don’t have the police power to do it, so that is the alternative.

Saucery · 10/09/2020 18:57

So we aren't allowed to question if it is even good for society

What is there to question? This virus thrives when people get close enough for it to pass round. We need to stop getting close enough for it to do that whenever we possibly can.

It’s like Kevin Turvey had himself cloned ffs.

Devlesko · 10/09/2020 18:58

Yep, zero enforcement. There's absolutely no reason for this propaganda shit, nobodies dying.
You sound right gullible Grin

larrygrylls · 10/09/2020 19:08

Devlesko,

I am clearly ‘right gullible’ for not believing that Covid is an illuminati conspiracy to somehow increase their hold of the world.

Silly me!!

OpenlyGayExOlympicFencer · 10/09/2020 19:15

If everyone did what they were supposed to be doing this wouldn't be necessary would it?

Neither you nor anyone else on this thread is in a position to know the answer to this question.

HeresMe · 10/09/2020 19:19

What is there to question?

And there you go again we can't question it then can we, the goverment have fucked up majorly multiple times but we can't question what they say or rules they impose, even when nonsensical.

Saucery · 10/09/2020 19:23

Question the government all you like. You just sound a bit thick when you question the science of Covid 19 transmission. Close contact spreads it. We need to limit close contact.

HeresMe · 10/09/2020 19:30

You think that we all should just do as we are told, but then say we are allowed to question what we are told which is it.

So you say I am thick, but I am one questioning things I don't agree with, I question non sensical rules, contridictions, I question ill trained covid marshalls provided by servo g4s ect.

There is science around covid transmission but any one who says 'the science' is the thick one as there is no such thing.

Redjoy · 10/09/2020 19:41

They have no powers at all. The police were not even told in advance. The Local Authorities have to find them and fund them. Another Boris spaff

Turns out the covid marshals wont be given the power to enforce to turning over a piece of paper never mind the law on covid restrictions...
Nanalisa60 · 10/09/2020 20:08

One word comes to my mind when I here things like Covid Marshall’s the STAZIE!!

justasking111 · 10/09/2020 20:15

They have introduced them in Leeds, the police knew nothing about it.

hoopmatrix · 10/09/2020 20:22

It’s all nonsense. Nothing to do with any virus. Control control control!! Police state, marshal law. Mask don’t even work anyway!! So much research about this now. Masks will also make you ill after a while- breathing in all your own CO2 all day long!
When people say NO this shit will end!!
Truth, justice, freedom and peace. Expose the lies. Xxx

It's a disgrace. It is undermining basic freedoms.

hoopmatrix · 10/09/2020 20:30

The more we say yes and do what the government tell us to do the more freedoms and human rights we will lose. X

Nope its a dead cat.

@GetOffYourHighHorse

'Should have called them something other than marshals. That's the problem that I see.'

Yes, as seen here it has wound people up.

Community Covid Help Team or something similar would have been better for The Outraged who think the nazis are coming.

I mean, we need something, some are just so constantly confused. 'Does the 6 include my ndn if she's hanging the washing out?' etc.

How about the Covid Unified National Team? Grin

MadameBlobby,

How about the Covid Unified National Team? grin

I see what you did there, and so funny.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 10/09/2020 20:48

'It's a disgrace. It is undermining basic freedoms.'

I don't understand why people say this. Mn is usually full of people wanging on that the government should be doing more. This minor restriction is working in Belgium. What's wrong with not meeting in groups of more than 6 for a while. Why on earth do people think it's the slippery slope to facism?! It is reducing transmission, that is all. Calm down flappers.

MadameBlobby · 10/09/2020 20:50

MadameBlobby,

I know, I’m hilarious. Almost as funny as Mary Whitehouse’s Clean Up National Television. It’s just as well theatres are mothballed, I’d be selling them out every night for months.
Inkpaperstars · 10/09/2020 21:02

Those who are concerned that it is undermining basic freedoms...you could consult a lawyer about challenging the legality of the policy.
