'Snitch on your neighbours '

[Namechanger20183110]

Lots of sound bites in today's MSM from the policing minister suggesting pretty clearly that if you see your neighbours in groups of more than 6, ring the police.

The government are not even trying to hide their blatant tactics anymore to create divisions and animosity so that we stop focusing on the fact that they are a complete fuck up. There is already so much negativity out there. When I venture out, I'm more intimidated by somebody saying something to me about me unknowingly breaching a rule than I am of covid itself!

Will you snitch on your neighbour? I certainly won't be.

[quote JustAnotherPoster00]Remember though the rule of 6 only apply to us plebs, so if you do want a large gathering, make sure you have a plastic grouse and everyone in the party has nerf guns and when the police turn up tell them its a grouse shoot

This!!

I mean, how was this even proposed?!
I can't believe their brass face

I have applied to become a covid marshall. They don't ask for any previous experience just need to have "a passion for curtain twitching". DD 2 yrs 8mnths loves spending time looking out of the window and as she can count to 20 I have recruited her as my assistant. She will let me know if she sees groups of people of more than 6 and get the phone for me to call the police (she loves running errands for me)-i call it being a responsible citizen and teaching my child to be a responsible citizen too. I need to be careful as well though coz if I snitch on the wrong person there is a chance we could get knifed or have shit thrown on our door step.

Do you need to provide your own hi viz vest?

Maybe all those who spent lockdown stitching scrubs can start stitching hi viz vests now?

@ WouldBeGood Sorry, I have no idea to be honest. I haven't really applied to be a covid marshall and don't intend to either. I hardly have time to visit the toilet these days let alone snitching on my neighbours (I wouldn't snitch if I had time anyway)..I wasn't being serious in my earlier post. Sorry for the confusion 🤦

Absolutely not, I like my neighbours on both sides & don't know why anyone would do that unless it was an obvious large party. I have a feeling people willing to snitch on their neighbours are not particularly liked by them anyway...

I was joking 😃

Wow ,very catty posts

Maybe the person needs work? Maybe they feel a sense of social responsibility like those who volunteered to shop for others etc? Maybe they are sick of people thinking the rules don’t apply to them?
Plenty of reasons. Other countries have them

We have them in South Australia.
They are literally already employed by the business, as in they just use staff, no one extra gains work and they just wear a red vest.
Its all show. In our local supermarket, it's like they draw straws to see who will wear the vest. Ive not once seen them do or say anything to people and social distancing was ignored months ago in our local shop.

@ WouldBeGood

I did think you were , but wasn't a 100% sure 😀

@5lilducks that shows how mad the world has become 😂

@Kaktus

I can also bet there won't be very many of these Marshalls in high density housing or areas with drug issues where more serious infringements are likely to be taking place

True. I can think of loads of people on my nice leafy middle class street who will be salivating at the chance to report their neighbours for having their grandparents round in the garden, meaning their are 7 people instead of 6.

And it'll be the easy targets the Marshals deal with, rather than a gang of teenage lads.

If even the police only go after the easy target then what chance some untrained busy body?

They can snitch on me all they want, if I want to have 7 people round for lunch in the garden I will and I will pay the fine.

I won't be - some people are loving it though

WouldBeGood it does indeed 😂

....but I've heard they will be given a high viz jacket which says " Because now more than ever" on the front , and "We must snitch on eachother" on the back.
