What do you think of the idea? They said that they will be introduced to enforce the rules towards the social distancing. I think that it kind of is good, as some cant follow the rules, we are all in this together, would it be voluntarily?

think it's a great idea, but tbh I don't envy them, some people will probably be very aggressive against them, I can see some horrible fights and incidents occurring

Marshals,... like community wardens who already exist. Neither them nor the police have proactively enforced the policies over the previous months. If they had we would not be in the position we are now and heading for another lockdown, my opinion. H

I'm very much reminded of being stuck in class as a teenager. Group detention. "I need absolute silence for ten solid minutes then you can have lunch".

Five minutes go by and someone whispers to someone else

For fucks sake will you shut up Joe, I'm hungry and have been deathly silent all along.

We're all in virus detention if we all don't play along.

I can see them being as popular as traffic wardens. If people are wise they'll just see the Marshall as negative reinforcements and it'll prompt the to comply with the rule of 6, hands, face, space.

I guess the government will soon require us to have a barcode tattooed on our forehead containing our identity number so that, rather like parking fines, the marshalls can just walk around taking pictures of groups and then send us the fine in the post.

Didnt they do a similar thing a few years ago when if you did something wrong the police escort you to a cashpoint to pay a fine.

"So the people who don't agree with this idea , why? Are they not going to be helping the police to keep businesses sticking to the Covid requirements or are they for something else?"

How will a marshal know which groups to monitor? Not all are required to socially distance.

What constitutes social distancing as this varies dependent on government whims?

What training will be given to become a marshal?

Is there not the chance an overzealous or poorly trained one could end up wasting police time and resources?

----

Also, there is the argument that encouraging citizens to snoop and inform on their fellow citizens is something more suited to a totalitarian regime (like Stalin's Russia) than a modern, liberal, progressive, first world democracy.

They would probably observe to see if they came in together?

It hasn't changed for a while, 1metre with mitigation

Not a clue.

Probably

So if you saw a crime being committed you wouldn't report it?

Maybe people should take responsibility for themselves instead of being reliant on the govt to hold their hand?

Unless this is a way to massage the unemployment numbers via job creation?

Get it down to a level of infection where we can live our lives relatively risk free until we have effective treatments and vaccines.

Apparently at a certain level we can treat it like the threat of tuberculosis (in the UK), which we don't worry all that much about.

No, we aren't, regardless of how much you want us to be. We still have significant restrictions and the cases are climbing again. That is not the same as where we were with tuberculosis pre Covid.

It's probably just another headline grabbing attempt, as putting these people at higher risk of infection as well as abuse doesn't sound too great an idea.

Policing by consent is the ideal. We have to build the bridges, healing divisions, then to get a move united country. Starting from the top, where much of the work is needed to be done.

if we all told the dicks in morrisons to back off then we wouldn't need assigned wardons.

Told the amazon guy to take 4 steps back this morning. Not difficult.

What should happen is if a rave is going on, authorities should drop bombs of dye/spray dye on them, indelible dye that lasts weeks. Anyone outdoors with dye on themselves are refused entry to certain places and likely to be fined by pasing police

hmmm seems a lot of you have forgotten we live in a democratic society where we have freedom of speech and the right to travel and that their was already a law in place to protect public health for such a pandemic that we are witnessing now.

So that law hasnt been repealed, we still ive in a democratic society and we still have rights that have been taken away by a new Covid legislation that has contradicts the original public health act.

Now we have the gistapo sorry i meant the police who practice laws from their police cars or shopping retail centres, and not to mention the Government who seem to think to think they can tell me what to do in my own home, sorry your public jurisdiction finishes at my front gate and if i want a party at my place ill hold a party at my place.

Now back to these marshalls, ill use the common law assault procedure against those individuals in marshals uniform should they lay one finger upon me

The BEST Covid Marshall of all is 'YOU'!

. . . . In Fact the ONLY Covid Marshall is YOU!

1. You have Total powers of Intervention to get yourself to help stop the virus spreading.

2. You can stop pretending to be 'confused' because it 'suits you politically or it's inconvenient to the lifestyle you want.

3. You can stop pretending that masks do fookall and just wear the fooking thing.

Hey. You might even get a Blue Peter Badge.

We need less people out in busy areas to facilitate social distancing so it makes perfect sense to send in more people named 'marshalls'

I do think it is right for the people to question changes like this (peacefully and safely) but I learned enough about 'marshalls' in my history lessons, radio Marshalls are the first that come to mind.

The whole management and public response, isn't anything to be proud of I feel

"Watching news now and it appears they will have no powers to fine or arrest.

All they will be able to do is advise on covid rules...another pointless announcement by our bullshitting government "

Just more local people put into a hivis top and at greater risk of catching the infection, from groups of people who probably don't care much.

Of course, the local councils haven't been given any money to pay for these wardens, so it's probably not going to happen to much extent. Though the magic money tree that's found £100 billion for 5 million tests a day in a few weeks time, will of course have plenty more in it.

Perhaps they should waste, I mean spend, £ millions on a warden app instead, that could remotely observe us at every moment, before sending us on a 300 miles round trip to get a test done, to arrive and be told that it's closed, like the 1 in Telford did to the a Welsh driver.

I think they should give the role to traffic wardens who are already there anyway, give them a bonus for issuing tickets and we're all happy

covid marshals or brainwashed marshals, perhaps they go hand in hand to stamp down on the minority.

Mnay say look at home many died in nursing homes

nursing home deaths, many have covid as a secondary factor and not the cause of death itself

how many cancer treatments are now on back burner, cancer patients not being treated or procedures delayed

Heart disease, diabetes, cancelation of elective surgeries to compulsory cancellation and postponement of all non-emergent procedures.

Examples of elective procedures include coronary artery bypasses, pacemaker insertions, spinal fusions, cancer resections, tumor biopsies, organ donations, gallbladder and kidney stone removals, orthopedic repairs, joint replacements, blood work, diagnostic imaging, ECGs & EKGs, cardiac catheterizations, nerve-block injections, colonoscopies, mammograms, and bone marrow transplants.

Delay of these elective procedures is no small matter, either for the patients who need them or for the healthcare facilities who provide them.

even transportation is grossly cut down, I an a volunteer and drive many patients to and from hospital in modified vans donated by Arnold Clark, many Renal patients cannot make their appointments due to lack of transportation,

ambulance crews can only take one passenger now, rather than 4 or 5, and we have to make up the difference on this.

There will be far more deaths due to the slow down of NHS rather than from Covid-19 itself

and yes I also drive "suspect" covid patients for testing

the Scottish government is on its way to bankrupting both business owners and employee's

some will say, ohhh better to be skint than dead from covid-19

really!!! get a grip, yes some will die from covid, same as many die from the flu and other illness and virus

what about elective surgeries being postponed or canceled due to the virus

elective” surgeries could include replacement of a faulty heart valve, removal of a serious cancerous tumor, or a pediatric hernia repair. Often, if these types of procedures are delayed or canceled, the person’s condition gets rapidly worse and can even be life-threatening. This is particularly true with children who are all in an active phase of their life growth and development. The resulting decline in their health could make them more vulnerable to COVID-19.

“A blanket directive to cancel elective and non-urgent procedures usurps the proper role of the physicians caring for patients and their families, collaborating closely with the hospital, to determine what is in the patient’s best interests.

sorry for the whinge but needed to get it off my chest.

The final financial fallout will be way way worse for future generations than the death toll. Lockdown is a total disaster for everybody. The people these marshalls will likely harrang are the ones taking risks and exposing themselves and their immune systems, so will likely if they are fit develop immunity better, quicker etc than those in isolated lockdown. The whole point of lockdown was to protect the NHS... Hospitals are by and large empty, loads of health professionals are doing fuck all.. people really need to toughen up Inc the bloody SNP and get folk back to work. People who have had fulough pay for not working need to have it taxed as unearned income (personal allowance doesn't apply) this is only fair to all those that have had to work through this. Country cannot afford not to.

The threat of a criminal record and a fine with the knowledge of enforcement would be enough to put off the vast majority and the rest will be criminals at any costs.

That's probably why we don't all just walk into a supermarket and fill out pockets with stuff for free and why the vast majority of us obey traffic regulations

Obviously some people will think they are exempt like those arseholes that complain they got done for speeding and were only 2mph OVER the LIMIT

Me neither.

You want your lives back? So do I. So do I.

Throwing the vulnerable under the bus and denying the crisis won't solve the issue. It'll just prolong the issue and lead to more suffering.

We're all in this together and we all have to do our bit.

And none of us bloody like it. But we have to.

The erosion of personal liberties is stunning and the speed of the changes to. The rules are so contradictory its stunning. Its getting more like north Korea every day or the former east Germany with stasi, jobsworths patrolling the streets now, its getting surreal, from the ministry of truth, Orwells night mare has arrived. Welcome to 1984.

Covid marshalls do not have any powers but they can hand out face masks and handgel.

They have no authority to force anyone to do anything but they can ask you to follow the pavement marking and follow the rules.

In other words they are just scapegoats to make people think the government is taking a tough stance.

"I hope they are ready for all the abuse they will get

Why should they get abuse?

As the whole idea is ridiculous and people won’t listen or take them seriously. They will be on a par with traffic wardens! Hated! "

You mean you and your friends won't take them serious.

So you think it is acceptable to give them abuse, when they are just doing a job?

It will be too late in 12 months time, the laws have already been rushed through curtailing any future freedoms when the government sees fit.

"What do you think of the idea? They said that they will be introduced to enforce the rules towards the social distancing. I think that it kind of is good, as some cant follow the rules, we are all in this together, would it be voluntarily? "

Personally I think they will not be respected. It’s kind of like police support officers which are perhaps considered a fake police person by some and have little or no powers ( no offence meant to pco s btw). Personally I think (unarmed) army would be better deployed in hot spots. Better trained and equipped plus more respected. We haven’t really used our services as well as we could have through this whole thing in my view even for logistics and supply. We need to get much tougher with the hot spots and hi viz jackets and clipboards won’t cut it!

Fair points.

There have been protests and gatherings, but they have (technically) been unlawful. Especially since the introduction of 10k fines and also from Monday.

Regarding the face coverings, the science is still not in agreement. So people can wear them if they believe that they offer group protection, but the demand by law to wear a certain item of clothing does intrude upon the rights of this free land in the same way that banning the burqa would.

As for the socialising, this is seriously compromised from Monday (with no scientific basis)).

Indeed theft, ape and murder violate the rights of others...

Driving at 150mph doesn’t violate anyone else’s right, at least not any more than conducting reckless behaviour which spreads Covid

"So, how are they going to enforce rules? Will they have any actual powers or just expected to ask nicely?

No special powers to enforce and £30k pay a year apparently. "

Doubt it.

Councils are being told they need to implement this and mention of financial support to do it is noticeably missing.

Most councils are already £Ms out of pocket after the government renaged on their 'just do what it takes, we'll pay for it' instructions from 6 months ago.

Hiring people at £30k a pop with no income from fines to offset the costs isn't practical when they're already stretched to breaking point.

Councils and Police authorities are already asking why introduce these wardens as they will have little or no powers in the first place.

But councils are already strapped financially, so for many, where's the money coming from to pay for these wardens?
