Policing minister Kit Malthouse has said that people should snitch on their neighbours if they think they are breaking the new coronavirus rules. He said he also hopes to roll out “COVID-secure marshalls” across the country to help enforce public “compliance”.
From Monday, it is illegal for Britons to gather in groups of more than six in public or private, indoors or outside. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week when he announced the measures that people breaking the law would be told to disperse, fined, or even arrested.

Except in mosques.
13 Sept: Daily Mail: PETER HITCHENS: How the Government is wading into the swamp of despotism – one muzzle at a time
The Government has no legal right to impose the severe and miserable restrictions on our lives with which it has wrecked the economy, brought needless grief to the bereaved and the lonely and destroyed our personal liberty.
This is the verdict of one of the most distinguished lawyers in the country, the retired Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption.
He said last week in a podcast interview: ‘I don’t myself believe that the Act confers on the Government the powers that it has purported to exercise.’...
As he is one of the most distinguished legal minds of our time, Jonathan Sumption’s opinions on this matter are surely important...
Lord Sumption’s intervention is, of course, so huge and important that the media of this country have somehow not noticed it...
Schoolboy Johnson’s lies keep getting bigger
The official Covid death and hospitalisation figures, declining ever since April 8, are now bumping along the bottom of the graph, close to zero.
Hence the false epidemic of so-called Covid ‘cases’, which the Government is trying to pretend exists. How simple-minded do you need to be not to see the great flaw in this?
On Monday, the media reported new coronavirus cases in the UK had risen to 2,988 on Sunday, the highest daily total since May. Panic! Or perhaps not.
I searched the Government’s own spreadsheets and what did I find? More than 1.1 million tests each week but fewer than 10,000 positive results. Judging by the state of the hospitals and the death rates, I think we may assume most were just fine, as most who catch this disease are.
So, for this, we propose to stop people gathering in groups of more than six? I sense even those who have, up till now, put up with this rubbish are beginning to tire of it...

Six? That is outrageous.
And you know the elite aren’t following that.
How very Soviet of them.
meanwhile, in Australia, who know who or what to believe?
the death was a HUGE story...this update not so much. note The Age immediately ***protects Comrade Dan Andrews:
10 Sept: The Age, Australia: ‘Youngest COVID-19 victim’ may have died of another cause
By Richard Baker
The man in his 20s who was called Australia’s youngest COVID-19 victim was suspected by senior health officials to have died from another cause, possibly a drug overdose, at the time (Victorian) Premier Daniel Andrews publicly linked his death to the coronavirus.
***There is no suggestion Mr Andrews was aware of the possible involvement of drugs or another cause of death before his August 14 daily briefing, but The Age has been told by people familiar with the case that officials in the Health Department had discussed the circumstances of the man’s death as being indicative of an overdose...
The young man was infected with coronavirus when he died, but the State Coroner, John Cain jnr, has in recent days decided to classify the case as a “reportable death” requiring a coronial investigation...
The announcement by Mr Andrews on August 14 that a man in his 20s was among the latest 14 COVID-19 victims shocked many and ***sparked national headlines. The other 13 deaths announced by the Premier that day were people aged in their 80s and 90s...
A Victorian government spokeswoman said all deaths in Victoria with a positive coronavirus diagnosis were included in the state’s toll, regardless of whether it was the overarching cause of death. She said this reporting was consistent in all states and territories to ensure the figures were comparable throughout the country...
Australia’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Nick Coatsworth, this week addressed the assertion that COVID-19 death tallies were being distorted by people having other, existing medical conditions.
“There’s been a lot of discussion about how we’ve classified COVID-related deaths,” he said. “I remember as a junior doctor trying to do death certificates – it’s not always an easy thing.”
Dr Coatsworth gave the example of someone who had influenza dying of a heart attack and then trying to decide which one to record as the cause of death.
“I don’t, by any stretch of the imagination, think it’s a reason to underplay the severe impact that COVID has on people who have [existing] conditions.”...

12 Sept: Sydney Morning Herald: Aged care deaths fall during pandemic with influenza at record lows
By Dana McCauley
Almost 1000 fewer elderly Australians died in aged care homes during the first seven months of 2020 than the same period last year in a trend attributed to record low influenza rates, but experts warn this does not minimise the deadly threat of COVID-19...
The total number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Australia was ***797 on Friday afternoon, 588 of them in residential aged care and seven in home care...
A Victorian health department spokesman said the state recorded zero influenza deaths in aged care this year by September 5 compared to 121 deaths over the same period in 2019 and two in 2018.

***816 deaths at end of Monday 14 Sept 2020.
How very Soviet Union of them.
The Brits have a long history of police state jackbooted thuggery, dating back to Elizabethan times.
“How very Soviet of them.”
I was thinking, How very Iranian regime of them. Of course it applies to N. Korea, China, Cuba … Nice company for the Brits be in.
Or to throw bricks and Molotov Cocktails at cop cars.
Cuba is the gold standard today, every block has it’s designated tattle-tale.
NYS and NYC pols have been doing this for months.
And, sadly, a lot of my fellow citizens are happily complying.
Report neighbors for talking too close or mocking transgender politics, but we can’t be bothered with Muslim rape gangs. In fact, they’ll arrest you for criticizing them via a Facebook post.
MI5 and the rest of the security apparatus learned well.
Today,maybe.But I’ll bet that North Korea and Red China are fun places to be as well.I’ve been to Red China...several times.There were many times that I was made *plainly* aware that I was being watched.
It would appear the Brits have forgotten WWII and the Brown Shirts they fought against!

Later in that same article..
“He pointed out that powers do exist – in the shape of the formidable Civil Contingencies Act – under which the Prime Minister could do all the things he has done. But the CCA requires regular parliamentary scrutiny...”
Johnson doesn’t want that scrutiny.
