Boris’ Christmas police are going to call. Fuck me, who needs Oliver Cromwell?
Police have warned they could break up Christmas dinners if families breach lockdown rules.
West Midlands crime commissioner David Jamieson has vowed his officers will investigate large Christmas gatherings.
He said if there are big groups of people gathering where they shouldn’t be then officers will be forced to intervene.
“We are there to enforce the rules that the Government makes,” he said.
If you told me a year ago that we would have a Tory government imposing this kind of draconian measure, I’d have not believed you. A year is an aeon in politics.
As for the only following orders defence, I’m not sure that is valid. When the law is plainly wrong, disobeying it becomes a duty and those who enforce it are the enemies of liberty.
“It’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas.”
Well, don’t, then.
Have they arbitrarily declared that they can enter your home without a warrant then? Because if they came knocking on my door that is the first thing that I would ask.
“It’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas.”
It’s not the police’s job to enforce rules that the government have imposed without any kind of due process.
Just tell them you are celebrating Ramadan, that seems to work.
I wonder if there’s anything in the rushed-through Covid legislation that permits this?
The Police in this case are so stupid that they have not even thought far enough ahead to all the senior police resignations that are going to be required the day after the Daily Mail runs pictures of riot police dragging children out of their grandparent’s homes because there are too many of them playing inside.
Time to get the popcorn in I think…
The police have not thought through the possibility that the sort of scenes that you envision, will cause an even further erosion of trust and respect for the police from the general public. I foresee that this is going to end very badly indeed, for the police.
Britons have put up with an enormous amount of trouble brought to the nation by the way that the govt has mismanaged the Covid situation. They’ve also had to put up with being held on virtual house arrest whilst the ‘favoured ones’ of the state such as BLM/Marxists, Extinction Rebellion, Shia Muslims and others have been allowed to strut around the streets unmolested by the same police who have no moral qualms about using batons against middle aged women campaigning against Lockdowns.
The police are now not seen as friends, as many law abiding Britons used to see them, but instead by the same law abiding Britons, as capricious oppressors who will crap on them but pander to those whom the state favours. I really cannot seeing any of this ending well.
“further erosion of trust and respect for the police from the general public
You mean there are any rational people who still have trust and respect for these Common Purpose SA?
Notice how they always mention rules nowadays, not laws.
The soviets didn’t go as far.
Do they have a over six people detector? .Or is it Stasis type informers ?The police are going to make up there minds,with consent of the people or boot on the neck.
Let me think this through … Christmas day sherry, beer and wine consumed in copious quantities, carve the turkey with a BIG carving knife, add in the usual family tensions, kids screaming and plod knocks on the door …
Nope. Can’t think how this will end up, can you boys and girls?
On Christmas Day, you could phone 3 x 9’s to report more than 6 people, not all from the same household, together in one building. If that building happens to be a Police station, Police call centre, Fire station, ambulance station, or hospital, what does it matter? You’re simply following “the snitching rules”. Now that I’ve put the idea in someone’s head, who would be sufficiently mischievous to do it?
Nice one, Penseivat. A mosque or a “travellers'” camp would also be entertaining – if they dared to turn up, of course. You ex-plods must weep into your beer at how today’s Common Purpose indoctrinated police farce has been allowed to develop from the real police of yesterday. (West Midlands Serious Crimes Squad, excepted, of course!)
Perhaps the public could be persuaded to make call after call to the Police on Christmas Day alleging that Chief Constable David Jamieson is holding a massive family event at his home
All this angst for this.
