How strange! There are no Covid measures to “enforce”

Well, they are envisaging them being able to issue Fixed Penalty Notices, which means they envisage bringing restrictions back and criminalizing us again.

Hardly think the eminent council of Bishop Stortford has some insight to the government’s intentions ahead of anyone else.

Dunno, think there will be a fair share of retribution that goes with that job. Most people will hate them. Jumped up little shits with no training telling you what to do? Reminds me of the brownshirts.

What’s in it for you?

  • Weekly pay (in CBDC units)
  • A great selection of benefits incl. discounts for shopping, cinema, holidays, etc. not that these will exist for very much longer.
  • A friendly and supportive team of like-minded fascists.
  • Training, career development & progression opportunities
  • Overtime opportunities, curfew dependent.
  • A sense of importance, authority and purpose that has evaded you in life so far.
  • Universal contempt from anyone with any degree of awareness whatsoever.
  • Two hundred social credit points.

Indeed it’s an opportunity for the brain-dead. However, it’s one thing sticking a ticket on a car while the driver’s in the shop. It’s a different thing altogether sticking a ticket on somebody for not having a pass that entitles them to buy food. Some very hard times and lots of broken noses on the way for Covid Marshalls.

I might fill in the application. In the ‘relevant experience’ section I will put:

I have always wanted to be an authoritarian despot enforcing apartheid but unfortunately I was to young to make it over to SA before that darned peaceful transition of government. I am good with a baton and would also be keen to learn the operation of a taser and sidearm if required. I have been eagerly watching the videos of the cops in Australia getting stuck into the anti-vaxxers and can’t wait to get started – I can even supply my own Bovver Boots as well.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

That said, it might be worth applying and mentioning that I have a medical exemption from mask wearing (which is true). That will be a fitting test of their diversity and inclusivity polices.

It may be ‘Covid safe’ but we don’t want to be perpetuating Covid, which is what the measures they will be enforcing will achieve.

Ops Sunrise? Freudian slip?

Operation Sunrise, or the Bern incident, refers to a series of World War II

Nazi Germany and the United States to arrange a local surrender of

Love the “About you” in the job advert. My translation in brackets)…

About you:

Excellent communication & customer service skills. (Preferably German speaking and able to serve food/gas treatment to our ‘customers’)
Professional in approach, with a balanced sense of judgement, and a keen eye for detail. (Authoritarian. Able to quickly spot concentration camp number tattoos)
Previous experience in a similar role is desirable, but not essential. (Any position in a fascist movement preferable, but SS lineage will do)
A valid SIA License or have applied for one
A full five-year checkable employment history. (Preferably as executioner… or Richard Madeley impersonator)
A full UK Driving License. (Forklift desirable – moving bodies)

Taking a trip to Bishop’s Stortford is lower on my Bucket List than similar to Saffron Walden, the only points of interest being the etymology of their place-names.
London based civil and civic servants retire there to die.
Any locals still remaining after the age of 18 have seriously retarded ambition quotients since anybody with any ‘get up and go’ has long since got up and gone.

This would therefore be an ideal location for a local born youth to fly his wings and fulfill his cherished aspirations by becoming his proud towns very own 😷 COVID MARSHAL.😷

There is some very nice countryside around Bishop’s Stortford. It’s a part of the country mostly undiscovered by tourists. Northern Essex and northern Hertfordshire. Lovely villages with ancient houses. Here’s Wendens Ambo:

I used to live a few miles away in Hertfordshire and I’m sure Wendens Ambo is perfectly lovely but it isn’t Gods Waiting Room as are Bishops Stortfod or Saffron Walden.
Too much development to be still rural, not enough to be interesting.

The Nu variant is out, BBC just flashed we are requiring quarantine for arrivals from Southern Africa, and all h£ll is about to break lose again. So of droids they are hiring Marshalls.

The beat goes on. And since the vaccine is likely ineffective against Nu, guess how useful the boosters are? This is why you work on treatments (which are coming on line), not vaccines. Tamiflu has saved more lives that the ad hoc flu vaccines (which I dutifully for this year because…why not).

Marshalls? Covid is the gift that keeps giving new jobs. Too bad it killed so many old ones.

Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
