This should be fun -- SovCits meet the criminal justice system of England and Wales

The beauty salon in Bootle, Merseyside, whose owners have denied the existence of coronavirus, said it would open as usual on Thursday and fight any fine through the courts. A message on the Instagram page of Skin Kerr said: “We will not be locking down again. We will remain open. We will fight this and any fines in a common law court.”

The owner of the salon previously described the pandemic as a “bullshit voodoo virus” and displayed posters saying: “You can’t catch what doesn’t exist,” as well as banning masks and “Covid talk”.

The salon did not respond to a request to comment. It posted a clip on Instagram on Sunday of the conspiracy theorist David Icke calling Covid-19 “a scam” and urging businesses to “simply refuse to lock down”.

Fauci is "career civil service", who are mostly protected from arbitrary dismissal. Trump would need to show cause, and then there is a process for determining if it is sufficient reason for firing him. It does happen. For example IRS workers stealing checks. But not often.

'A Huge Attack': Critics Decry Trump Order That Makes Firing Federal Workers Easier
NPR said:
The executive order, issued last week, would affect the professional employees in policymaking positions at the very top of the civil service — people like lawyers and scientists who are are not political appointees and serve from administration to administration regardless of which party controls the White House.

The president's order changes that, creating a new category for them — "Schedule F" — and taking away their civil service protections. In a statement that accompanied the order, the White House took aim at those protections, saying they make it too difficult for agency heads to remove "poor performers." Without the protections, the employees can be more easily replaced.

Also among those arrested was Piers Corbyn, who has emerged as a figurehead of the anti-lockdown movement and has been arrested at least four times at protests this year. A statement on his Facebook group said he was being held at Lewisham police station.

He's also a noted conspiracy theorist and antisemite. What a pair he and his brother make.
