If the police give out large fines you wont need to get every one of them, it will create a deterent that's not there now.
Boris has Covid 19

£50 for every person atttending + £100 for the host.. All money to go towards the Key Worker funds. Double it for repeat offenders
So if on the average every party has 5 people.. then thats 300 quid. So with 660 parties, the GMP would have collected nearly 200k on the day.
To make the logistics simpler.. issue beat Bobbies with contactless readers. Given that Contactless limit is now £45.
All participants £45. All hosts £45 x3... So the total is about 315. Still works.. simples

Firstly its not the Police that set the fines.
Secondly you need the courts to grow a big pair of baws and actually enforce said fines.

Yes I know that and my post wasnt criticising Police, IMO the fines need to be big, in some Europiean countries they give out very big fines. I would also suggest community service orders.

Boris out of intensive care.
Good news. Hopefully he'll continue to get back to full health and back to running the country as soon as possible
Fantastic news. The country needs a leader at a time like this and, whatever anyone thinks of his politics, Boris has the personality to lead.

I'm very happy for him and his partner.
Hopefully the Rail Union member Steve Hedley who reportedly wished the PM would die get's his just rewards.

Good news, indeed, for Boris's family... And, here's hoping for many, many, more positive outcomes...

Skip the community service imo. Community service, generally, requires interaaction with 'the community', something that is 'on hold' in the current environment - and the numnuts that are breaching the 'lockdown' are likely to do far more damage to the community than to learn anything from it! Certainly large fines though!

Hmmm... given the objection to articulating unpleasantness, surely that should read "hopefully he sees the error of his ways and becomes a better person"....

Really, I hope you did not follow his earlier advice on herd immunity.

We are not a country that a culture of on the spot fines sits well... I once asked, at a council meeting, how many fines for dog fouling had been applied... The response was not unsurprising... That not once ever had a fine been issued ever!

Maybe if they increased the fine to £500, people might start to take notice

Not to mention he's encouraging of building workers to continue travelling into London even though they were non-essential.
It's crucial he puts his ego to one side & works on a more collaborative approach. It won't suit him, but will be far better for our Nation as a whole. Time will tell.
I’m not talking about his advice, which itself stems from scientific advice, but his ability as a leader and figurehead. Rather Boris than Dominic Raab, any day of the week. The latter looks terrified.

You will still get idiots out and about and as I said earlier until the courts grow a pair it won't be properly enforced.

And do you not think the employer had a duty of care and common sense to their staff and workers?
Easy to sling mud to detract from your own selfish greed.

#1 responsibility of any employer is safety/wellbeing of its employees... The construction industry bosses totally failed and when TfL bosses/Sadiq did what it thought appropriate, for its employees, they came in for a whole lot of criticism...
