Oddly enough our right to peaceful protest is protected - our right to hold and illegal rave isn't (in normal circumstances you need permission - and more particularly so because the Government included it in the Covid Legislation. |

40 thousand in fines at just ONE rave - bet you the maths really isn't working out for them. |

"Mad how raves are making a comeback,?
Like people have said though.. double standards at play here though.
Raves are making a comeback because there are no clubs open."
If they had them in wales and wore masks sorry muzzles they could have a great tagline...raves for the sheeple.. |

We have never gone away
Social distancing has always been a thing at free parties, techno, d&b events....even the dreaded uk hardcore (cringe) events, people go to dance the night away, dancers create automatic space between each other but hey, many people as possible protesting with no space between them is better

Take away the controlled, reasonably safe avenues for people to enjoy themselves and you open the door for uncontrolled, less safe avenues to flourish.
The had a hard enough time clamping down on the 90's rave scene and that was well before social media, ubiquitous mobile phone usuage and instant, encrypted messaging became a thing. Yes, there will be a few fines but I guarantee that for every 1 rave broken up there will be 5 more the cops know nothing about.
You can't legislate human nature away, no matter how hard you try. Bigger fines just mean more precautions and higher prices....right or wrong the young will party. |

If they're anything like the 90's raves you'd be very, very surprised at just how well the maths actually works, even with the fines. 40k is really not that much....loss of the equipment is a much bigger problem. |

No, I can't, especially as all the evidence suggests they are at very little risk from the virus.
If we had any sense at all we'd be looking at on-demand instant testing (I beleive there is now a 12 minute test) - paid for by the recipient - and a rule requiring proof of a negative test in the last 48 hours for admission to a pub/club or event.
That is, to me at least, far more sensible than effectively drivimg parties underground where we can't see them and manage the risk. |

No but they enforce the law.
It's like when they arrest drug dealers and they generally believe they are making a difference. |

Missing the point.
When they arrest a drug dealer they make this big hoopla about misery..making a difference blah blah.
1st of all people will always want drugs.. and most people do it cos they enjoy it.
2nd. once they bang one up 3 more take his place.
They seem to genuinely believe that by arresting some top head people are going to stop taking drugs.
It was the same with raves. |

I doubt they genuinely believe that at all. I’m sure they see drug dealers come along all the time.
What they put out is PR for the public to believe because they have a media department to handle that.

Tend to agree, it's not going to stop for several reasons so think outside the box so to speak..
But, no way will this government go near something like it.. |

While you can't blame them, what about when they spread it to their families. Or those people in local lockdown stuck at home while others in the same lockdown are having raves slowing down freeing the area again. They must be proud having a rave and throwing things at the police. What a bunch of liabilities this country has. |

Totally agree. It’s a selfish attitude held by many, live for the moment and expect someone else to deal with and pick up the tab for the negative consequences. |

Also oddly enough the primary legislation to force people into isolation and or quarantine during emergency pandemics is after international travel.
So we now have a Coronavirus Bill that is secondary legislation that contradicts the primary legislation to which hasnt been repealed.
So this to me is Coronavirus aka slow removal of human rights without too much notice to tbe people |

That was illegal too and Comrade Corby got a 10k fine for arranging a public gathering of more than 30 people.

Yes, they're running the place.
We're not solving the problem by demonising young people. Believe it or not they aren't all totally irresponsible. You didn't see raves etc. at the start of all this because like all the rest of us they were being cautious of an unknown illness with an uncertain medical profile.
We're six months on. There's a large and growing body of evidence that they are at very little risk. There is no end in sight to the limitatjon and they are rightly feeling they are being forgotten. Result, they rebel. Nothing new and really not a surprise.
The 'bunch of liabilities' are in whitehall busily trying to legislate a virus out of existance instead of actually solving the problem.
There are solutions. They aren't legislative. |

Well one illegal rave has resulted in a load of people with carbon monoxide poisoning as they'd broken into an underground bunker to use as a venue.
Running generators down there to power the sound system was a really dumb idea.
