Met Issue 30 More Downing Street & Whitehall Lockdown Fines

Police have issued at least 30 fines for breaches of lockdown regulation at Downing Street and Whitehall, this comes after 20 fines were handed out just last month.

10 Downing Street

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak will be fined over Downing Street lockdown parties.The fines have been said to relate to specific breaches, rather than individuals, which means that one person could receive more than one fine.The Met have said that as of today it has made over 50 referrals to the ACRO criminal records office - which is responsible for issuing the fixed penalty notices - for breaches of COVID-19 regulations.The Met would go on to comment that: "We are making every effort to progress this investigation at speed.

This includes continuing to assess significant amounts of investigative material from which further referrals may be made to ACRO."The police are investigating at least 12 events that may have breached Covid lockdown rules in government buildings, including at least three attended by the Prime minister.As part of their inquiry, the Met have sent out over 100 questionnaires to ask people about their participation in these events. They issued the first 20 fines on the 29th March.Matt Fowler, co-founder of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice campaign group said: "It's plain as day that there was a culture of boozing and rule breaching at the highest level of government, whilst the British public was making unimaginable sacrifices to protect their loved ones and communities." The Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has commented that: "the police have now completely shredded Johnson's claims that no laws were broken."He cannot be trusted and cannot continue as prime minister."No other leader in any other organisation would be allowed to continue after law-breaking on this scale."

If Boris Johnson won't resign, Conservative MPs must show him the door. Sir Keir Starmer has commented about the PM, saying that: "He told the country, he told parliament, all the rules were compiled with in Downing Street where he lives and where he works, and now it's obvious that there was widespread criminality."So I'm afraid it calls into even further question the honesty and integrity of the prime minister who stood up and said nothing was going on."It's obvious that that was wrong, and it reflect badly on the prime minister."
