Some guests were found hiding in cupboards when police raided student flats in Birmingham.

A student party that attracted people from up to 200 miles away has been broken up by police.

Some of the guests were found hiding in cupboards when officers raided the gathering in Lower Loveday Street, Birmingham, on Friday night.Party-goers had travelled to the event from places such as Newcastle, Nottingham and London. The flats are private accommodation but predominantly used by students from Aston University and University College Birmingham, West Midlands Police said.

Insp Steve Barnes added: "We understand that young people are frustrated at not being able to enjoy themselves and I do feel their pain, but we have to stick to the rules so that we can get back to some sort of normality sooner rather than later.Officers were also called to a party on Soho Road where shop owners had set up a sound system, and a 30th birthday party attended by about 20 people in Kingstanding.

Across 32 breaches of Covid-19 lockdown rules on Friday night, the force issued 58 fines of £200 and five of £1,000.

We can only hope natural selection deals with them, as they obviously don't have a brain cell between them. Save the vaccines and treatment for those who deserve it.

What would these selfish bastards have done during a blackout & rationing in WW2? Street parties with bonfires & light shows! Raided the shelves so they had bread/butter & fuck everyone else? They need community service on an ICU ward not fines. Arseholes, the lot of ‘em! 😡

Good on them

EndUKLockdown1 Good! Hope they had fun! You remember fun? It’s what kids are supposed to have!

ID TRAVEL 1000 MILES TO PARTY! I DONT GIVE A SHIT!

Good.

Selfish idiots

Make them all do community service

Idiot's. Throw them in jail

Well what do you expect, there aren’t that many places to party around the country

Young and partying. Now a terrible crime. Ridiculous appalling state of Britain and the British looking for scapegoats. Unnatural unhealthy half life detrimental to our health. 3 lockdowns yet people continue to 'believe' they are the Way like some religion.

Why is it other country's citizens follow the rules and help bring covid down and here they're like spoiled toddlers

Good for them EnoughIsEnough

I wouldn't fine these selfish people ,put them in prison for a full 12 months ,fines don't stop these idiots

Criminal convictions Community Service for all. Digging graves Monday to Friday not to mention body bags. Name these morons talk to employers to lose jobs. Ban from vaccine for 5 years.

Well, the BBC programs have been sympathising with this sort of thing for months 'people are confused/frustrated' is a regular headline - yet BBC blame the government - you'd think maybe Trump was our PM ?

Sounds great, good for them 👏👏👏

Big deal. Who cares? Hope they had a good time.

And these are the one's that want free education when they can even follow basic rules..

Any story to distract from Tory taking the piss and ignoring lockdown rules again...eh BBC?

Tough penalty required £1000 plu

At least they have a life!

Good! Enjoy what you can of life and living. Fuck anyone who wants everyone to stay at home forever.

There’s is nothing to see here.

Punish them properly and don't blur there faces name and shame them

Students acting as they should. Well done.

Magic

EndUKLockdown1 Defund the BBC.

What a f *cking joke the UK is.

EndUKLockdown1 Good for them let the healthy adults live their life

Imagine you jailed them for two weeks. Criminal record. See how far that gets them when trying to find a job in future. Their parents should give them a good kick up the backside.

They are young and healthy. They should not be locked in. It is up to vulnerable people to shield themselves. Just like they did every other year!

EndUKLockdown1 Hopefully start seeing more of this, tolerance levels seem to be dropping 👍🏼

And this is the reason why we will be in lockdown even longer. Selfish bastards. No F*****g brains.

EndUKLockdown1 And we don’t give a fuck. Find some news rather than propaganda please

EndUKLockdown1 Glad they had a good time.

Good on them , they deserve to have a night out.

Sick human

This is probably a lie

EndUKLockdown1 That's commitment 👍

EndUKLockdown1 BBC don’t think your shite attempt as causing hysteria is working judging by the replies and comments, people just want to enjoy life not merely exist

EndUKLockdown1 And?

Good for them!

Where is the volunteering scheme aimed at young adults to engage them in helping fight the pandemic? Give them an alternative to parties until all this is over.

Why are their faces Blacked out?

Lock them up today

This is a crime, all should get £5000 fine, otherwise they will do it again next week.

Sociopaths

I

Why? Just stop please

Let NHS have there names and date of birth, and refuse them treatments in relation to covid-19.

Wonder how many of these are on 'rent strike' 🤦‍♂️

Selfish fuckers. Line them all up n shoot them.

Not a white guy in sight

Good on them! Resistance to tyranny is the only way this draconian nonsense will end! Freedom TheGreatResist

It has to be harsher than a fine, these people are killing us and restricting our chance for freedom.

£10,000 fine and 25 to life in the clink. Rules are rules 😡

in blame the people propaganda .... Also isn't Boris brilliant .....

Fair play to them. A lot smaller than my party last night. But just enjoy what life we have left

Working well isn't it patelmustgo PatelTheBully PRITIPATEL?

If your weak , old or poorly stay indoors. If you are not the above. Go and live life b4 u die

The amount of 77TH BRIGADE in this thread is disgusting. You must be so proud of running psychological operations on your friends and neighbours

t1narome “DENY THEM NHS TREATMENT” cry the morbidly obese and smokers.

🦠s

It's almost like they don't care that they're making others sick and potentially killing some of those they infect. Selfish b*stards. If a burglar was that callous and wielded a weapon like these people wield covid, they'd have extra time added onto their sentence!

Don’t fine them. Make them work on a Covid ward for a month and see how long they last. Complete idiots and selfish

Ppl are still fighting for the straw men (LEFT & RIGHT) offered by the evil system that keeps them as wage slaves. The present problem is revealing the sham. If we do not help with that revelation the system will have its reset and people will be lease slaves the next 2k years

Good for them , not buying into the bullshit and propaganda anymore, wake the fuck up people

Why is for the most part Students that are the most irresponsible, no, not excluding wedding parties here, but those that have the most in wealth and education seem to be the ones incapable of following the rules

Good on them

Send all of them to Help on HospitalDuty, will Open Their Eyes to Reality NHS is Confronting.

I do hope they were all fined 800 quid

Idiots!!!

If covid gave just a bit of a rash and cough I can sort of see why these selfish arrogant kids are doing it.But it's killing innocent people possibly their families and they still go and do things like this.That's the bit I don't understand,they are potentially killing people

Wish I’d been invited.

Why aren’t we showing their faces, if it was an MP or someone famous you would, these people need to be named and shamed !!

Should name and shame

Fines wont stick. They will be skint. Waiting for pritti to tell us how many 10k fines have been paid in full. Out of 500 about 25 apparently as they plead poverty and pay £1 a week

What a surprise,lost all faith in the human race,selfish

Makes me happy

Are they taking the piss? Many people have cancelled parties including our daughter who turned 18ast year. It’s about time they were properly punished.
