Organisers padlocked the door from the inside to prevent officers getting in, police said
Police have issued more than £15,000 in fines after 300 people attended an illegal rave in a railway arch.Many people fled the scene, while organisers padlocked the doors from the inside to stop officers getting in, police said.A dog unit and helicopter were deployed to the scene, with police saying they made numerous attempts to contact the organisers.
Ch Supt Roy Smith said: "This was a serious and blatant breach of the public health regulations and the law. "Officers were forced, yet again, to put their own health at risk to deal with a large group of incredibly selfish people who were tightly packed together in a confined space - providing an ideal opportunity for this deadly virus to spread.There is an England-wide lockdown in place which prevents any social mixing between households.such as shopping, going to work, seeking medical assistance or avoiding domestic abuse.
We all want to do things but those attending these raves in a pandemic is unbelievable will we ever get back to normal
So obviously the government's fault.......
Take away their furlough
If it was a zombie apocalyptic virus, would they have stayed at home? Probably not because they have the right to party. Put a fence round therm and let them party their brains out for 6-8 weeks, cos they will be infecting each other. Then let out the ones who test negative.
What’s going on in Hackney? First the wedding now this! And the hospitals are overrun!! Does the Mayor need to get a grip or what?!?!
Obviously, some people more dumb than Trump supporters.
All feckin knobs!
It's this ignorance is why we're in a mess. They must be very proud of themselves keeping us in lockdown and adding to the death toll plaza
300 selfish assholes. The UK has the highest death rate in the world. Jesus this is depressing. And still they don't care. We are properly fuc*ed.
reminds me of the video for Faithless's We Come One, viewable on youtube, quite prophetic,
If this was up north Johnson would call a press conference fines handed out
Increase fines for everyone there
The last few headlines have been about London 🤷🏻♀️

Stick them all in a barn for a month while they are in quarantine! Let them have the music playing 24/7. They are like minded idiots(people) aren’t they. See if the feel oppressed then!
Bollocks to these selfish idiots. Oppression my arse. Privileged spoilt twats putting everyone at risk! Think of the oppressed medics, front line staff and elderly in homes. Grow up!
Disgusting, where was my fucking invite!?
ilatif that's why London will be the worst hit in entire Europe if not the world. How sad 😔
The organisers should get 4 weeks jail time. Fines dont work clearly. Need to get much tougher on these idiots.
The police should of blocked both ends and quarantined them for 2 weeks
Kids may be fearless, many of us were probably no different, but when things go wrong for them they accept zero consequences and expect sympathy, that's not how risk and reward works
Yet the public continue to blame the goverment take some self responsibility
People are priceless.
Well you can't blame the ravers can you. Just look at their disgusting parliament representative HackneyAbbott
Why were they only fined £200?
Who’s the mp for hackney
And this is why I can't go to work full time, you idiots
Lock them up, lock them all up.
Fines don't seem to deter ppl. Time to start locking a few ppl up in 'quarantine'.
Wait a minute. '..fines of up to £200 for breaching lockdown restrictions were issued.' Ermmm wasn't it supposed to be £800 fine for party's over 15 people? Can this government be more useless? ToryCovidCatastrophe
And probably not from Hackney these stupid people are putting my lovely sister and sister in law’s lives at risk
They should just sign wavers refusing Covid treatment
300 people? That’s not a rave. That’s a dinner party.
Let’s hope they’re all fined that £800, as well as the organisers being fined.
Wankers
Must be racist ol' whitey's fault all these blacks are dying...
Longer BorisJohnson and his merry men continue to try and restrict our lives with no end the more and more this will happen!
Hackney, Labour🙄
It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity.
Fer play to them fuck covid 19 and all the crap with it. People are fed up and people will always do what they like.
Looks like people in London will never learn 😡😷
Why didn’t they just say they were protesting?
Great to see people having fun 👏🏻
300 people at a rave and only 78 get a fine? Why?
Large wedding, large party, railway rave. All in London. Selfish and arrogant Londoners, who knew?!?!
Lock them up!
I wonder why it spreads...?🤔
and again its the shit H*** cities that are the biggest problem ,we should have been isolated a long time ago
And two fines? What happened to £800 each?
Awful people. It’s so tiring dealing with idiots like this - so being drugged up , dancing like they’ve been demonically possessed is exercise? Fine all of them and donate it to NHS
Fine them all.
Deport the Covid Spreading Terrorists 😷😷
Inept Government... operation “Blame the public” in full swing the 400 at a wedding party was 200 hundred! Put a tag on law breakers
they were all probably drug users, rather like boris johnson & michael gove.
Words fail😭
Where’s HackneyAbbott? No comment on this from the MP?
What are the local MPs saying about this?
idiots, fine every one of them
They were fined £200 each?! Is that it!! pritipatel are you actually going to get serious about this or what!!? No wonder stupid people do this and the rest of us just look on dismayed when you are just so soft on measures!!
And, to think some people support this, shame on them, the police and NHS has enough to do without these idiots
Despicable. An emergency 30 days in gaol is what is needed.
Should have locked them in for a couple of days let catch it together no wonder it's bad in London
I really dont blame the youngsters, if it was the 80s and 90s it would be going off everywhere, this young generation have been VERY well behaved
Jail the fucking lot of them!!!!
Use one of the empty Nightingale hospitals as a makeshift prison and throw them all into it. Fines are not a deterrent - tougher measures must now be actioned.
But that Scottish scientist woman says we’ve got to stop moaning about the rule breakers, it’s promoting mistrust. Yeah right.
Reviewed down to 45. Fined the railway operator 10k for allowing use of archway. All officers injured in a stampede. 👍
Good on them!! Fuck this jail cell
O no ppl had a party no the covid moaners are out get back to watching the news and filling ya death toll wall charts in
WTF is wrong with these utter fucktards? Make them work for a day on a Covid ward & then see if they think they’re big & clever instead of thick & selfish.
rachelclarep so this is what you did with your Saturday night
And people blame the government constantly yet we wonder why we have the highest rates it because of ALL the selfish idiots like this lot across the country. Keep going you're doing a great job prolonging the situation.
PRITIPATEL patelmustgo nobody's listening!
Another idiot gathering cant we just round them up and put them somewhere until this is over
Oh send the Army out on them, I'm done with being understanding because their young, I would like to leave the house at some point in my life. 🙄
What the bet most of this people at the rave are teenagers and I can't blame them for wanting to have a bit of fun our only young for a short time. You have to ask yourself what would you have done if your a teen living though this
There is a variant of the virus that impacts the young much more severely than middle age and older people. It has been classified as Covid-FS, which I believe stands for “Fuckin’ Stupid”.
Lets get into this. They no they are wrong max fines for all please
This is what happens with an oppressed society, it’ll just get worse the longer this lockdown goes on. The more you tell someone they can’t do something they’ll strive to do the opposite. It’s life, we live in country where folk like to socialise, mix, drink and have fun.
Fine them and when they catch covid say fuck off
Good to see young people out enjoying themselves as it should be
They’ll be the ones paying for the next 20yrs
As with the Jewish collective, might have metpoliceuk counted double drugs
Dr on the radio said 2 jumbo jets worth of pple are dying a day & some pple don't seem to care. The world even more selfish now. These people can't patiently wait for life to get back to normal, they must have their 5 mins of fun. At the cost of prolonging it & killing more pple
£100k fine for organiser and £1000 each raver
