Greater Manchester police say they have had to deal with over 500 parties in parks and streets since the lockdown. There have been bouncy castles, DJs and fireworks.

Is there a section of society that are deliberately trying to cause the NHS more work for political reasons? It didn't say how the police dealt with them.

Found it:

Greater Manchester Police has warned people not to breach lockdown rules over Easter after it had to break up 660 parties last weekend.

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said "each and every one of us need take this seriously".

There were 1,132 coronavirus-related breaches reported between Saturday and Tuesday, the force said.

That included 494 house parties - some with DJs, fireworks and bouncy castles - and 166 street parties.

One woman in Bury became the first person in Greater Manchester to be charged under the Coronavirus Act 2020 after police had to repeatedly shut down one of the parties.

The force also had to deal with 122 different groups gathering to play sports, 173 more gatherings in parks and 112 incidents of anti-social behaviour and public disorder.

Greater Manchester's mayor Andy Burnham said such behaviour was "completely unacceptable".

"They are putting everybody at risk," he said

Worrying occurrences of police being spat at.

Dangerous & disgusting. Let us express our utter detestation of such awful events.

Personally, I don't care if they pass it on to each other - call it a form of Darwinism -
demise of the thickest!
Unfortunately, they'll not only expect the NHS to deal with them, but they'll pass it on to others, and stretch the NHS even more.

Here are some previous Darwin Awards - people who died through their own stupidity:

They amended the number of parties in houses and streets to 660 with over a hundred in parks.

trouble is if they each gave it to one person imagine how that can multiply. Except for one woman who was told more than once about her party, the police don't say how they dealt with people.

As the NEC and Excel have been converted into hospitals there must be other buildings which could be made secure to just lock these selfish morons up - together - for a long time. Telling them they will not be entitled to NHS treatment should make them sweat - oh and no loo paper ( :-D )

As one of my children said, 'They should be at the back of the queue for treatment and as they seem to be peeing their cash up the wall, back of the queue for government handouts.'

I don't know ................ for some reason, the British people have long been known for their (fora want of a better term ) "bl***y mindlessness".

It was that ability to do what was not considered feasible and to ignore warnings that helped you all to get through WW2, when you were almost alone in defying Hitler.

Go back through history all the way to the Druids and beyond, and you'll find many examples of the people ignoring rules and yet coming out the other end.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, that Bl***y mindlessness is NOT what is needed.

Em, Sylvia...… you do realise that not 'all' of us weren't even thought of at the time of WW2 :-0

It's totally abhorrent what these idiots are doing I think it's to do with drug related incidents might be wrong!! it's happening up & down the Country do they think they won't get ill Plonkers the lot of them shameful behavior when so many are dying & really poorly .wee all trying to do our best reading things like this just makes me sick Barbara

I am very much aware that there are very few people on here who were born before or even during WW2 .................

But your parents or grandparents, or god forbid you're young enough that it was your great grandparents, did live through that war.

Nor were any of us alive when the Druids were being bl***y minded against the Romans!

The people who flout the rules in such crazy ways should be under house arrest no 2nd chances! They definitely shouldn't be given benefits. Horrible people.

It's the way you tell 'um Sylvia :-D

It seems rules don't apply to those who make them.
:-| :-| :-| :-| :-|
Little wonder the flouters think they can do as they please.

The death of self-respect.

Do they understand that their granny could die as a result of their party?
