A UK police chief has stated that cops will break up Christmas
celebrations that defy government COVID-19 lockdown rules, a
decision he fears could spark civil unrest.
The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson
told the Telegraph newspaper on Tuesday that any flagrant breaking
of government enforced social distancing measures during Christmas
festivities would cause a response from police.
“If we think there’s large groups of people gathering where
they shouldn’t be, then police will have to intervene. If, again,
there’s flagrant breaking of the rules, then the police would
have to enforce,”�Jamieson said.
“It’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their
Christmas,†the police chief would add before explaining that his
duty is to follow the orders of the government.
However, we are there to enforce the rules that the Government
makes, and if the Government makes those rules then the Government
has to explain that to the public.
In September, the UK put in place “the
rule of six†that makes it illegal to gather in groups of
more than 6 people, with a few exemptions – celebrating Christmas
not being one of them.
The West Midlands is currently under
Tier Two lockdown measures which state that Brits must not meet
with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any
indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.
Jamieson believes that public “frustration†with the
decision to spoil Christmas celebrations could boil over into civil
unrest as UK lockdown measures have been weighing on the people for
months now.
“We’re sitting on a time bomb here,†he said. “We’re
getting very near the stage where you could see a considerable
explosion of frustration and energy.â€
Things are very on the edge in a lot of communities and it
wouldn’t take very much to spark off unrest, riots, damage.
Frustration with the decision was expressed immediately with
parallels being drawn to actions of Nazi Brownshirts and calls for
Brits to “rise upâ€:

Over the weekend, 18 people were arrested during an
anti-lockdown protest that gathered outside Buckingham Palace. The
BBC reports
that the arrests were made due for a variety of offenses, including
breaching coronavirus regulations, assaulting an emergency service
worker and for violent disorder.
Anti-lockdown unrest has also recently appeared in
Poland and
Italy.
