How utterly selfish and entitled these people are. Indeed so. (That would be the Torah, then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem being, post covid you can be hypoxic on exertion without any symptoms, even shortness of breath. STH were giving out pulse oximeters to post covid patients last year!

Mister M Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It's interesting that the school say they 'leased' the hall out. Surely they have some responsibility to find out what it is being leased out for??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reported there was a large police presence, so how come only 5 were fined? They didn't all run home when they saw the police - most presumably came by car. All they'd got to do is get all the car plates close by scanned (they can do this easily), then have a number of police waiting as they rush to their cars. As they got in, tell them to expect their £200 fines. Even if they only got 100 of them that way, 100 x £200 = £20,000. That would surely pay for the operation and something left over. Instead, taxpayers get to pay for the event! In addition, if many of them were not local, what were they doing out of their area in a lockdown without sufficient allowed reason? Another potential fine missed! As it is, this goes to publicise that there is only a 5/400 chance of getting fined for attending an illegal event such as this. Wrong signal! Opportunity missed! Apparently the Yesodey Hatorah School in Hackney is also used as a Coronavirus testing site.

We know that the school leased out the hall. They have a responsibility on Health and Safety grounds to know what it is being used for and by how many. Especially as the school hall is used as a local Coronavirus testing site!!! If the organisers lied to the school, then in my opinion that's not the schools fault. But as I'm not lawyer I don't know where the school stand legally. Edited January 22, 2021 by Mister M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience people who can afford a wedding for 600, rarely have the reception in a school hall. Nor would a school be unaware of it if it was. What about all the preparations? Something fishy going on. Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, sometimes they'd be presented with a list of dos and don'ts but in many cases you're given a key and told to return it the next day. If any staff from the venue were there - which you'd expect at a venue from that size - that should have been shut down before the guests turned up.

Covid: Wedding party in Stamford Hill broken up by police - BBC News its all a big distraction. We aren't getting 30k a day infections from house parties, we're getting them from people with symptoms dropping kids of at school and going to work when they're really not essential.
