£30 FUCKING FINE!

Police can issue people who gather in crowds a fine of £30. FFS!

Even £1000 would not stop these idiots.

I believe it starts at £30 but can go up to an unlimited amount

Can they not be sprayed with some indelible green ink so everyone else could see they were idiots and avoid?

SquirmOfEels · 24/03/2020 19:20

There's provision for the level of the fine to be increased until it does act as a deterrent.

And after Thursday, when the Act comes in, repeat offenders could be prosecuted

Here's an idea...

treaclepumpkin · 24/03/2020 19:20

Ps, I know this is a hoaxGrin

treaclepumpkin · 24/03/2020 19:21

Meant to post this!

£30 FUCKING FINE!
helgahelga · 24/03/2020 19:26

£30 is OK.

For a first 'offence.'

Then it's recorded, and if you are caught AGAIN, it's £75.

Then third strike, and it's £500.

Whether the fine goes up or not they still have the chance to infect someone. I bloody give up!!

It probably shouldn't be a fine at all since those with more money than sense can treat it as the cost of permission to do what they like.

We should invent something suitable like the indelible green ink idea or since they wanted to be there so badly handcuff them to the nearest lamp post and come back for them the next day. :)

Tiddlytubbies · 24/03/2020 19:41

Shave their eyebrows off and tattoo 'I am a twat' across their forehead. Should sort the problem out!

Bottletopsx · 24/03/2020 19:45

Love some of the punishments here! GrinGrinGrin
Good job I am not in charge as I might carry out some of the suggestions.

Loving the indelible ink idea😂

Parker231 · 24/03/2020 19:59

I’d make those breaching the regulations clean the hospital wards where the virus patients have been!

Happygirl79 · 24/03/2020 20:03

@Parker231
That's a really inspirational idea. Might make them think twice... Err hang on they haven't got a brain

Happygirl79 · 24/03/2020 20:06

£30 is far too little for a fine.
It seems to diminish the terrible crime they are potentially committing.. The suffering and potential death of others

TheLinerunner · 24/03/2020 20:09

Obviously the worst punishment is house arrest

Nothing2doooooo · 24/03/2020 20:14

I know this is supposed to be serious but I'm in stitches! These punishment ideas are top notch!

MinnieMountain · 24/03/2020 20:15

It's €500 in Spain for being in a car with another person. Maybe they should start at £500 here.

elshajd · 24/03/2020 20:18

Bring back the stocks....oh wait!

Bottletopsx · 24/03/2020 20:21

Tar and feather. Not a good look.

TheFaerieQueene · 24/03/2020 20:32

National service for those caught. A bit of military discipline might make them think twice!

NonUrinatInVentum · 24/03/2020 20:33

Up to €1300 here in France!

LunaLula83 · 24/03/2020 20:39

450€ in France. Second fine is 1000€. If it makes people wake up!
