'If we think there’s large groups of people gathering where they shouldn’t be, then police will have to intervene,' an official warned.
BIRMINGHAM, England, October 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The politician responsible for the UK police force in the West Midlands area has stated that he will order the police to break up family gatherings around Christmas if they violate the government’s “rule of six.”
David Jamieson made the comments to the Telegraph, stating that “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 then referred to the Christmas period, saying “it’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas. 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.”
“The police are there to enforce it and keep people safe,” he continued, “they’re not there to make judgments about whether people should enjoy themselves or not.”
Jamieson, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for West Midlands Police (WMP), oversees the department and has the power to appoint and fire the chief constable.
His comments were more cautiously supported by the PCC for the Merseyside area, who stated that police would “investigate” reports of family gatherings occurring that contravened the existing laws.

Reminds me of the Gestapo or the Stasi. To think the sacrifices made by the Brits in WW-II to keep facism from overrunning their country. Of course the Brits have been disarmed so any active resistance is futile.
And this was the nation that so heroically fought the Nazis, only to become Nazi itself.
Almost as if Oswald Moseley became PM.
I thank God every day that I’m an American citizen! In his infinite wisdom, He set in motion the events that led to the birth of our great nation: The United States of America! Thank you, Father!
“How we burned in the camps...”
Entire extended family will be over for Thanksgiving day supper.
If the cops come to break it up they’d best have a warrant.
Just saying, this ain’t England or France.
There are eight in our family; do I have to kick two kids out of the house on Christmas?
I want to be there for the discussion you have when you tell some that others are favored.
Not too good are these fools.
God Bless your family and may they ALL be with each other and enjoy the celebration of our savior.
