THE British public have been under lockdown for nearly a week, with people told to stay inside and avoid gatherings to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

But the government measures weren’t enough to stop 25 adults and children gathering for a ‘massive’ karaoke party on Saturday night.

Police based in Derbyshire said they were in ‘absolute shock’ when they visited the address, before dispersing those in attendance and speaking with the organisers.

The force said on Twitter: “Officers have just attended an address in absolute shock to find 25 adults and children having a massive party with speakers and karaoke.

“Everyone dispersed and hosts dealt with.

The party came on the first weekend of the nationwide lockdown in response to the outbreak of coronavirus, where the British people have been told to stay at home for at least three weeks except for “very limited purposes.”
