Police Brace For THOUSANDS of Illegal New Years Eve Parties in The UK

Police Brace For THOUSANDS of Illegal New Years Eve Parties in The UK.

Britain’s top cops have warned their forces to brace for THOUSANDS of illegal New Years Eve parties to be held across the country despite Boris Johnson urging Britons to have a quiet celebration.

The Night Time Industries Association (*NTIA) estimates more than 5,000 illegal parties will be held across the UK on Friday. The group claims some organisers are already preparing for a £10,000 police fine by charging punters £10 a head for entry.

In a statement, Michael Kill, CEO of NTIA, said the closure of the night-time industry over New Year’s Eve will lead to a surge in illegal parties. He said, quote: “Following discussions with many of the legitimate events promoters, industry leaders and general public across the country, as well as concerns levied both by regional police and local authorities on the impact of restrictions on New Year’s Eve celebrations, we have estimated that we will see over 5,000 illegal parties across the UK.”

“Many want to see the New Year out and have been socially starved for over eight/nine months. It has also been muted that many of these organisers will target warehouses from lost businesses during the pandemic, and are willing to take these risks and forgive the £10,000 fine within the admission charge to cover their bets. There will also be many people who will push the boundaries of household mixing with parties taking place in households across the country, particularly in remote locations.”
