"An event where absolutely no social distancing was acknowledged."

Sad news coming to light that in Manchester there have been casualties at a massive illegal rave where police were unable to stop it. Tragic reports of stabbings and a rape linked to the illegal rave are being reported by the BBC. An event where absolutely no social distancing was acknowledged. 

"Police were passively driving up and down and occasionally moving people on but when you have 4,000 people and 20 to 30 police it was never going to be enforcement." - Paul Carroll.

DJ Judge Jules has appealed for nightclubs to be allowed to reopen so that clubbers can party safely.

"The fact is people are going to go out - let's just get the clubs and the nightlife industry open as soon as its possible because the industry is suffering immensely and the pent up demand is clearly there."
