From Airstrip One:

Police will enter homes and break up Christmas dinners if families break lockdown rules – and there will be riots, predicts police commissioner

Police chiefs have warned that Christmas family celebrations will be broken up by officers if they flout lockdown rules.

The West Midlands are currently under Tier 2 restrictions, meaning people cannot mix with any other households or bubbles inside.

Mr Jamieson told The Telegraph: ‘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.

‘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.’

Mr Jamieson said he fears civil unrest could boil over in the West Midlands in the near future, with the end of the furlough scheme ‘very likely’ to push people over the edge.

He said: ‘We’re sitting on a time bomb here. We’re getting very near the stage where you could see a considerable explosion of frustration and energy. Things are very on the edge in a lot of communities and it wouldn’t take very much to spark off unrest, riots, damage.’

No shit.  People are suffering from COVID fatigue and Lockdown fatigue. They want to have normalcy in their lives.  Then comes the police to ruin Christmas.

Even the Blitz didn’t ruin Christmas like this.

I would say this is an overreach but this is what happens when you don’t have a Bill of Rights and elect a government that read Orwell as a model not a warning.

I know there are places where this will be tried in the US, especially if Biden wins.

But if you want to see shit go bad real fast, have a SWAT team raid a home for having Christmas dinner as a family and perp walk Americans out of their houses for singing Christmas carols.  Remember that Governor Newsom banned singing at holiday functions because he’s become a parody of a tinpot dictator.

Back the Blue will not take kindly to police kicking in their doors while opening their presents – at least a few this year will be guns.

There is slowing the spread then there is jackbooted thugs breaking up holiday parties.

Cuomo has already done that to the Orthodox Jews of NYC.  Wait until it happens broadly to all Americans at Christmas.
