Police have vowed to take enforcement action against those present at an illegal, COVID-breaching gathering which had to be stopped by officers during the early hours of this morning (Saturday).
At around 02:00, Hampshire Constabulary attended an address in Ryde following a tip-off that a party was taking place against COVID-19 rules set out by the Government.
Officers soon discovered more than 20 people together inside the property, with no social distancing taking place.
Police say they will be taking action to enforce the law against those who breached the COVID-safe regulations. Licensing enquiries are also taking place at a connected commercial property.
A spokesperson has said:
“Blatant breaches of COVID restrictions will be enforced. We all know the rules by now”.
Islanders who know someone who attended the gathering overnight are now being told to consider whether or not they should socialist with those individuals, taking into account the party had a large number of people present.





























































































I wouldn’t socialise with anyone who drinks in that drugs den it’s like a crack house in those toilets check the surface in them
So, do you know where in Ryde then?
I’m amazed by how quickly we’ve moved from “be kind” to “bully those who are different from us” Fear erodes empathy. But people should be better than this.
Let people have some fun for goodness sake!!
Well that’s dumbest comment ever. Hope they all get fined or better yet get the virus, bunch of stupid twats thinking they are above the law.
Are people thick or just stupid
Ignorant twats
What’s the difference Old Bean between being thick and/or stupid????? Dunno, all I know, you can’t teach stupid. These types won’t, don’t stick to the rules, they think they can do whatever they like. Fine them heavily.
Would be interesting if this virus does mutate and effect the young instead of the elderly and vulnerable.
That will be the ONLY thing which will prevent the numerous selfish from not caring about others is when it is a risk to ‘their’ self indulgent lifestyle.
Mind, if I were a little younger and some young babe invited me, brains are no longer in control, so do understand why it happens.
This report has no mention of age. Also in the first lockdown it was not the young breaking the restrictions it was in fact the Island MP Bob half sausage who again this week has revealed his caring nature for the island by depriving the most vulnerable in our society of food.Tory Scum is an understatement.
He has not deprived any one of food .What a ridicoulous statement .do actually know what you are talking about ,or just regurgitating lies you have read on social media .
I too am always waiting for approval ffs because you must not say anything that doesn’t agree with the governments bullshit or be seen to have a mind of your own and not brainwashed
Why don’t you shove your head somewhere. Not all young are the same and some have died sadly and not due to their own fault. There are many older people who break the rules just as much. It’s the young who will pay the price for all this and probably the next generation too.
Sorry, it’s affect!
There is absolutely no mention of age! As an 18 year old (didn’t have an 18th birthday party due to COVID) I can assure you that everyone I know of a similar age to me has been sensible about this whole situation. It think it’s disgusting that you can assume that it’s the younger generation just because it mentions a party!
Selfish scum
£10 grand each fine will sort it… Just like in Nottingham
Wait until the try to fine anyone. No one will ever be fined in the real world
You must be joking? Do you think they have the money to pay the fine? Before anyone starts castigating me for making biased comments about people who live in Ryde…I’ve already read of fines being issued to younger people hosting party’s in mainland UK and thought it was pointless because they won’t have any money, I don’t mean people who live in Ryde per se.
It is not even ‘about’ the money. The media would rip any Government apart for fining people. The party goers would just lie, and now, with only absolute proof would anyone dare fine anyone, at best just the householder may, get a fine, and they would likely get away with it, by saying people just were to drunk to leave when more than 6 arrived, or people gate crashed it, etc.
So the guests would just say that they ‘had come to complain about the noise’ or, just come to take someone home after they realised that there were more than 6 people there’ etc etc.
Old people like the idea of the Government imposing more ‘rules’ and laws, as it gives them a false sense of security, but the young KNOW 99% of such rules and laws can, and will be broken with NO consequence, so they do so with impunity.
I don’t think they have student loans
They should all be fined!! Scumbags
Will these ignorant self centred morons take notice of the restriction, hope they are fined heavily.
facist state telling people who and how many they can have in their own private residences.
Sod them – this 99.98% survival rate virus is being used, by power hungry idiots, slavishly following another power hungry group of so called scientists that have been wrong at every turn to turn the mindless drones in this country into useless fools that will do their bidding for them.
if all these stupid rules, distancing guidelines and mask wearing were effective then there would be no new cases – it is clear that their dumb rules don’t work and therefore the correct action is to ditch the lot and go back to normal.
Just live with the virus and all other viruses and diseases that circulate the planet.
let the tin foil hat, panic brigade hide indoors with arm fulls of dettol – the rest of us will be keeping the country going.
Funny how it is ok for public sector to get paid 100% of their wages, including politicians but the private sector is impoverished and trashed – typical socialist lefty do gooders, wrecking everything.
No the correct action is FULL LOCKDOWN which is coming very soon thank goodness
The reason they are not effective is that people are not abiding by the guidelines. The security personnel at one major supermarket told me yesterday that I was the first person that morning to clean trolley and clean my hands. Inside there were at least 5 females not wearing masks, but staff are not allowed to question ‘why’.
Why don’t I ever get invited to these Boris dodging shin digs???
Let’s have some more party’s
The ‘ignorant morons’ are actually those who do not have the self-respect to think for themselves, do their own research, and not just believe without question what lying governments tell them. I see such examples in the comments here.
Do they know that the ‘virus’ has never been isolated and shown to exist with 29,963 of its alleged 30,000 genetic base pairs created by a computer programme and never directly identified in any study of the so-called ‘virus’??
As one doctor said: It’s like finding a small piece of hoof, a hair from a tail and a fragment of horn and programming a computer to fill in the rest and decide it’s a unicorn even though no one involved has ever seen the unicorn.
Do they know that Kary Mullis, the American inventor of the PCR test being used to diagnose ‘infection’, said that the PCR should never be used to diagnose infectious disease because it CAN’T? ‘The PCR cannot detect free infectious viruses’, he said, when condemning its use to look for HIV. But that it what it is being used for with ‘Covid’ to manipulate fake ‘cases’. Hence there is now so much controversy about ‘fake positives’.
Do they know that virologists have been unable to infect human tissue with the alleged ‘virus’ and only monkey kidney cells after those cells were subjected to two drugs known to damage kidney cells??
No, of course, not. Unless an ‘ignorant moron’ like Matt Hancock says it then it can’t be true, right?
Why is the Isle of Wight with its elderly population and visited by all those mainlanders during the summer not a centre for the ‘virus’ instead of down the bottom?
Children and young people watch their world and their future turn ever more fascistic because adults who act like children are allowing it to happen – even demanding it – by believing whatever daddy and mummy state tells them to believe.
Baaa, baaa. Pathetic. God help the kids.
David, whilst most of us don’t have the intellect to disagree with what you have said, I can’t imagine that those ‘kids’ throwing a party, likely with dope, other drugs and alcohol, have taken such information on board either.
They just do what is the most tempting when you are young, and that is to throw caution to the wind, and worry about something, when or IF, it happens, and, still being ‘children’ at heart are used to others bailing out their mistakes.
Sadly now, society carries on bailing out the mistakes of the careless, thoughtless, and ignorant for their entire life, but leaving the rest of us to pay for their constant mistakes.
As to the Summer visitors not bringing CV, imo, I think much news was held back and testing limited in the Summer season by HMG, so as not to ‘worry’ people and put them off of coming on Hols, in the UK, as HMG wanted to keep businesses afloat.
Hence NOW, prior to the Christmas spending spree, CV is highly at the top of the news, as HMG want it to ease when Christmas spending is needed, so by doing a OTT lock down now, it hopes to be able to ease pressure to ensure the tills are pinging for the Christmas spending.
I don’t trust any Government but know, most people take the easy option be it rich or poor, young or old, and ALL criticise the other group to the max.
deluded
ignore “deluded “comment, not meant for you, can’t remove
You have obviously been reading too much drivel on social media.
Joe Bloggs, may I suggest you Google the gentleman.
I have actually seen that artical too, so David is right, you should do your research
Before giving a comment make sure you can spell.
An interesting post David, to which I have replied, but as yet ‘awaiting approval’ for some odd reason.
Not that I expected anything different from yourself, but perhaps you might tell the 23000 people infected in the past 7 days just how clever you are and how they aren’t ill or dying because it doesn’t exist! As someone ‘at risk’ and having watched a close friend fight like hell to survive this insidious illness I prefer to defer to those who are taking precautions and helping those who are seriously ill, despite your eloquent missive. Most do not care what this thing is called, or what ‘your’ research means, it is just a simple fact that people are getting sick and dying at an alarming rate that doesn’t match any known pattern. Families are being destroyed by something unknown, something evil, and something that cannot as yet be stopped, so perhaps you might like to think of those who have died or had their lives altered by the effects of this thing, whatever you want to (not) call it. But any attention is good for some I suppose.
What that article tells you is, the PCR test is being used to diagnose the infection, that PCR test cannot possible diagnose this infection, so how many results from that has been added to the numbers? Yes i Believe the virus is out there cos it is, but who is controlling it?
I tend to agree with David Just look how many people die of Flu which results in pneumonia and if you care to check the ONS stats for Sept this illness is rated number 19 on the chart so thats 18 more serious illnesses above it IE its getting blown way out of proportion and we have so called politicians dictating to us on whom we can mix what we can buy etc etc and even if you go abroad you have to quarantine upon return from certain countries! Its all a political game Scotland,Wales as well what ever next you can buy certain items from the supermarket really its getting silly!
Agree Davimel. I just wish those who don’t believe it or comply to the simple rules could be put on a list and if/when they get this evil disease they are not treated or helped. I’m guessing they may believe it then if they survive!
Its a flu Virus thats why and if you look up the term Covid it means Flu! I feel sorry for everyone that passes but thats life im afraid all the poor souls that have had their cancer treatment stopped why!!!
Is this the same ‘David Icke’ who’s profession is listed as ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ on Wikipedia? And who professes to be ‘The Son if God’?
I note your usual self highly opinionated comment, to which you have a right, and so you should, it is unfortunate that you also brainwash an element of the population, by such things as you were the son of god, or the fact the human race is controlled by reptiles who shift to human appearance in public. You are very fortunate to live in a country that allows free speech, even in your case.
Idiot
so well said Mr Ike,
Brilliant David as always. Tens of thousands of doctors back up exactly what you have said. Today it’s appears that normal “flu” has miraculously disappeared around the world.. a 98 per cent drop this year. I will not wear a mask and I will hug whoever I like. Why people can’t do their own research and critical thinking is beyond me! Perhaps this paper could interview some of those on the island who are interested in the freedoms and rights of all individuals. Listen to Mike Yeadon readers!
so well said Mr Ike, as usual, a voice of true reason and understanding, greatest critical thinker of our time.
Should socialist with other individuals?
I noticed that too, Viv. I can’t help picturing a monkey sat at a typewriter, scratching its head. And is that ‘the’ (sorry no italics option on my phone) David Icke? I feel a bit star struck!
so going on that every supermarket on the island is breaching covid safe rules as everytime i go to tesco, aldi and morrisons, there are more than 6 people shopping with no mask, and the council are also breaching the rules as everytime i walk down ryde high street there are more than 6 people without a mask.
never worn one, never socially distanced, never will do either, freeman, not controlled by tyranny.
still waiting approval; ffs
God forbid they were having some fun in this dictatorship we are now living in
Let’s hope they are still alive in 2 weeks time!
100% they will be as 99% plus survive a cold
In other news I couldn’t get a train home this evening after a 16 hour shift because the guard had worked 8 hours without a break
Self centred, brainless dirtbags. If they think they’re so clever, lets see them being forcibly used for some laboratory experiments to redeem themselves.
Well said Caroline, 100% agree x
Better still let’s build some concentration camps and gas them
£100 fine each. That will make these irresponsible idiots think twice next time. Probably won’t happen though, just get off with a caution which seems to be usual for this island.
What will be interesting Is to see if any of those involved develop a virus!! I was surprised that there wasn’t a spike, as it’s called. Occurred after hundreds of thousand people gathered on beaches, mountains, etc in the summer….♂️♂️
According to Island Echo there has been a spike Ryde/Wootton etc
Not true .
Never ever have Governments around the world given anything to Population
even during wars, when ration books were in force,it must be very scary to go to these lengths.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.” (George Orwell, 1984)
“You’re a wizard, Harry” (Hagrid, 1997)
Successive Western Governments have done the same with masse im migtration. They have slowly, very subtly brainwashed the indigenous to believe that filling their land with millions of very poor people would be somehow ‘good’ for them.
Yet the only people to ‘gain’ are the huge factory and businesses owners, who are not just ‘coincidently’ political party supporters, as they do ‘gain’ by more impoverished coming here then lowering the wages they need to pay. For the business owners can they pay the lowest wage, for the worst conditons, knowing if you won’t work for it, the next boat load will.
Bad enough, but then because the wages are low, the public then have to have stealth taxes imposed upon them to pay for the heavily subsidised rent and council tax of the new comers, and to pay for all the expensive education and NHS fees for all their oft numerous children.
So we lose out in many ways, by having more expensive rents and property prices, due to supply and demand, but then, for the same supply and demand reason, we have lower wages. And then have stealth taxes imposed to pay for their increase demand for child and working tax credits and all the extra places for their children’s expensive education and NHS demands.
The environment suffers because of more houses are needed, causing more energy, water, waste, and rubbish. More cars and pollution. And less wildlife and green spaces as more homes cover our once beautiful land. Everywhere becomes more overcrowded and unpleasant, beauty spots filled, beaches crammed, roads a nightmare.
Add more of the most terrible crimes, and you ‘surely’ can see, what a wonderful ‘job’ the Governments have done in making the ‘unacceptable’ acceptable, all done slowly over the years so each generation just ‘accept it’ without complaint.
A great post Geoff.
Main issue is now, those businesses who did gain by these people, now no longer want so many staff. And unlike when the UK just issued work visas for any extra needed labour, the country (us) then have to pay to keep all these now unneeded people, who, because of culture of many children, are growing vastly in numbers, at a time when less and less manual labour is needed.
A perfect storm of future misery for our children now, but the rich business owners will not worry, they can afford to live a wonderful life, anywhere they choose to, private health, private education, living away from the crime and overcrowding they impose on us.
Yet the old race card is pulled if anyone tries to discuss this at higher levels.
Disgraceful what politicians have done for greed, few love their country and just use the UK to make a name and or money and once ruined are off, hence they want to stay in the EU as yet another gravy train to rob for them.
Wow finally someone who is not brainwashed by the tv.Switch it off read the above book that will give you something else to think about
Two questions… If this Covid-19 is not real, then what is the gain throughout the world?
I think there maybe something out there, plus it is flu season, so I wear a mask and distance myself, as asked. I do get annoyed though when I see older children not distancing and no masks… have the parents not been informed that these people can be carriers? Obviously not.
I was in a pub the other day and a man came i9n with two over 10 but under 16 year olds, none of them had masks on. Unknown why they were allowed in and served..
I think I have found the problem on this occasion not many people in ryde can count pass 6
