READERS have voiced their thoughts after a group of lockdown rule breakers were slapped with fines worth thousands of pounds after travelling to Ulverston for a New Year's Eve party.
A total of 11 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN) were issued by Cumbria Police on New Year's Eve - ten of which were handed to a group of people who had travelled from Merseyside to Ulverston.
Alan Davis said: "Name and shame these selfish people."
Glenn Athersmith said: "Lock them up."
James Heseltine said: "Alan Davis throw away the key."
Christine Parmenter said: "It amazes me why people continue to break rules. Selfish!"
Debbie Reid said: "Christine Parmenter wish they would name and shame them."
Jamie Edgley said: "Will Gardner-Brennand shocking mate, people taking the Michael."
Will Gardner-Brennand said: "Jamie Edgley unbelievable."
Joanne Worrall said: "They are idiots and very selfish, should have been fined more. Anyone who thinks its ok to do what they did should try working on a Covid ward. I hope the property owner was fined too."
Sylvia Stoker said: "Cumbria has a huge rate of infection because of many idiots like this who selfishly put their own entertainment before the safety of others. I am sick of them."

John Gunson said: "Can’t believe that people can be so stupid."
Nicola Ann Johnson said: "Idiots."
Allen Rodgers said: "Was any action taken against the property owner ?"
