A Good Friday service at a Polish church was shut down by police for breaching Covid rules as worshippers were threatened with £200 fines.
Officers shut down the religious ceremony in Balham High Street, south London, at around 5pm yesterday.
Footage shared on social media shows an officer tell worshippers that the gathering is ‘unlawful’ and that they have to go home.
This is just abhorrent. If I were the priest I would ask the police to arrest me first. I am shaking with rage that such behaviour is permitted.pic.twitter.com/v40dmVC62W
