The Met Police released an ‘Advent calendar’ of wanted criminals – 9 arresting reactions
The London Metropolitan Police have come under fire for their refusal to investigate the many parties alleged to have been held at Downing Street when social gatherings were forbidden under Covid regulations.
Their reasoning, that there isn’t enough evidence and that they don’t prosecute such cases retrospectively, has come in for considerable scorn – particularly as they were guarding the doors.

There was cheese and wine… but not with friends. It happened a year ago at number 10… but we can't retrospectively make amends…" pic.twitter.com/KH2LBQsJCw— Hannah O'Hanrahahanrahan (@buntyhoven) December 8, 2021
A bit late to realise this but…they have police posted outside Downing Street all the time.
So the police were just standing there, ignoring the law and providing free security for illegal parties???

You’d think their social media team might be working hard to claw back some credibility, but they’ve clearly decided to go in another direction.
We are looking for 12 wanted suspects across London.
Can you help us find them?

Whoever came up with this idea needs to really rethink their future in communications. What is this hot mess? https://t.co/2jQMEYNZBc

I heard all their crimes were retrospective so you weren’t going to bother

By a funny coincidence –
I've got the Metropolitan Police advent calendar.
They claim no knowledge of it even though their guys are on the doors.
