Reduce Covid fines to the amount paid by those at the Downing Street parties

Closed 122 signatures

What the petition asks

Reduce outstanding fines for and partially refund fines paid by those who broke Covid regulations by attending gatherings. Fines should not exceed what was paid by those who attended parties in Downing Street.
I think it is extremely unfair that ordinary people are punished so harshly and cannot find any way to pay the huge fines while those in power reportedly paid small fines of £50.
