In police bodycam footage, 46-year-old Michelle Meade-Wyatt told officers who attended The Ripped Gym in Harlow in Essex in November last year that she did not consent to any fines .
Internet Covid conspiracy theorists are leafleting high streets in an attempt to rally businesses in support of a Great Reopening to defy lockdown restrictions - as police said they would not hesitate to issue £10,000 fines to any firms flouting the rules.
Sinead Quinn, owner of Quinn Blakey Hairdressing, Oakenshaw, near Bradford, is among those vowing to welcome customers tomorrow after previously demanding officials provide proof that Covid existed.
Ms Quinn, who has racked up £17,000 in fines, has liked a social media campaign calling on firms to exercise your right to own a living that has spread on Instagram and Telegram, the encrypted messaging app known for attracting extremist content.
