Covid passports: 'Illegal raves will be more popular'

Illegal raves will grow in popularity if nightclubs bring in mandatory vaccine passports to enter, an organiser of illicit events has said.

The North East man, known only by his alias Joy Circuit, believes those who are sceptical of the vaccine will turn their backs on high street nightlife.

He has arranged and attended about 100 of the so-called "free parties", where DJs use professional set-ups outdoors.

The Home Office said the events had a "terrible impact" on communities.
