When this happens in the US it is normally a Republican kid. Liberals have conditioned their children to be lazy and expect handouts from the state.
I find it telling that the fine would be reduced if it was "paid quickly." Sounds to me like "mob protection" money.

The London Cops can't catch the terrorist and crooks but they play hail at catching little kids with lemonade stands!!
With all the lawsuits from tainted material and food stuffs, they HAVE to do it! I had stands too, but the times have changed....and not for the better! It would be the CITY and not the family, probably, being sued for not enforcing code.
When I was A kid my young friends and I sold in front of our house to the older kids who got out of school latter than us.. We even sold tickets to our puppet shows. We made the puppets. WE made Halloween scare houses in the basement and sold tickets there also.We even sold the neighbors shiny rocks he put out for landscaping. It was great fun and our weekly allowance was only 5 cents. The dime store down the street got a lot of our business. Now the adults in power are making it hard for kids to just be kids. How sad.
Anybody selling stuff outside the festival needs a permit. Why should this family be any different? Her parents put her up to this so they should pay the fine. It is not like she set up shop on the sidewalk in front of her house. Her parents took her to the festival so she could make money selling stuff. Fine, then obey the law as others are expected to do.
@kwisatz haderac All of the real problems in the world are caused by narcissic control freaks. You, obviously, included.

Common sense is almost extinct in government bureaucrats. This girl is a winner and has a bright future ahead!
A 'trading permit' for a corner lemonade stand. So much for the EU bureaucracy and all that. You guys need a PM who cuts regulations...I'll bet somewhere in Brussels, there are a bunch of pen-pushers now writing specs for an 'acceptable' glass of lemonade that can be sold at street corners. Meanwhile the Cabinet members are drafting proper legislation in all EU countries.
just more insane government thuggery. This time it was the lemonade nazis. England was a free country i thought.
She cannot work, but she could join a demonstration and nastily harass people without fear of any fines.
If the girl had worn a burka, they would never get her fined.
Hey Democrats, this is your Socialism you want so bad , it sucks and makes no sense, it is government in your face, all you Bernie supporters, THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS, DO YOU ?
You must give up common sense if you work for the government. One wonders whether these people live in an alternate reality.
No doubt all other vendors associated with the festival had to pay for the required permit. So why should she get a free pass?
@b1blancer ... because a little girl selling lemonade would take away all their business and cause them to lose money on the effort? Did your common sense go missing as well as the government officials?
Were the revenue collect...er...code enforcement officers under pressure to meet a quota?
"Permitting" and their associated fines is just one more way Liberals use well intentioned laws to program people into believing only government can provide for them.
This is not an isolated incident.
The web is full of stories exactly like this one right here in the USA, do a quick Google or YouTube search for "lemonade stand busted".
Big government liberals don't want free enterprise, they want everyone dependent on the state.
@Mr.Conservative And they certainly do not want children thinking they can work hard and get a reward for it. They might get the wrong idea.
when government has to enforce zoning and business laws on a lemonade stand, it's time to find a new government or a new set of government officials
Wow... 4 enforcers ???? No wonder UK does not have enough man-power to go after terrorists.
Pointy Headed Bureaucrats have their bi-weekly paychecks funded via the force of taxation on people like this little girl who create wealth. These bureaucrats are little people, unaccomplished and incapable of anything great.
So much for the "We expect our enforcement officers to show common sense and to use their powers sensibly" theory. Probably liberals. They have no common sense.
Britain recently passed regulation about, get this, advertising. Apparently gender specific advertising is a no no.
It does not appear this little girl ran afoul of the new Britain state rules you (1984).
So if a company ads a dress they have to have a girl in a dress and a boy in a dress or do they just put the dress on a robot?@gunsmith1911a1
After the furor's died down they'll quietly fine her next year for not paying sales or income tax.
@Dave X Our USA gov. makes us pay sales tax for old stuff that has already been taxed when new at our flea markets.And if we give our grown kids over ten thousand a year then the kids pay tax on that...even tho that money was already taxed in the parents wages. Cool huh? Now many states are taxing food. So much is taxed I am afraid to leave my house. California has a view tax and a twinkie tax.
