[Sussex] Another illegal Downland rave…….

[The Clamp]

Farmers are mostly money oriented…….if they were approached in advance most would I suspect happily let the raves happen on their land for a few quid. Organise them properly and clear up after and there’s no harm done

Yep.

Except the Tories have banned all festivals , clubs , etc since March 2020 with no end in sight

That’s because they encourage free thinking and the gathering of creative minds. All the things Tory’s feel threatened by. Obviously Covid is the cause this time but no need to still be closed. Tory’s always have an anti gathering agenda and always pass laws to disrupt them.

As a former police officer said “the quickest way to start a riot is to stop a protest”. Okay, it’s not protest, it’s partying but both annoy and threaten Tory’s .

Good question. Maybe the same way that people who live in remote-ish towns and villages do? Must happen all over the country? How does a teen living in Piddinghoe and wanting to go clubbing in Brighton get home? And his parents who want a nice dinner with some wine?

By car looking at this….

As always, I do feel for the designated drivers.

Interesting that one comment says they “haven’t seen any rubbish at their end.” Nice to see the kids being responsible.

Just seen this on the news . Up popped chief superintendent Nick May . A blast from the past ,I grew up with him up here in Surrey .

Reading threads like this makes me realise, what I’ve suspected for a while - I’m old...!

 

[The Clamp]

Me too! I’d still enjoy the party but I couldn’t think of any thing worse than trudging off a field at 7am with nothing but a long way home and a three day come-down to look forward to.
Sitting round a pub table with good mates and good beer will do me very nicely indeed these days and has done since my early thirties!

Yeah I do agree with that.

5 hours ago, BBC news.

A man has been stabbed to death at an illegal rave near Millwall FC's ground.

Police found the 26-year-old victim at an "unlicensed music event" in an industrial unit in Stockholm Road in south Bermondsey, south-east London, at about 23:50 BST on Saturday.

He was treated by officers and paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene

A 16-year-old boy who was found at the scene with head injuries has been arrested in connection with the rave.

These type of raves are usually quite different to the countryside ones and attended by a different demographic. Bit there’s very little detail in that report so I won’t jump to conclusions.

And? This is in one of the roughest parts of London, the Sussex raves are nothing like that and nor are 99% of the others. More trouble on West Street.

The post I responded to said there aren't riots or murders, I posted a link from the BBC news front page about a murder at a rave, without even doing any research, I just read it earlier when I checked the news. A murder that happened in the last 24 hours, at a rave. It was a direct rebuttal of the point made. I can see now however this conversation is about to become circular, so we'll leave it there. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

I get what you mean. I don’t entirely disagree with some of your points. However, what the police are calling a rave looks to me like a warehouse party. Very different beast.
But yeah enjoy your evening too. I will be up past the break of dawn tomorrow. Not raving but working! How times have changed

Yes,castle Morton put the fear of God into the government.
I can just imagine Michael Howard getting his briefing from his master's.
"40,000 people doing what they want and living as free people and authorities powerless to stop them?we need to criminilse this behaviour quickly before they realise it's them that has the power not us"
Fast forward 30 years and the conservatives are still at it.

Anyone our age (I'm 47, guessing you must be similar) had the best of times early to mid 90s with clubs and drugs

Did the two events you've mentioned above (at the Event!) religiously for about a year, that progressed to The Zap for banging Friday nights until (stupid o'clock some nights) late.

Best of times, it really was..............if you were into the music and drugs that is

Yes I remember it well. I didnt ever make it to the Zap. My last ever Rave was in 1994 @ Hastings Pier, after that my body and head said no more.

I don't know how I used to get to work on a Monday morning

Think the real issue here is drugs and drink driving, got no issues with kids enjoying themselves and having fun. Why can't they enjoy themselves without the use of these. Police are right to arrest those people and the organisers as their action cause the law breaking. Feel for young people though as it must be so frustrating not being able to go anywhere to dance/rave, but stay off the drugs please kids.

I'm exactly the same, I went for the glamping experience at Glasto couple of years ago, my days of roughing it are over

only trouble is vast amounts of norbrtts have just rolled over......wonder how long this gathering is accused of being a super spreader event by the argus.

As someone who worked in the nightlife industry for 10 years - you'd much rather have a crowd off their tits on E than pissed up beer drinkers

Nothing helps many people channel their inner **** like a skinful of mass produced fizzy piss.
