Party Vibe

the terrain is way different.

unless you lot manage to destroy some area of natural beauty, trash high value buildings or start a war with the local scallies, (which is what may have happened in manchester) most of Yorkshire is wild country and sheep country where raves cause a lot less damage than when they end up on prime arable farmland.

that said the same could be said for Wales and this area got rinsed and locked down too 😥

don’t pick all the same areas/same farms, don’t trash the place and make sure your parties aren’t being attended by scum (i.e those who do real crime such as violence/repeat burglaries of houses) and it hopefully shouldn’t be too on top.

It actually says in the news report that the cops simply watched the traffic flows through Breckland and then got the heli in the air.

Exactly the same way TVP dealt with the Storm/Surge lot on the Ridgeway a few years back.

that also happened in South East England, around 2001-2003 or so – lots of people from those ends (including some of those who berate Norfolk ravers today) have been at raves where that sort of shit happened. Similar confrontations occured in Bristol/Wales on various occasions.

Riot squad on the scene, stuff being thrown at cops, people getting injured on both sides, police cars also getting trashed. Also a stupid amount of vandalism at indoor parties what also brought things on top (as the organisers would be arrested for the criminal damage).

The only reason this stopped and things calmed down is because loads of crews got busted and brought before Court, lots of rigs got confiscated and people eventually realised they could only take the piss so much… the remaining party people realised their limits (or were made to do so).

The young Norfolk ravers may be daft for repeating the same mistakes as other regions (and not realising that the cops were actually cutting them a lot of slack!), some (but not all) seem fairly naive about what they are getting into and many are being overly blatant but they are by no means the first to act stupidly.

Ironically around the time it was kicking off in SE England its possible East Anglia’s scene may have been relatively peaceful (certainly thats the impression the “old guard” like Biotech, Titch and Binge always gave me).
