    Heh two of those parties look awfully familiar 😉

    define good.. worth watching but this much publicity is not good for the party scene..

    tar, might give it a watch

    its only about fifteen minutes long btw

    “From drawing board to full-scale prototype, Mark Jordan charts the creation of London’s new Routemaster. Richard Adams investigates why the police are powerless to stop criminal gangs getting rich running illegal squat raves, and, with the price of gold soaring high, Jasmine Birtles meets the Londoners throwing gold parties to cash in on their old bling.”

    great! bloody scum enough people said this would happen!

    just watching now. Looks like this will do the scene no good what so ever. Hopefully it will all die down soon.

    for those who haven’t seen its basically the whole doc is about how free partys are just a money making business for gangs. Its rather badly done but then it is inside out. Fuck knows what squat party they found that cost 22 quid and you got a ticket! never seen that before.

    More worryingly it says at the end that section 6 is going to be reviewed as its not effective.

    If the Minister of Justice has said that Section 6 needs to be changed so that squat parties can be shut down, it sounds like there’s going to be a big clampdown on them soon. Especially if other newspapers start running stories on them (these things tend to snowball once there is a little bit of public interest, until there is widespread outrage and a feeling that “something must be done”). Amazing how much impact a couple of badly-chosen locations can have.

    Is not the law that’s stopping police its manpower.. no change to the law would change the fact that if they come across a party at midnight on a saturday they’d have to get hundreds of people out of bed and into riot gear to do anything about it

    I suspect instead new powers would insead lead to more arrests of the organisers

    Agree though party organisers will shoot themselves in the foot if they keep taking the piss

    fucking hell it is like being in Ashes to Ashes, even seeing Centreforce mentioned. they did used to do parties like that 20 years ago (acid house/pay parties) and eventually the organisers got sent down for serious shit like drugs and organised crime etc..

    I think that crew did a legal one up South Essex way at the footy ground in Loughton, that was called Summer of Love but it got locked off as there was all sorts of beef and mans got shanked.. there are also lots of urban/grime raves done in this manner and dubstep events..

    Look at it this way – when it all kicked off with the Muslims, how many mosques got raided or Islamic protests locked off in comparison to smaller, targeted groups of Muslims getting their doors of their family homes put off the hinges at 6am?

    I’m not sure if the film was inaccurate as such, more exposing stuff certain people didn’t want to be heard. Those commercial pay parties were going on quite lucratively mostly separate from the “scum” party scene (often the owners collude in permitting the use of the building for a fee – its also how many psy trance parties happen) and now their gravy train might have been derailed. The people doing this tend not to be too happy when stuff like this happens and some of the events (not the hippy psy trance parties but the commercial rave/grime/urban ones) aren’t known to attract the most peaceful of folk :crazy_diz

    There’s already that Norfolk Tory’s Bill with greater penalties against organisers stuck in Parliament at First Reading. The MP who put it before Parliament may have stood down due to his wife’s ill health but I think all it needs is for other MPs to pick it up. It wasn’t just Tories what supported it either, all 3 parties did and I checked the MPs involved and they were from both urban and rural areas of the UK where raves were popular.

    This was just down the road to me and yes it was a LEGAL event.

    I didn’t go cos I knew the type of people who would go – I think it was in a part of haighnault forrest or epping forrest – they used to be the same forrest till it got chopped up by loads of roads/buildings.)
