A response from the organiser of the one in South Norfolk. Unfortunately the cops aren’t backing down – but to be fair they would only have acted due to complaints from locals. Diss isn’t that big a town, and there are normally only about 5 police officers in the entire area..
Event planned in good faith – Local – Diss Express
what is worse though, in our country is it is not the very old people (age 55-60+) who often make the compaints. I’ve spoken to these older people and many are very liberal (as they were young in 1960s when hippies and pop music first became popular).
Sadly it is people our age or just slightly older – and even some younger people, some of whom also once stayed out late/partied, but the moment they have kids of their own or get a normal lifestyle they change and want to “make society cleaner/safer”. Last year i was at a party with friends in this same area, and a young woman in her mid 20s called the cops on us and asked for the party to be shut down as it was “disturbing her kid” – despite the fact that my friends children were soundly asleep in the middle house and it was as much a family gathering than a rave!
