Party Vibe

The main street cordon has been removed but the club is on formal closure until further notice – and the mobile Police station still there.

I hope whoever did this is caught and given at least 5 years – not only have they hurt someone and used illegal weapons they have also cost the community a venue and put more stress on the Emergency Services when the area was already on major incident protocol due to the weather…

putting aside the stupidity of the conservatives and religious types in Denmark, we should simply follow what they did across the North Sea when they relocated the area the Ungdomshus was in…

its clear the ICA has outgrown its location and is attracting the “wrong sort of people” as well as good people. looking at the place in daylight I think it was originally some sort of Council office (there is the Royal Coat of Arms on the top of the building!) what was pressed into service 20-30 years ago when multiculturalism first appeared in Britain.

However today it is no longer fit for purpose, all the space there is not properly used, it is hard to have late night music events there without annoying people as its too near some old peoples sheltered housing, and next to a dangerous main road (seen way more people nearly get run over outside there than get beaten up). we need a venue outside the town centre but not so far away people end up driving long distances whilst not sober (i.e something people could cycle to)

Liz Harsant, the leader of Ipswich Council has called for the venue to be relocated and the officer in charge of the investigation is Detective Chief Superintendent David Cutler, who is responsible for policing “the night time economy”.

according to the media many people involved in that brawl were older than me – yet its the younger people who lose out – they are going to have to find another venue…..

urban music community around ipswich / surrounding areas seems very bad – lots of wannabes thinking they are bad, too much “respect” that means nothing seems to be propagating – lots of frustration and people trying to prove themselves… people arguing over pathetic things and shit like this happens – i havent seen voilence at any other event.

there seems to be rivalry between schools /areas also so people carry on these prejudices into their late teen life and it turns into real voilence rather than name calling

TBH I think its just the standard “youth culture” now and the music is only secondary. That said cops and the rest of society brought this all on themselves, if they’d tolerated the rave scene a bit more OK there would be drugs problems but it was less violent.

now they have violence and drug addiction to deal with.

The Carribean club lost its funding yesterday, in part due to the aftermath of the shooting but they also did not submit an adequate business plan..
