LOL!

Hello!

Well, yes. Thats the general idea. Although you have to admit- the threat to close down the power station did get the medias attention slightly – a tough enough thing to do nowadays.

The movement is about standing up and being counted, and civil disobidence is part of that. When normal people start being prepared to go to jail for their beliefs, then government starts to pay attention. So there will be a direct action campaign, but no-one is really sure what that will take the form of.

The thing that you would have missed about the climate camp if you only watched the main stream media was the week of discussion, debates, training and more discussion about what is going on right now, and what the alternatives are to it. Everyone know what the ‘No’ is- it’s working on the ‘Yes’ that’s the tough bit. but you can’t really go on about the no unless you have a number of alternatives to support it.

I’d suggest looking into the Transition Town movement as a good place to start.

Studio3 is a fantastic example of this. They were alway very easy going when I did stuff there, the bouncers let a lot of stuff slide, and were a lot better than most places (I know at least one is a very sound guy.) However, as usual, everyone took the piss and they had to clamp down.

The owners also did have alot of meetings with the police a few years back who were not happy about the rave crews using the venue, and they did work hard to get them to accept that there had to be somewhere to go!

Can I suggest that the drug problem would still be there if it wasn’t a party scene, that most people (in rural areas at least) have probably tried drugs before they get into parties and that the party scene merely provides easier access to what they would already be doing, and possibly more support in the form of lots of experience from others.

Although some of the posts in the drug section are worrying- and the Yanks asking stupid questions doesn’t help, I think there’s a lot of positives too. I know of at leasrt one person who has said it helped them kick smack, and I’m sure some people have found info to help them look at their drug use in a different light.

Many of these people may have ended up much deeper in a drug problem before getting to the point where they asked for help. Because this is a relatively easy access resource I think it has definitely helped. There is a wealth of experience on here.

Sorry to hear about the night Globalloon- that is a bit of a sod. I’d suggest that you take the cops up on their offer of sorting out a TENS event. The only way forward is to try these events and see if we can come to a compromise- there has been some brilliant events done this way recently.

Tbh I’m not really fussed about the party scene. I’ve been going to a lot of things this summer, and there’s plenty of live events, club nights and festivals to keep me happy now-a-days. Especially after spending the weekend at the Bristol Carnival, and with Ciderfest the other weekend I’m really starting to get into the emerging Ska scene, for example.

GL is more right than he knows, the whole of fucking society is feeling like the 80s (or at least how the 80s looked) and people are going to start getting fed up. Bring it on I say.

At the end of the day, in my 5 years attending free parties, I must have seen no more than 15-20 problems serious enough to merit an ambulance (for example). I’m sure most people have had the same experience. Now how many ‘serious’ incidents occur every single fri and sat night in every town in the UK? If the cops want more people going out and getting battered in town, that’s their decision- it’ll cause a lot more problems in the long run, but they can’t see that.

Once again, them in charge are focusing on the symptoms of our malfunctioning society as they are too power mad to be able to see the causes.

Enjoy the end of days people- something’s gonna hit the fan at some point!

Nope.

Can’t find the bit where “Globalloon Says…….” anywhere!

Love it. Any info on good stuff in London would be wicked right now.

Now THAT is an introduction to PV I can get behind. Welcome sir!
