The CJA was 1994 i think, and even though thatcher was long gone, her government still influenced it. They just couldn't handle the fact some people wanted to be free and not under control from legislation and law.

I've had friends go to prison for organising a rave in a forest, where no noise complaints where made, but the riot police came in heavy handed anyway, without warning.

This is Thatcherism i believe, still going strong in 2007.

They get a custodial sentence, but people convicted of robbery, assault, sexual assault etc get let off with a fine and community service!

 

This is brilliant

The gathering of more than 7 people was a labour thing brought about because of the rave/vandalism/sheep barbequeing/ drugs/new age campers on castlemorton common near me. The rave was in 1992/3 if i remember.

 

Bit fuzzy cos we skipped school for 2 days and were kind of out of it.

 

defo tory legislation, John Major,

Bit ott mate, i'm talking about 4 years after she resigned, a law being passed that stopped people from organising free festivals and raves - exactly what she was trying to stop when she was in power.

 

"Are you coming to bed?"

"I can't, this is important"

"What?"

"Someone has said a valid point on the internet and i need to mis-interpret it and reply with a completely off key remark"

Please remember that a gathering of more than ten people listening to repetitive beats in the open air, without a licence is an offence.

 

Sorry, should have mentioned that that post was a warning in case you should feel the need to celebrate the good lady's passing with an outdoor party.

If I may chuck me tanners worth into this most worthy,erudite debate.

I use the word "tanner"......sixpence,half a shilling,24 to a pound purely to show me age....One who remembers fully what went on...not by hearsay,not by connection.

Its not what went on then (79 onwards) but what preceded it.

The staple base of the UK was Coal,Steel and heavy industry....the peak of the culmination of these three was a SHIP.....something we were particularly good at,aye and the manning of the same.

The demise of the famous three started coming about in the mid sixties........anybody here know what a general cargo ship is ???.....Containerisation was on its way.......Coupled with a blinkered attitude by both management and labour force we dug ourselves such a hole that everything and everybody had to fall into it.

Fast forward a decade...the UK had successfully managed to stab itself in both feet,give itself a heart attack and manage a brain haemorrage at the same time......no mean feat really.

Inevitably things had to change......Someone had to be at the forefront of that change......Well we all know who that was.....

From the mid sixties onwards we as a society started to live in an ever changing world,and that pace of change is even more relevant today.

So why the vitriol I ask myself...........She didn't bomb your Granny......"They" did mine...but I don't hold it against "Them" now.

Perhaps now as a society,and I refer to the ever changing world we need a focus......

I'll give you "Ying and Yang".....When Princess Di tragically died there was such an outpouring of public grief leading to flower tributes all over the show these days...The death of Mrs Thatcher,I would suggest is the Yang.....

Do these sort of events assauge our desire to love and to hate ????

If so......I think we all need to get back into the real world and get away from the soap opera mentality.

 

This is in no way meant to offend any member but purely my take on it,I've sat on me hands for long enough

 

BTW

Going back when I'd happily free climb from top plates to inside funnel top......Climb a tree.....no chance...But love to see you people do it.

Respect for what you do .

Maggie god bless you love

I feel ashamed to be English after hearing about this ding dong the witch is dead song... Anyone who has downloaded this toss YOU MAKE ME SICK... Lest we not forget that an 89 year old lady died of a stroke
