Interesting article – especially as its very recent (mentioning mephedrone and a Volkswagen Lupo; both of which were less well known a few years ago – I had to look up the car having never heard of it, it is even smaller than a Polo so impressive the lad managed to get both sound equipment and passengers into it at all :laugh_at: )
what is going on there is identical to the coastal areas further down South; whilst events are tolerated / balkanised into W and NW England.
its possible the local Councils on the Western coast of the UK are more dependent on income from night time economy as the ports and fishing grounds and maritime industries aren’t as good as the Eastern coast (this appears to have been going on for some decades)
