TBH even if the entire Internet broke down this weekend I very much doubt it would stop the cops being on alert anyway across the country.
Police numbers and actions have been boosted anyway since 2001 and that there is always a load of cops on standby every Bank Holiday and public holiday to deal with anything what might kick off, whether it is raves or other trouble/anti social behaviour. They also will be monitoring traffic flows on CCTV, most of the time just to keep an eye on traffic type matters (jams/accidents) but unusual flows of traffic are bound to be spotted.
People shouldn’t be stupid and chat about locations/regions but whatever else we do or don’t say isn’t going to make the cops stakeouts miraculously disappear.
I (genuinely) have no idea what is going on, nor am I particularly bothered.
From what I remember of Wentwood etc everyone stayed in their own seperate groups, divided by regions etc (Norfolk crew in one bit, Suffolk in another, SE England/London elsewhere) and they didn’t interact all that much…
The only “unity” shown was when the wannabe hardmen decided to try and fight the cops/heddlu and everyone paid dearly for that….
Also some daft sket had the audacity to shout out loudly there were “too many foreigners” at the event, not realising that if it wasn’t for those “foreigners” at least one of the rigs (which got confiscated) would not even have been there… also she was clearly English by her accent so she was in “someone elses country” :you_crazy
Despite a fairly good attempt at clearup, the 2006 Davidstow “UK tek” caused such a backlash that it was the first time Britains environmental ministries/ govt depts expressed genuine concern over the impact of illegal raves (I know as I worked for Defra at the height of my involvement with the party scene and they weren’t even bothered about small parties as they caused less damage than normal farming or traffic!). Most of this was to do with the amount of human shit left behind (ditto with Wentwood).
If thats the kind of atmosphere you get at the bigger raves I can’t be fucked with them any more whatever happens…
