The Poke returns after the sellout Planet-Mu special in May with a stellar lineup. we have live sets from the wonderful Exile, with his mentalist fusion of mutant drum and bass and electronica returning to celebrate the launch of his Pro-Agonist LP on Mu and the legendary B12 for only their 2nd London show in 8 years, joined on the decks by the equally elusive Stasis, the deep bleeps and bass of Unique 3, the funky minimal techno of dub KULT, Snapmouth's incendiary bitchpop and the acid horse delights of Wheels Instead of Hooves.
In room 2 we raise a glass to cheer the release of 'London Electrics vol. 1' a 12 track compilation from the newly formed London Electrics collective, a collaboration between Ai Records, Expanding, Furthur, Highpoint Lowlife, Seed, Suburb and Uncharted Audio. Playing live we have sets from Confutatis, Cursor Miner, Fisk Industries and Jacen Solo, whilst Digitonal, John Power and Sun Ov spin the platters that matter.

UK : Wales/Cymru : *sucessful PEL prosecution by Welsh council* Officlal press release from the council..
Council prosecute for illegal rave
Ceredigion County Council and Dyfed Powys police have successfully fined the organiser of an illegal rave that was disturbing residents of Rhydlewis.
On Friday 14th May 2004, Robert Evans of Cwmbedw Rhydlewis, Llandysul, pleaded guilty at Cardigan Magistrates Court to an offence under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 after a “rave” was held at the property on 21-22 July 2003.
The unlicensed event caused considerable disturbance to residents in the Rhydlewis area and the congestion and general public order problems required considerable police attendance. Uncontrolled events such as this have significant health and safety implications, especially when access for emergency services is restricted and the behaviour of the individuals attending is not effectively managed.
As Bryan Thomas, Director for Environmental Services and Housing said; “The event was held with little regard to the safety of people attending and even less consideration for the impact on residents of the area. These particular licensing requirements were introduced to ensure that events of this type can be properly regulated and that operating arrangements are agreed in advance. People need to understand that deliberately flouting such controls will not be tolerated.
“This case once again highlights the importance of partnership working between the Heddlu Dyfed Powys Police and Ceredigion County Council. I would like to thank the police for their involvement in this matter and also the members of the public who supported the action taken”.
Mr Evans was find £500 and ordered to pay £550 costs.
?? 2005 Ceredigion County Council
I always wondered what the Welsh for "rave" was!!!
Y Cyngor yn erlyn am rêf anghyfreithlon
Mae Cyngor Sir Ceredigion a Heddlu Dyfed Powys wedi llwyddo i ddirwyo trefnydd rêf anghyfreithlon a oedd yn tarfu ar drigolion Rhydlewis.
Ar ddydd Gwener, 14 Mai 2004, plediodd Robert Lewis o Gwmbedw, Rhydlewis, Llandysul, yn euog i dramgwydd dan Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 1982 (Darpariaethau Amrywiol) yn dilyn rêf a gynhaliwyd ar 21-22 o Orffennaf 2003.
Achosodd y digwyddiad didrwydded gryn drafferth yn ardal Rhydlewis a bu’n rhaid i’r heddlu ymdrin â phroblemau megis gormod o draffig a materion yn ymwneud â’r drefn gyhoeddus. Mae gan ddigwyddiadau fel hyn, nad ydynt dan reolaeth, nifer o oblygiadau o ran iechyd a diogelwch, yn enwedig pan rhwystrir mynediad i wasanaethau brys a phan nad oes digon o reolaeth ar ymddygiad y bobl sy’n mynychu’r digwyddiad.
Fel y dywed Bryan Thomas, Cyfarwyddwr yr Adran Gwasanaethau Amgylcheddol a Thai; “Cynhaliwyd y digwyddiad heb fawr o ystyriaeth i ddiogelwch y bobl a oedd yn mynychu a rhoddwyd llai fyth o ystyriaeth i’r effaith y gallai gael ar drigolion yr ardal. Cyflwynwyd y trwyddedau arbennig yma er mwyn sicrhau y gellir rheoli digwyddiadau o’r math hwn ac y cytunir ar drefniadau gweithredu o flaen llaw. Mae’n rhaid i bobl ddeall na fyddwn yn barod i dderbyn unrhyw un a fydd yn herio’r rheolau yma.
“Unwaith yn rhagor, mae’r achos hwn yn pwysleisio pa mor bwysig yw’r bartneriaeth rhwng Heddlu Dyfed Powys a Chyngor Sir Ceredigion. Hoffwn ddiolch i’r heddlu am eu rhan yn y mater hwn a hefyd i aelodau’r cyhoedd a gefnogodd y gweithredu”.
Cafodd Mr Evans ddirwy o £500 ac fe’i gorchmynnwyd i dalu £550 mewn costau.

CN : HK : Teenagers hooked by ‘free samples’ at rave parties Looks like the drugs culture is becoming well entrenched in HK and South China!
Interesting note about "young girls being given free samples" - although once again they over-exaggerate the "perils of addiction".... its a bit like they are living in the 1800s like some ancient Chinese play
NB: The following paragraph will have added comedy value if read in an exaggerated Chinese accent (think of Bert Kwouk...)
"Aiyaaa! Master Peng is a rascar, he has been giving young Wi Lei a rove potion in order to entice her into the opium den where he can, lavish her and rob her of her maidenhead...."

Twenty-three-year-old Kei Chuen-shing started abusing drugs when his father's business ran into debt several years ago.
Recalling the nightmarish period at a press conference held by the Action Committee Against Narcotics yesterday, Kei said drugs were his way to avoid problems.
"I felt like a loser, with the financial difficulties at home. I felt hopeless and helpless when I thought of my future. I took drugs so that I could escape reality. But I've actually put my life and health at great risk," he said.
Taking "party drug" ketamine only in the beginning, Kei said he gradually increased the dosage and even mixed it with other drugs to get high.
To obtain money to buy drugs, Kei had to resort to illegal activities.
Meanwhile, his health was taking a toll.
"I had been sent to hospitals for emergency treatment several times because of overdoses," he said.
Though Kei has succeeded in kicking the addiction for more than one year, he is still suffering from side-effects like poor memory.
Kei is now studying in Christian Zheng Sheng College, a special school for rehabilitated drug addicts.
According to the committee, a government advisory body, the number of drug-abusing young people is on the rise in Hong Kong.
Though the number of all drug abusers has dipped 6.5 per cent to 12,003 in the first three quarters of the year compared with the same period last year, those aged under 21 has increased by 4 per cent to 1,694, according to the committee.
Ketamine abusers aged under 21 soared 47 per cent to 1,185 in the first three quarters of this year, compared with 805 in the same period last year.
Young people taking ecstasy pills numbered 574 in the first nine months of this year, compared with 440 in the same period last year.
Daniel Shek, a Chinese University of Hong Kong professor who chairs the Action Committee Against Narcotics' subcommittee on research, said the increase in young drug abusers is related to the "rave culture".
Young people, especially girls, are given free samples of psychotropic drugs in parties to get them hooked.
"Young people wrongly believe that taking drugs can help them escape from their problems and feel relaxed. But they don't know how seriously drug abuse can harm their health.
"We have also found that youngsters who have the smoking and drinking habit are more likely to take drugs than non-smokers," he said.
Ronald Chen, assistant professor of the University of Hong Kong's department of psychiatry, said his department has conducted a study on the cognitive impairment and other harmful effects of ketamine abuse.
More than 100 drug abusers were examined in the study and almost all were found to suffer from weaker memory and long-term mental disorders.
"They have more difficulty organizing or performing tasks. They also have more psychiatric disturbances - always feeling anxious, depressed or having suicidal thoughts," Chen said. He gave a dire warning on overdosing and mixing drugs. "It can be fatal," he said.
Action Committee Against Narcotics Chairman Choi Yuen-wan said cocaine may be staging a comeback.
"There is a growing trend that people start abusing cocaine again in US and Western Europe as the price of the drug has dropped," said Choi.
Hong Kong has followed the trend in Western countries in the past. "We are alert to the global trend," Choi said, adding that it will adjust its strategy if the trend is seen in Hong Kong.
Police have seized about 60 kilogrammes of cocaine so far this year, compared with 6.63 kilogrammes last year and 8.3 kilogrammes in 2002.
Commissioner for Narcotics Rosanna Ure said yesterday the government and police will join forces with teachers and parents to fight drug abuse among teenagers.
The government will carry out more educational campaigns targeting young people.
my 5 week old daughter is an illegal alien! this is nothing to do with parties but i thought i post it as it shows how our lives are not our own in many ways
we're off to sweden in August to visit the family, show off our five and a half week old daughter and get married
or so we thought
being born here to a British father and Swedish mother has left our little girl in a citizenship anomily
we applied for a British passport (new born babies have to have a passport)...she was born here, her dad is British, and we all live here
she can't have a British passport because her mother (my partner) doesn't have 'indefinate leave to remain in the UK' stamped in her passport, nor does she have a residence permit
she can only get the 'indefinate leave to remain' stamp if she successfully claims refugee status - which she can't do as she isn't being persecuted (much) in this country or in sweden
she can get a residence permit - but her nationality (and that of all EU citizens) permits her to reside here already - so it is of no benefit to anyone...
if she applied for one, the process takes 6 months, costs money and includes hearings at the home office!!!
the upshot of it all is that my five and half week old daughter is an illegal alien...(one to add to Blair's '570,000')
she cannot have british citizenship, but equally she cannot leave the country without a passport
British Immigration, UK Passport Service and the Home Office are:
full of shit
rude and ignorant
stupid
mindless drones working for a dysfunctional system that does not benefit the general public
and one bloke i spoke to after 4 hours on hold sounded like Papa Lazaru
anyone else ever feel like going and living in a cave in morroco or somewhere?
Are the Hoodies the Goodies? no flippant comment this time - this genuinely seems like a brilliant idea..
Quote:
Are the hoodies the goodies?
BBC News community affairs
The mere sight of a hooded teenager is enough to make some people hurriedly cross the road. But appearances can be deceptive. Not every street-wise youth is out to terrorise you. Meet Mr Hoody Two Shoes.
Sharmarke Hersi fits the description. He's tall with cropped hair and wears a hoodie and trainers. And for those whose fear of teenagers is driven by something more troubling still, the colour of his skin will no doubt make them cross the road.
But he's not happy about society's impression of him or his peers. In fact he's pretty angry about it - not least after he was stopped by police officers last year who were looking for a knife-wielding robber in north London.
When the A-level student asked why he had been stopped, he was told he fitted the description of a tall black man wearing a hoodie. If he meets the same officers again, he will be telling them that, subject to getting the grades, he's probably off to study international relations at university.
"It's like some kind of moral panic," he says philosophically. "I was on the train not long ago and a lady was holding her bag tight because of my dress code. You sometimes see people crossing the road to avoid you or putting their phone away."
Gang culture and youth crime is something that Sharmarke and his friends grew up seeing around their neck of Camden in north London. But after one student died in a knife attack in 1994, the head of one of the biggest schools in the area vowed to turn it around and instil in all his young charges a sense of community solidarity. Huw Salisbury, now retired, was nationally recognised for his efforts at South Camden Community School, particularly because of his pioneering work in integrating refugee children into the mainstream. But Sharmarke says it's the former head's mantra of doing what is right for those around you that stuck with him.
Tackling gangs
"My little brother and his friends were hanging around in groups and had nothing to do. There was violence between the white community and the Asian community and people like me, Somali kids, were sort of in the middle. I didn't want to see them following in the footsteps of others, younger boys looking up to the older ones and thinking that gangs were the thing to do."
That's when youth charity Envision turned up. The organisation works with hundreds of teenagers, predominantly in London, and helps them take leading roles in shaping their communities. Unlike most volunteering organisations, it doesn't tell them what to do. Instead, it supports them in all their ideas - good and bad - and teaches them how to negotiate the roadblocks of officialdom which stand in the way.
"You don't know what's going to work sometimes because every school or community is different - but it's about being willing to put some trust [as adults] in someone's ideas
James Williams of Envision
In the case of Sharmarke, he wanted to set up a sports club, based around the martial arts he enjoys, to provide a focus and discipline for younger teenagers at risk of getting into gang culture. Run on a shoe string budget, the project eventually attracted up to 40 people per session - 40 people who could very well have been hanging around on the streets. As a result, gang culture may be a little bit weaker today in one area of north London than it was two years ago.
"We believe that young people have the ideas and we want to take their ideas and turn them into action," says James Williams of Envision.
"You don't know what's going to work sometimes because every school or community is different. But it's about being willing to put some trust [as adults] in someone's ideas."
Active citizens
Demos, a think tank that looks at what makes communities tick, says Sharmarke's experience and Envision's other projects have wider lessons.
Its new report looks into what makes Britain's most active volunteers. And it argues that fear of hoodie culture, and the branding of teenagers as apathetic or a threat, is damaging efforts to rebuild communities.
Crucially, argue authors Paul Skidmore and John Craig, society and officialdom's reluctance to listen misses a trick: if government wants to strengthen communities, then people like Sharmarke need the chance to do the work, rather than just be told what to do. Rather than focus on Asbo-aggro rhetoric, those in power should actually be asking the hoodie two-shoes in society for help in finding the way out.
The report's publication is timely. This month sees the first Children's Commissioner for England sit down at his desk. Professor Al Aynsley-Green argues that government needs to stop consulting young people and start properly involving them in society as citizens, albeit young ones. It's a view shared by Demos' John Craig who says the approach needs to be applied to volunteering.
"Young people expect to be able to engage and participate in communities on their own terms," says John Craig. "They don't want to sit on a committee and so on. Now that's a challenge for politics and politicians because some of the things that they may want to do are difficult to measure in terms of what they do for a community.
"But that's why we called this report Start with People because much more needs to be done to go to young people and challenge preconceptions that we may have.
"There's this desire [in Whitehall] to 'build capacity' into communities. I think that communities and people are pretty capable already and it's the politicians and policy makers who have to learn from them, not the other way around."
