NEED SCUMBODY TO LOVE

The Tories are in power, there’s a recession in full swing and at last it’s kicking off with cops coming up against free parties in central London. The police operation against last weekend’s Scumoween Monster Squat Party Ball made sure it hit the headlines.

According to the likes of the Daily Mail, the evening basically consisted of dishevelled halfwits high on the sorts of drugs which normal folk have never even heard of, battling riot police through the night.

The bash, part of a running series put on by Scumtek, was held in an empty sorting (sorted?) office on New Oxford St in High Holborn.

According to one munter “The news reports totally underplay it if anything. It was essentially a riot outside and the biggest rave of the year inside, lawless all night and fairly chaotic for an hour or so.”

At around 11.30pm cops flooded into the area, including elements of the TSG. They succeeded in closing the main entrance, but enterprising revellers broke through at the rear and cops were forced to stand by and watch events unfold.

According to one comment on copper’s blog http://inspectorgadget.wordpress.com (by someone logged-on as Metcountymounty), “Even with force mobilisation we would have had a problem clearing it, it would have been brilliant but messy, and no good news would come out of it. Back to the days of mass raves now, they’ve tried and won, and we’re now screwed.”

We leave the last word to one Dr Manturtle “...defo, you know, sod the cuts, as long as no-one has cut my dancing powder with anything...”
