AND FINALLY
Also at the Workhouse Festival (see Crap Search this issue), one punter enjoying a relaxing herbal smoke was surprised to be seized by two burly blokes and informed that he was under arrest. That’s right, plain-clothes plod bumbling round a festie and – shock-horror! - catching someone having a joint.
Although the unfortunate toker only copped a street caution – the crowd weren’t going to take this lying down. So shortly afterwards, the undercovers developed a bit of a following, with two stalkers dressed as police with one holding a sign just saying “COPS” with an arrow. Being the centre of attention didn’t really suit them and the two were soon reduced to hiding behind festival security.
After a half-hour stand off they left site and weren’t seen again all weekend, and there were no more surprise busts – pass da rizla!
