Sounds more like something the New Zealand police would do, not the British!

I remember a single riot van turning up at a 'warehouse party' (in a car park) in willesden, they cut the power to the soundsystem and switched floodlights they had with them on and suddenly saw 2000+ people that the 8 of them couldn't do anything about, the response was "as you were".

Music came back on, they stayed and monitored it and it was a cracking night finishing up at about 8am.



That's what I thought usually happened once a party reached critical mass.

From the stories I've read and heard, I'd expect it from US cops, surprised NZ are the same...

And very surprised at UK cops, although they do seem to be getting more hands on.

Yup. all a matter for the police of getting there before it gets busy.

Why don't they get all aggressive with militant foreigners.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting 'FUCK WHAT A RIDE'

Because we haven't had any militant foreigners on these shores since the Normans?
