    Biast reporting from the BBC,i spoke with some people who were at this and the truth is the old bill were seriously heavy handed and lashed out indiscriminality at trhe party people there,why cant they go out and arraest real criminals instead og people not harming anyone in a rural field it makes me sick.

    On the plus side it's good to see the obvious increase in outdoor illegal raves,people are getting sick of rip off corporate clubs and just like the old days want to get out there and party and fair play that was what the whole scene was all about.

    Hate hearing about this kind of thing.

    In fairness though, returning the abuse will only make things worse but its understandable when the cops lash out at innocent people just up for a good time.

    It's good to see these events popping up again though.

    Um, because the landowner made a complaint to the police and requested those people be removed from his land? They were trespassing, and appropriate action was taken.

    I'm not anti "rave", i've been to quite a few myself, but you have to remember that not all of them leave no damage to property/land or clean up after themselves.

    The landowner had not given permission for the party

    Must have missed this bit.

    If that's the case then the party-goers were indeed trespassing and police intervention should have been expected tbh.
