On Friday 11th December 2009. Andy Norman, Host and organiser of Thimbleberry Music Festival in County Durham, Uk is in court facing the charge of "permit the use of cannabis on his premises" relating to alleged use by the festival-goers of cannabis at the last September festival.No one was, I believe, arrested at the festival. In effect he is to be prosecuted for the alleged offences of other people. If he is prosecuted this would set a precedent that could have serious repercussions for all festivals. Would any land-owner (including the councils) want to risk holding a festival on their land knowing that they could be prosecuted for the alleged offences of the festival-goers upon which they can have little control. This a serious charge. He could face jail. Please join this group and also the Friends of Thimbleberry Festival group:
wankers i think they will find it hard to prove he "knew" it was going on unless they just do some nazi shit and convict him
Thats fucking disgusting. But even that zinger was later trumped by the Judge's own idea. "At some points in court it got comical," says Carl. "He kind of half-laughed and said ‘you could have changed the music to Strictly Come Dancing or maybe line dancing – something that isn't associated with drugs to attract a different crowd' What??????? Would he rather the pilled up clubbers lined the streets? Or went back into illegal raves? This man is a complete tit and has no right to be in such a position of power
The RSPCC need to get down there aswell - that festival is just full of confused kids whos parents are fucked on acid.
i remember an interview years back with harry choo choo saying the scene in ny and surrounding wasnt flourishing due to similar laws against the promoters if drug use was proven at their night. Madness, not as bad as singapore, you can get JAIL, for just LOOKING off it.
You're not the only one - one of my mates won't touch drink, drugs, anything. Yet he's always bouncing around off every wall every time we go out. There's a bunch of his mates that always go out teetotal as well. To brand everyone who listens to dance music as smacked up druggies is stupid and dangerous...
