No Dancing!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

xyle_one:
i dont know macman, here in the "states" we still have the right to assemble (mostly, and probably not for long) and can dance to music legally (except the promoters & djs, they get jail time and fines under the "crackhouse" law)...

Calum:
yes it's completely absurd, and the thing is that in a liberal democracy, the british citizens have got nobody to blame but themselves. in reality of course  it's more complicated.

this law would never have been passed in an independent scotland for instance...


[edit] here's a link to the criminal justice and public order act 1994 in full if you want to make your own decisions on how restrictive it is. as you rightly point out it removes the right to peaceful protest among many other things.

[edit 2] oh yes we no longer have the right to remain silent here either.

is it just a mood swing, or does it appear that the people in power keep on trying to get more of a strangle hold on us,  day after day, always feeding there urge to control.

beltorak0:
you say mood swing, i say insight, another might say MOTO;

in short, it is not just you.

-t.

SpeeDFreaK:
choasforages, -=they=- already have a stranglehold on us. It's known as mass media, and the RAVE act. That is pretty stupid how dancing w/o a licence is outlawed.
