Thoughts... what about the locals

[Peroni]

Just read this on the daily fail (they have a good app. What can I say... )

Angry residents of quiet village in battle to get festival banned http://dailym.ai/1J07vyD

I guess glastonbury had this aa part of its history... but what do you all think? Should villiage/locals have a say on what events are held on basis of who's on the bill?

[TheBurns]

Locals should have a say about the infrastructure etc involved but if it meets all the criteria needed I'm not sure they can really complain, I suspect they just dont like "the rap racket"

[Waapster]

Typical Daily Mail bollocks. Have you seen how race goers behave after a meet? 15,000 is probably small fry but DM like to frighten little England. I don't think there's anything to see here...

[frostypaw]

Christ no... can you imagine the fuss if they poured over every line up?

As long as the event is within sound/disturbance/traffic limits as set by the council with input from the locals that should be the end of it.

This has got me worried...

"Snoop Dogg is probably as violent as my cat - he's very vicious"

I'm off to Y not festival where he's headlining and now I'm seriously concerned he might start hissing and scratch my arms or bite my face. Or even worse come violently bursting in to my tent with a half dead bird in his mouth leaving a trail of blood and feathers for me to deal with while he proudly retreats outside waiting for me to feed him or roll him some of that 'weed' stuff he's well known for his love of.

Well personally I think you should stop reading the Daily Mail. You're only encouraging them.

Class.

Just wait until five thousand scousers arrive

I wonder how many parties Keith Hood gets invited to.

His cat gets invited to more.

Maybe you are right. But it's bite sized showbiz section is tough to beat...

[Chris_Hayter88]

The way I see it, if they don't like it they should move!

[The Placid Casual]

Nah, his cat just sticks Snoop Dogg on and starts fighting with everyone. Terrible party guest.

This guy has hit the nail on the head here.

Just to chuck something in the mix, what about properly morally questionable acts?  This kind of goes beyond Glastonbury I guess as I can't see the Eavii ever booking someone particularly odious but what about as a general question?  Long time ago, but a band like Skrewdriver for example?

 

Residents might have a point if a festival on their doorstep meant that their area was associated with white supremacist bands?  Extreme example, but it does raise the question.

Most daily mail readers would probably be all for it.

We need to stop (as a majority) caving into the views of the minority.

 

Just because a couple of people don't like something, doesn't mean the festival gets cancelled!

Aww that's nice.

I can't believe what passes for journalism in many cases. It's not like it's just the mail - why the hell do people care?!?!?

[Gnomicide]

I can't believe what passes for journalism in many cases. It's not like it's just the mail - why the hell do people care?!?!?

 

So they can either say "Aww that's nice" and feel a little happier with their lives. Or more likely say "Look at that! Typical! I can't afford to go for so called 'Lunch' with my wife and baby. Bloody posh gits, probably immigrants too."

 

All in all, if it's in the Daily Mail. it's best avoided. A hateful publication.

[frostypaw]

Aye I know, I just don't get how that can keep people entertained.

Their lives need more content

I Caught a bit of the Big Brother final last night. A man received applause and cheers for spelling correctly the word 'canoe'. We're all dooooomed...!
