tube party on june 1st?

What's this about facebook?



If you wanted to recruit a few thousand fuckwits, you'd put your event on the front page of both London freesheets - wouldn't you?

Facebook is so big and its membership is so diverse that it makes about as much sense to blame it for anything as it does to blame the internet itself.
 
As for the Tube party, Mr Johnson must be rubbing his hands with glee. I'm quite sure he suspected that Londoners are far more interested in their own selfish pleasures than they are in getting involved in serious political engagement, but now he knows it as a fact. From here on in I reckon he'll have an easy ride.

Too bad for the thousands of people who were inconvenienced, delayed, harassed and intimidated by the partygoers.
 
I've changed my mind now that I know there was some proper confrontation with police. No excuse for having a go at staff, none whatsoever, but perhaps a few facebook idjits are now aware of what happens when you don't tow the line.

So, here's a new idea, let's call one every month. See what happens?
 
Pull a mad face because we are crazy man, party on the tube. We are so crazy.

So it is two years old :oops:
 
that was fucking awesome! :D Best fun I've had in years! Apparently I'm on the BBC footage. Met loads of cool people, had soo much fun!

We broke the tube though. They stopped the Circle line in the end. So we took the party to other lines - was hilarious.
 
Government (and the Mayor) appear more comfortable restricting civil liberties than they do restricting the alcohol advertising culture that subliminally tells generation after generation the way to have a good time, to be part of the ‘in’ crowd, to be part of a ‘happening scene’ to paaar-tey is to drink their products. You also of course, need alcohol to celebrate (anything), ‘drown your sorrows’ and ‘lose your inhibitions’.

It’s as faux as advertisers tell us nicotine addiction is cool and bohemian and alternative, or associating car ownership with amorphous ‘right’ and freedom.

In fact, the alcohol thing is even weirder imo as so many try to link it with their sense of national identity. It’s fantastic market penetration- but I suppose you wouldn’t hope for much less given the amount spent through the decades.

Otherwise, I agree with memespring – it’s the crowd pleasing political first-footings of a new broom.

"Thousands of people have marked a drinks ban on the London Tube with a party - leading to arrests, assaults and cancelled trains."

Which will surely make people think this ban was a good idea...............counter-productive to say the least :rolleyes:

Don't be a mug and fall for the newspaper twisting.

You'll find very similar scenes on any tube train after a busy journey. In fact, it's often even worse in the week after the rush hour, when the carriages are full of discarded free newspapers, water bottles, food wrappers etc.

So where's the outrage about that?
