In what way is it 'illegal'?

Hmm.... overcrowding, for a start.

I dare say 'antisocial behaviour' could be called in for making a noise.

Probably also 'interfering with the operation of a train' by preventing it being used by passengers for the purpose of travelling (due to overcrowding).

Blocking the aisles with your equipment is probably a safety issue.

The naked dancer I saw on one of the pictures certainly could be prosecuted for indecency.

Then, of course, there's the new alcohol ban coming in soon.


That's a start anyway.
 
Well, ajdown, if this gets underway you're welcome to come along. You don't need to drink, in fact, it seems to me that it might be a more efficient protest if a significant proportion of people AREN'T drinking. That way, if the police try to break it up and don't use Johnson's silly new laws, it will show everyone that the laws are unnecessary.

It depends what day it's on, and where I am at that point. I guess the good thing is, of course, that nobody would know who I am.
 
I've been drinking on the bus everyday since that's been in the papers :) Haven't had anyone said a word to me either.

I'd be well up for this tube party though if it does happen..send us a pm.Much appreciated.
 
The 3rd circle line party got stopped by the cops - at Sloane Square, so the party just carried on in the square, with a great big samba band :D

Well then every single day in rush hour is 'illegal'. :confused: Or is the tube only allowed to be crowded with certain kinds of people?

Right, but this is a rather sketchy definition of illegal.

Probably also 'interfering with the operation of a train' by preventing it being used by passengers for the purpose of travelling (due to overcrowding).

But in a free country (i.e. not a police state) whose business is it of anyone to determine who or what can use the tube at any given time, presuming they have paid the fare?

But not illegal, otherwise all the backpackers on the tube for Heathrow are for the high jump.

But, as mentioned, is drinking on the tube now 'illegal' or merely against the rules of the Underground?
 
Who let all the boring fuckers on the boards lately? Miserable, calvinist cunts with too much time to worry about rules.

I guess you're referring to me.

Unlucky. I'm here, and I'm staying until I choose to go elsewhere.

I don't have to worry about rules, because I don't break any of them, therefore I'm not in danger of falling foul of the law enforcement agencies put in place by our democratically elected government for the better good of the country as a whole.

Until they change the rules that affect something that you practise or believe in.

Your blind faith in the powers of the state is appalling. Do you read history?
 
even though boris is banning drinking alcohol on the tube, you cant get arrested for it yet... Just get asked to leave... right? :confused:

Well up for this btw! x x
 
I've seen it mentioned a few places too. However might attract more people and be good if it gets done on 31st May (i.e last day of being legal) and also a Saturday night.

Many things I practise or believe in ARE affected, thanks to liberals and loony lefties. There's absolutely nothing we can do about it, because we get accused of being racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever else by groups like Stonewall.

I am white and straight. In Brixton, I am a minority. Where are the protections for me? Nowhere.

Dear oh dear. And I thought you were just an old fuddy duddy.
 
Clearly you haven't been round Brixton lately.
Click to expand...

No I clearly haven't even though I have lived here for fifteen years, cycle through it everyday, and am off to a Brixton pub to meet some Brixton mates after work

Look at some stats rather than geting your info from "who's on the bus today"

I'll put a smiley this time as I say it with humour

Ahhh...here it is. What makes you feel so sorry for yourself? I'm white, straight, live in SE London and think I have the best deal in the world. What is hurting you so much? Is it the familial alcoholic background? A feeling of being given the rough end of the stick?

Is that a bad thing?

Not in itself, no.

Just making the point that you never see 'white' anything groups, or 'straight pride' marches anywhere. When you do, it's classed as discriminatory, but every other culture and orientation can get away with it under 'diversity'.
