"The Caravan burning led to ten arrests - no prosecutions - due lack of evidence, no doubt"

Precisely, Jim. If no crime had been committed, then there would be no evidence. But that doesn't mean that the event didn't cause offence.

There were no prosecutions at Darkie Days either. The police - like many others - don't seem to understand the legislation.

No record of complaints at Bacup, except from Lancashire County Council on grounds of road safety.
