I think Weymouth and Portland Borough Council have set the exapmle to follow............
They just keep on, with their now discredited arguments, and nothing to gain because they think they have no choice.
We have NO CHOICE but to use everthing in our power to ensure that the traditional activities that others appear to value can continue as they have always done, in the UK.
There is another article in the Stage. The justification the council is using in this article, is surreal. All we have to do is to keep getting them to publicly attempt to justify their actions and they will strangle themselves, with their own words.
It may appear that UK folkies know about this situation, but they do not.
I have been playing in sessions this weekend at Swanage festival. No one playing in them that I have spoken to, was aware!!!
