So, to that fine, morally upright,righteous citizen, who clearly considered a bunch of folkies to be a public hazard, I can only say "get a life, you sad b*****r!"

It is a little puzzling for me to understand the need to apportion blame anywhere but where it clearly belongs. It is clear from speaking to him, that the fine, morally upright,rightous citizen who brought this session to the officer's attention - was the (new) licensee.

As this licensee is the one who is placed at risk by the participants and faces a possible £20,000 fine or 6 months in prison - it is not a little harsh to blame them?

It is also very clear that these officers are NOT following the law.
