Unbelievable

hehe

best not have One Minute Silence play - they get the crowd to run round in a big circle, generally has the effect of bringing in the fresh guys from the back and the tired guys at the front moved to the back...

Have we gone back in time? 'those beat groups that the young people like are a dangerous influence...."

FFS the police are again wasting taxpayers money on a non issue and thinking that they can tell us how to liver our lives. I dont like Babyshambles music but to ban them playing on the say so of a police intelligence office (an oxymoron if ever there was one) is ludicrous. Actually, like the interview showed, its only Doherty playing on his own.

The government and its forces have your best interests at heart, here, listen to this governmen approved rock and roll, watch this governmnet approved TV show. I fear for the (near) future.

I'd love to see the record collection of the 'intelligence officer'

Indeed. Seems we are not allowed to listen to music that might make us excited, it's for our own good of course...

Experts are telling us that the profile of fans that follow Pete Doherty and Babyshambles is volatile and they can easily be whipped up into a frenzy, whereas the profile of someone that would follow around Cliff Richard or Bucks Fizz, for example, is completely different."

Hope he doesn't find out about this new whipper snapper called Elvis. The hip movements of that dirty devil are something to be behold!

Exactly, THEY'RE the ones you want to be arresting, they're nutters.

Doherty is, in my honest opinion, a never-has-been and is ste BUT this action by the police is utterly UTTERLY in line with 21st Century Labour micro-control...

Its outrageous and every outrage nerve in my being is on fire with outrage...

...and it makes the police look like a bunch of right wrs !!

I watched Babyshambles at Reading/Leeds on BBC3 and thought they were quite good.

I didn't hear any changes in tempo, which in turn caused a "whirlpool" effect in the crowd though.

I think they mean a circle pit. Chances of at a one man acoustic gig = 0
