An End To Pub Gigs?

signed.

TAX ALERT. My advice would be to simply give false details. More fucking control

Mentioned this MONTHS ago and was ridiculed as paranoid.

In fairness, I think it was just a mid-rant link.

Nice to live in a free country isn't it.

As a wise Scot once said....."I'm not actually paranoid....it's just that you all think I am"

Chris Nash wrote: New Proposition to force licensees to reveal information about performers appearing at their pubs and clubs.

Managers of small venues will be forced to comply with a new piece of bureaucracy called Form 696. It demands that licensees give police a list, including the names, aliases, private addresses and phone numbers of all musicians, DJs and other performers appearing at their venue, and the ethnic background of the likely audience.

Failure to comply could mean the loss of a licence or even a fine and imprisonment.

It will apply in 21 London boroughs, but we fear that if it becomes accepted, it will be copied in other cities.

If you're in the UK, live in a British 'Dependency' or are a British ex-pat, please sign the petition to protest against Form 696 and new bureaucracy which could kill off live music in London and potentially the whole UK.

Please sign the petition on the 10 Downing Street website against Form 696.

Thanks for your support!

It's sneaky,but not sneaky enough....a ridiculous proposition that will be kicked out and won't become law as long as the politicians have a grasp on public opinion.Which is their bread and butter,really. Won't happen if they want to win elections.

Out of interest..Which cheeky Gestapo dickhead,is proposing to pass stuff like this into law?

Chris Nash wrote: They've already got me Steve - MOD records, positive vetting, official secrets act, service record, passport, etc... as they have with all of us.

What puzzles me is that I passed positive vetting up to 'Top Secret' clearance while certain of my 'associates' and far enough back, family members, had Republican connections, plus I'd attended 'anarchist' demonstrations and played alongside bands such as Crass, Conflict and Chumbawamba.

Maybe Government screening isn't that efficient or thorough after all!

Ah well...

FFS, even I have a Home Orrifice clearance.

I think the biggest objection to Party Member Smith's uberbase (beyond some of the very odd data they want to hold on you), is that it'll all be left on the 08:15 Windsor-Wateerloo all-stopping service.

As far as I'm aware the Met are already implementing it AS IF it were law. I seem to recall it has one of The Party's favourite taglines....."it's voluntary, but we will block your license if you don't do it"....a bit like the drug tests in Aberdeen pubs....It's voluntary, but if you say no, you don't get in. Clearly some confusion regarding the concepts of voluntary and mandatory....It's voluntary to have a license to drive.

Did your charm get you anywhere with Durham mate? (always good to know for a sneaky "between you, me, and the call-logger......" bit of advice to a pleasant caller in real need.

HEY! I've got Top secret clearance as well! How about we start our own little super, double secret NO club!

any thoughts on the clubs name?

Yeah, I do, but if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

I'm envious....mine's only counter-terrorist plus a few character checks that don't normally get done for standard CTC.....but you fuckers are Top Secret cleared :(

I've done fuck all about it yet to be honest,but plan to be on a trip to Amsterdam in Feb..I've heard several accounts that the staff in Durham are brilliant and do same day passport replacements if you pop in..Durham is a lovely place to spend the day,also.

Aye, Belfast are the same, Newport too. Not sure about Liverpool and Glasgow, Peterborough can go either way, and London are generally tightasses....but they cannot be blamed, they're just snowed under with walk-ins and chancers.All of them will generally bend over backwards for a pleasant person in genuine need.

Do NOT get snitty with Durham though. From tracking postal applications, it seems they're either done in seconds....or they take WEEKS....no middle ground. I suspect they have a large radiator down the back of which applications can be caused to reside for some time.

I heard tell of a guy who phoned up, wanting the impossible....he'd posted his application, mid summer, needing it back in about 5 days....he'd been told that there was no bloody way unless he came in to an office......but here he was on the phone saying "I sent this 5 days ago, and never got it back and you're all %^&*(*U%^&%'s and I've lost my £STUPID holiday". He literally called everyone who spoke to him the MOST impressive names.....the NI ones were "terrorist bastards", the Canadian supervisor was "an american bitch", and the centre manager (who at the time was a nice Bristolian lady) was a "Yokel Cunt" or somesuch. Eventually he was transfered through to whichever office had his form. About 20mins later, the manager's phone rings..."This is $OFFICE....did you put $TWAT through to us?" ULP! thinks she....they're not happy with us for passing him on....."did he speak to your staff like he did to ours?" There was an exchange of reports on who he had called what. "Well, just to let you know....you've got our authority to block his number, and that in about a week the application form scanner will destroy his form and will be writing to him to request a new one".

They're good people most of them.

But be nice.

You WOULD be better off with an appointment, or at least, lemme know when you're heading in and I'll see how it's looking....obviously if they're booked solid they day you pitch up, sans appointment, they WILL just tell you to fuck off.

We could call it.....

Nool Kite Art

Just to see how long it takes DHS to misinterperet it as Al-Qaeda, and bung everyone with an account here on the no-fly, no-rights list.

Or

The Bass

Just thinking......to get back on topic.......

Can you imagine the submission for a New Order gig........

Expected audience.....Fat, Balding, mindlessly drunk 35-50 year olds wearing hawaian shirts and bermuda shorts. Females, few in number, but far more boisterous.

Ethnic makeup: Mostly, but not exclusively white/pale blue, which is odd as there are rumours they may be Nazis. There may also be scousers.

Music: Probably shite-ish....see any performance by same band in last 7 years.

Not gonna happen is it?

not to sound like a card carrying member of the BNP but do you think that you might have to collect ethnic background so that you make sure you're doing things that cater to different groups? That was my first thought, mostly because that's how a nanny state works :P

I'm sure it will be used to keep all the fake Jamaicans from having too many parties but it could be used the other way too.
