What a day!

Despite the best efforts of the whore police of Babylon to fuck up proceedings, why - they pulled in officers from other forces instead of relying on the more rural local force - maybe some of these goons were city types more used to busting heads at the first sign of rowdy fun or maybe they gave them a flashing of ELF from Menwith's arrays, just to make them feel anxious and irritable and to rip off their numbers in order to avoid being identified.
poor shit policing - even the horses were jumpy and frisky.
Still - even with this - the event taking place in beautiful sunshine had a sheer good energy which for a moment depressed the malevolent energy of one of the most obscene energy centres in the country - as imposed by the powers that be.
