Hijacking Mayday (with pics)

Last night's Mayday street party, organised by the Spacehijackers, saw around 300 people dancing till darkness outside the Bank of England.







An uncharacteristically hands off police presence ensured the event stayed peaceful and so far there have been no reported arrests.

Four sound systems were in attendance playing everything from dirty techno to Bob Marley and the diverse and frankly up for it crowd were still dancing at 10pm.

It was an event very diferent from past Maydays and it's possible the politics became a little lost amongst the revelry, but it was a fine party and we say there's nothing wrong with that.

Lot's of those present were calling for it to become a weekly event.
