Proving that they couldn't organise a piss up in a park the festival Stokefest has been cancelled due to the near legendary incompetence of Hackney Council.
Immortalised in the classic techno anthem 'Hackney Council are a Bunch of Cunts' it seems the bungling bureacrats have let down Hackney residents again. According to today's Hackney Gazette dipstick council officials forgot to apply for the necessary licence leaving the festival unable to go ahead and hundreds of local volunteers having wasted hours of their time.
Organisers are now hoping to re-schedule the event in September which should leave enough time for the muppets at Hackney Council to get their act together.
The statement on the Stokefest website reads
'Stokefest06 will not be taking place on Sunday 11th June 2006 as planned, because Hackney Council does not have a premises licence in place for Clissold Park.
Open Source Productions, the festival organisers, are looking for alternative dates in September. We would like to thank all the volunteers, artists, businesses and community organisations for their hard work and continued support.
Please check back on this website for continued updates.'
Which is more charitable than is deserved.
