Court Injunction Stops EF! Midsummer Gathering
Well here's the explanation for all of you that thought about turning up but heard that it was cancelled, and especially to those of you that turned up and had to go home again. Unfortunately, the organisers were under the impression that we live in a country that upholds it own laws to protect freedom and democracy; how wrong they were.
The authorities had managed to convince the landowner, who is deaf and in his seventies, that he would be fined £20,000 and spend up to 2 years in prison if he didn’t withdraw his permission; they had no legal leg to stand on. Don't you just feel so safe at night with people like these in positions of power??
A court injunction killed the chance of it happening on another site. It rained all weekend anyway.
