"There is an element of big brother about it, but it will make sure 
no-one is hurt. It is needed to enable people's safety and ensure a 
genuinely fun clubbing experience.
"I can understand if some people complain about it but I would rather 
use Draconian measures and make sure everybody is safe

yes, noone noone, this further shows that Little Britain has become a 
paternalistic and patronising nation-state,
this episode seems symptomatic, and if you'd allow me some abstract 
thought, would only lead to more repressed violence in the middle and 
long-term.
A translator friend of mine, when discussing British excess of 
regulations concerning every issue of daily life, said: "That is why 
they (young British visitors) break every rule when they come down to 
Ibiza and here they behave as they do". Well, from an insider point of 
view, this will certainly not harm local life. But ... increased need of 
control, why? this further shows that "father" ("pater-nalistic") is 
becoming insane. Why? US-like policies being applied? i don't know,

the above may not sound gentle enough, nor grateful enough, coming from 
a non British person (myself, amparo), but what the hell, sometimes one 
manages to think, and compare.


By the way, but completely another issue: The Sheffield Gazette reports 
that thousands of pounds have been awarded to a Burngreave writing fund, 
very recently. Sorry can't find the paper issue right now. Also, a woman 
has been chronicling Burngreave life for the last 3 years, her picture 
appears on paper.

Nice to hear again from you
