Pulling the plug while a telecaster and a Beatle share the same stage... coincidence?  :?

Westminster Council claim it wasn't them, they said it was the people running the festival who owned the license for the event. Probably a move to get rid of any potential negative attention.

I bet if they over ran, Westminster Council would have fined them or something. All these 'celebs' (boris johnson / piers morgan) calling the organisers 'jobsworths' just want to seem like they are connected in some way to popular culture when they are in fact vapid hypocritical morons that would have complained along with all the people living in the houses around the park about the noise at night just like every other killjoy they appear to be mouthing off at.

And almost exactly what I thought when Johnson came out with that quote. Easy to shout about what you would have been done AFTER the event.

Just as well Guns and Roses hadn't been billed to headline - they never would have made it onstage in time before the power was cut.

Petty, heartless and pedantic I am, but those are not the reasons why Westminster Council should be praised!

Mactw@t should have been shot at birth, and anyone with a telecaster deserves what they get, provided what they get is really, really horrible.
