I love how 30 years later, everyone is like "Those acid house parties were historic" and no one is like, "Boy, its a good thing the cops and politicians were able to stop the scourge of acid house." I think history has shown who won.

.That was the Thatcher regime's answer to everything they didn't like: Step 1, slander said thing: Step 2, make it illegal, Final Step: call it a criminal conspiracy. She did it to the Irish hunger strikers, to the mine strikers, to trade unions, any service which refused to privatize, and the poll tax protesters.

[@blank-dr2kx]

2:12 HAHA as if the believe this 🤣

[@octaviussludberry9016]

Ironic that Granada Reports correspondent, Tony Wilson, or Anthony H Wilson as he became known (pretentious twat), fuelled a lot of these parties with his music production and the bands he promoted or at least the scene.

[@christopherbrookfield4785]

Tony Wilson was a legend in his own lifetime and had a very positive influence on new music and youth culture. The world is a darker place without him in it. Same with John Peel. RIP. 💔

[@octaviussludberry9016]

@@christopherbrookfield4785 Peel yes, Wilson...no. He was a manipulative cunt, only interested in himself and money.

[@stringzoflife]

Mountain out of a mole hill if ever there was one.

[@urbanwarrior3470]

cracking memories....

[@derekwilkinson688]

Sweet memories, music, dancing, people, and er drugs, lots of em

[@lucasm3879]

Well dance culture gew.. but the government banned raves with the CJB, so it became 'clubbing' and made more acceptable, but even that is being slowly squeezed out with so many clubs closing. Dance festivals aren't the same either, everything has a curfew now, they all finish about 11pm apart from Glastonbury.

[@liamregan3096]

Yeah but we didn't half have a laugh

[@johnmodel500]
