agree with that completly.
its more the london scene that went bad and there are still good 'free parties' which i always thought of being the outside events...dodgy gangs and crack heads arent as willing to go out of london to some field so its stayed alive through them.
some sort of collective 'policing' within the squats would improve them....a sort of you watch my back i watch yours attitude...nothing militant, just the sort of attitude we all have...just should practice it more....if the scene matters that much to you do something about it.
