+++ CCHQ Denies Dave was the Raver +++

Dave the Rave

UPDATE : Guido has now spoken to Tamzin Lightwater, she said she had done her due diligence and showed Dave the pictures. He told her it wasn’t him.  Guido asked had Dave ever been to a rave.  She didn’t think so.  Well, if you can remember, you weren’t really there….

    From The Mirror-on-line

    “Gordon Brown has urged the whole country to fly the flag for national Armed Forces Day.

    The Prime Minister called on schools, families and businesses to display a specially-designed standard for the first annual celebration on June 27.

    The £10 flag, which measures 5ft by 3ft, has the Union Jack as its top half, while the bottom half is white, with “Armed Forces Day” inscribed in blue.

    A proportion of the price will go to the military children’s charity.

    Mr Brown unveiled the new flag during his visit to Afghanistan, where he praised UK troops’ “professionalism and bravery”.

    Words fail me, for the first time in a long time, well not since the World Cup in Argentina

      With Mr Brown standing next to him, Mr Tusk said that one of the main reasons Poland has so far managed to avoid the ravages of the credit crisis was because Warsaw had “efficient supervision to banks and sticking to the rules…. not exaggerating with living on credit. These are the most certain ways of avoiding [the consequences] of financial crisis.”

      Doubtless though, in his own fucked-up head, he had a very productive few days and the photographs to prove it. His autobiography after Labours election annihilation will be the biggest load of moonshine in history. Just watch. It’ll be filled with photos of himself with all these world leaders that he’s been so assiduously collecting followed by the wise words of Chairman Brown. The fucking monologues and helpful articles and reading lists that he left for, in his fucked-up condescending head, the less intelligent leaders of these third world powers.

      It is my fervent hope that the bidding for the rights to his self-proclaimed biography of the millenium will be a Dutch auction beginning at fuck all pounds and he’ll have to pay a vanity publisher to print it.

    It’s Cameron alright. I was with him that day. We were just back from working in Hong Kong when we got a call from a mate about this acid party. We went down out of curiosity more than anything else. Both of us were into cocaine at the time – there was alot of it out in HK – and Extacy was a bit of unknown quantity. At £25 a go it wasnt cheap either!

    Anyway we had a good time – in fact I got quite into it all and went to many raves such as Back To The Future, Energy, Raindance, Spectrum, some night at The Astoria and ended up at few new traveller parties a few years later such as Spiral Tribe and Bedlam. Its a misonception that if you are into drugs such as Extacy, LSD and Speed that you turn into some right on hippy. Parties and politics dont mix.

    Dave’s wife was into raves as well. It’s really not suprising – anyone with a sense of spirit and adventure who was around 20 years old sometime between the years of 1988 and 1992 would have more than likely attended a rave and taken Extaxcy. If they didn’t…they missed out!

    Extasy is a good, good drug. At those raves
    everyone wood b ‘on one’ (get sorted! Get
    on one!) and the collective bliss out could b
    genuinely cosmic and seemingly life
    changing…but of course not everyone takes
    the dream forward and starts living a
    genuinely positive auspicous life. People ’sell
    out’ and forget.. And become brain dead
    fascist pervs. Like David is today. Lets hope
    he remembers.

    The only problem being no actual ravers as
    such! Its not the same these days anyway -

Christ, I can remember being violently accosted by some foul mouthed thug in a tit helmet as I was leaving Sunrise vs Back To The Future at Longwick that resulted in my arrest.

      Your comment that people ’sell out and forget’ is fucking ridiculous as well. The thing about taking Extacy in a field is, as fun as it is to begin with, it gets bloody boring after a few years.

      That’s not to say, however, that when I find myself at my desk in the office I will not occasionaly drift back to some other era when I was dancing like a loon in a field off the M25.

      It actually amuses me how conventional my life is on the surface and how fucking deviant it is on the inside. I’ve smoked crack in the House Of Lords, jacked up heroin in the pavillion of the MCC and wiped my cock on a curtain in Buckingham Palace. But you carry on with your revoloution in the outter fucking Hebredies.

      Fucking hippie.
