The Last Ever Tube Party…

Well, at last for now. The election of Boris over Ken has an incoming ban on drinking on the Tube starting Jun 1 2008.

Boris thinks he can do something about criminality and hooliganism in London based on New York’s example of apparent success with broken window theory zero tolerance enforcement. Personally, I’m as skeptical of this as the ubiquitous and largely useless CCTV everywhere here in London, but the ban will be law 1st of June so the People are planning one last hurrah on the neverending loop that is the Circle Line on the 31st of May (though I do think banning alcohol on the metro is a good idea, as the people who seem to indulge in the liberty tend towards intimidating and berating their other passengers). Nevertheless, a party is a totally different animal, so…

Details for the facebook viral are here.

And yep, planning to be there barring the usual chaos that is my life. A bit ironic since I’ve never had a drink on the Tueb in my entire life, but hey… I do like the idea of sipping champagne on the metro.

Partypeople of London!

Come one, come all, lend us your ears – this one’s a bit special..

So Boris has been elected, and he’s banning drinking on the underground. Fair enough you might think. No more being harassed by crazies. But it also means no more last drink before the club, no more champagne frolics at new year’s and no more tanked up Aussie guys singing.

First a smoking ban, now a drinking ban, what’s next?

But we’re not giving in so easily! No no Monsieur. We’re organising one last party, one high-glamour, weird-ass shindig on the circle line to royally give the finger to Big Brother and this culture of legislation and regulations. What’s more, we’re holding it on the night before the drinking ban! Vive la revolucion!
