That should not play a factor.Please explain how that did play a factor. I don't see anyone claiming it did, or anyone claiming it should have. The reasons given for continuing the concert after hours are thus:
1) Everyone there wanted it.
2) They weren't annoying anyone.
3) Anyone who could have been annoyed were either there (and therefore able to leave) or in residential properties that were well out of earshot of the concert (and probably more disturbed by the traffic).
Quote:I object to the attitude of the fans thinking "fuck everyone else".They didn't have that attitude. This was a Saturday night; it was barely 11pm. It was in the middle of one of the largest parks in London. The surrounding area is commercial and noisy most of the time, especially on Saturday nights. There is literally no reason not to continue the concert.
If you are on a deserted road in the middle of the night speeding, and a cop pulls you over, even the cop might thing "no harm no foul". But what is the point of laws if we cherry pick which ones we obey?
