Hard House Rave Shut Down After Being Mistaken For BNP Rally

Police in Preston have been left red faced after closing down a hard house rave under the mistaken belief that the gathering of 300+ hard house fans was in fact a race hate rally held by the British National Party.

“We had reports of loud harsh music coming from a warehouse on the outskirts of the city,” explained Chief Inspector Ronald Barking of the Preston Police. “When we arrived on the scene we noticed a lot of souped up Volkswagen Golf GTi’s with spoilers, garish colours and Max Power stickers on the back windscreen so naturally assumed that we’d come across a British National Party rally.”

Police say upon entering the building they ascertained that a BNP or possibly UKIP hate rally was taking place based on the number of aggressive looking white people with bad teeth and shaved heads.

“The only other place you’d find that kind of sweaty intensity, Pringle shirts and sovereign rings would be at a BNP rally,” continued C.I. Barking who says that they only managed to shut the event down after fighting off a rabid British bulldog who he claims was manning the stacks. “Upon entering a room like that and seeing the people there you’d be hard pressed to think it was anything other than an ultra right wing rally and that’s why we acted to close it down.”

C.I. Barking claims that although they were mistaken in closing down the hard house rave he believes that most of those present probably are members of an ultra nationalist group because “they look the type who’d be racist”.

“We was only here for a bit of a bounce,” claimed event organiser John Parrish. “Just because we like hard house, wear sovereigns and walk around in bomber jackets with the Union Jack emblazoned on em doesn’t mean that we’re some ultra right wing racist thugs. Although in saying, that we are proud members of the British National Party members and do think that all of England’s problems can be blamed on immigrants like my Irish parents were.”

“This is a disgrace. We’ve been forced to shut down all because of some copper’s prejudiced stereotyping against white people with shaved heads,” he continued, claiming that it’s not fair to think that all white people with shaved heads and bomber jackets are automatically part of a racist gang. “Nobody should be judged arbitrarily on the type of music that they like or that they’ve a shaved head or which racial group they want to hate for unfounded prejudiced reasons. That’s not right.”

Since the incident police have apologised to the hard house ravers and insist that in the future they’ll exercise caution when stereotyping music genres but warn that people who are into dance music are probably “drug taking career criminals anyway” and that you “can only trust those polite folk music fans cause at least they were born here”.
