Surrey Squat Party Police Turn Ravers Into Thought Criminals

Surrey Police launched an Orwellian-style surveillance operation against free party revellers this week, threatening partygoers with arrest and prosecution if they're so much as spotted in the vicinity of suspected raves in Surrey.

The police reportedly spent the whole of last summer painstakingly taking down details of suspicious car number plates they spotted outside raves, and this week started writing to the vehicle owners telling them to stay away on pain of arrest.

"Surrey Police operates a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal rave gatherings," Assistant Chief Constable Mark Rowley explained to local website surreyonline.com.

"Surrey Police will actively discourage, disrupt and act to stop all illegal raves within the county."

One notorious raver who could be at risk is Prince Harry's old friend The Honourable Nicholas Knatchbull, who was outed by the News of the World last weekend as the person who first turned the Prince onto pot (when Harry was just 14).

The tabloid revealed that the '22 year old junkie and godson of Prince Charles' (who's also 540th in line to the throne) is currently fighting cocaine, LSD and ketamine addiction in a halfway house, after engaging in 'sickening drug abuse at squalid squat parties all over London."

"One night he was so off his face (high- drugs ed) I discovered him in a (squat party) bathroom having sex with another man," Knatchbull's ex-girlfriend Jessica Hay told the paper.

"He couldn't even remember it later. It makes me so sad- not only has he messed himself up but he has introduced (Prince) Harry to something, too."

Miss Hay didn't say if Harry had attended any of the squalid squat parties.
