You are spamming me as usual, LordBlagger, as you spam for the sake of it.

You care very much about spamming, as you scream that people who are not in your far right are mentally ill, as usual, as you shill for the right to annoy people with your noise as much as you want.

You posted to me on this stand, using the alias “guest” although the name leon wolfeson, your alias, appears as the poster in my timeline, so I am responding to you leon. I urge you to reach out for help. There are people who care you know.

You’re confusing your life, designed to annoy people, with Soho.

The “change in attitude” you’d cause would be for councils to be faced with a barrage of complaints about entertainment venues, and strong opposition to any entertainment licence – certainly all new ones would face major rallies.

There is actually some excellent academic research from America looking at what the city of Omaha did which shows there is a clear positive economic value in nurturing a thriving music scene and that it can actually drive urban regeneration.

There are a couple of very simple steps that could be taken to support music venues. However for them to even be considered there needs to be a reappraisal by local authorities of the value that live music venues bring to an area – not only financially, but culturally too and in terms of making an area desirable for people to live and do business there…. Too often this is misunderstood or ignored for a more immediate return.

1) Adopt the ‘agent of change’ principle which has been successfully introduced in Victoria, Australia. Essentially it means that the onus on soundproofing venues, etc., would have to fall on any developer looking to build flats in proximity to an existing live music establishment. It’s a simple, common sense approach which our current planning laws seem to lack.

2) Extend the policy introduced at a development next to the Ministry of Sound to all future projects. This means that any residents sign away any legal right to complain about noise from one of London’s most famous clubs. Boris actually brokered this (and good on him for doing so), but it clearly should be applied to all music venues across the capital.

The above two points, coupled with a change in attitude from local authorities would ensure that our music venues, clubs and pubs are able to continue to operate without ‘unnatural’ pressures from new residents or property developers.
