Anyone remember RADIO CAROLINE?
Only just noticed it's 35 years ago today (1967) that the pirate radio ships & forts became illegal - each one closed during the course of that day, until only the two Caroline ships remained on air at mid-night!
Caroline South off Kent & Caroline North off the Isle of Man.
What rebels!
So, raise a glass to the pirate stations - without them society would be somewhat different today:p

No offence intended, just knew you were old enough to remember them;)
I thought the way the law worked was that broadcasting itself wasnt banned but by helping them, giving them records etc, then you were 'aiding and abeting' I maybe wrong though.
But working for them, advertising on them, supplying them etc., became illegal.
In the 70s, Greenpeace used the Rainbow Warrior to supply them with up to 3 months of fuel, water and food at a time - in return for money & free advertising.
