I wonder what members think about this; the support services are a good idea, but I don't know about the heavy police presence.

    Phil Batten from Nottingham says: "I don't really think drugs have got a place at a festival."

    "Everyone can have a laugh without them, there's no need for any of that. It is expected but it shouldn't be there's no need - you just need to have a few beers," he adds.

    Absolutely classic!

    Its the idea that all drug users from the occasional spiff to the crack addict are all hardened users who are desperate for help it breaking their addiction I find mystifying. When in reality people with a full blown addiction are very unlikely going to go to a festival like this.

    I thought that...

    and the "there is no need to take drugs... just have a few beers" made me laugh as well!
