‘The media regularly portrayed the festivals as sordid and filthy, distorting isolated events of discord into an image of rampaging hippie terror, filling the hearts of little Englanders with fear and discomfort.’

‘In the turbulent times we’re living through today, it’s important to appreciate how previous generations coped and remained creative throughout political turmoil and state oppression,’ he added.
‘The legacy of the festivals of yore should be an inspiration for today’s youth to stand up and fight back through peaceful protest, creating a brighter future, reclaiming the counterculture once more.’
