Last but not least: The Internet protects better than any pitchfork

English farmers are fed up with their fields mutating into festival grounds every summer. Their new weapon against musical and narcotic debauchery: The Internet. Before a drug orgy is celebrated in the remote barn or the favorite cows are tipped over by unscrupulous youths and the green pasture is transformed into the scene of the Goa party of the century, the British government recommends reaching for the mouse rather than the pitchfork.
Landowners and farmers are being advised to inspect networking websites such as Myspace to find out where illegal parties are being planned, according to the Times Online. Following the model of a secret service, the dirty investigators are to collect and share information and flyers on the internet, in pubs and at other dubious events such as outdoor village dances or fairgrounds.
Of course, it will not be possible to prevent every party, so relativization and thinking are required. Following the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them", the jokers among the farmers can simply join in the party and the more commercially savvy agronomists can sell home-grown magic herbs and fungi. And if anyone has any of the miracle stuff left over, they can sell it on e-bay.
