British cops spotted a Facebook message from a small-town guy who announced an "all-night" party at his house -- a BBQ to celebrate his birthday -- and so they scrambled an armed, helicopter-borne Delta force in body armor to break up the event under Britain's Draconian anti-rave laws. The party had 15 people at it, eating hamburgers.

When I was travelling across Europe, I got a lot of questions about whether I would visit the UK. My answer was, and still is, that I’m not setting foot in Britain until they calm down and stop being quite so crazy. This is the sort of stuff I mean when I say crazy.
