Saturday night in South London
Hundreds of young people are gathering for the latest craze
An acid house party in a disused warehouse
Coaches will take them to a destination which is deliberate kept secret to avoid the police

Wait, where you think you're going to?
- Must be told. We don't know, it's like mistery (that's the mistery of acid)
-This is Acid, man
This is Acid, maaaaaaaaan....

But it was only a party in a peaceful setting of Sevenoaks in Kent
Which led to the most controversial policing so far
A raid on an Acid House party ended in violence and led to over 20 formal complains against the police
At midnight about 60 policeman arrived, a group of them burst into search for drugs
It was alleged but none of the group were in police uniform

The first thing I saw, well, what I prepared to be was a bunch of hooligans coming charging through the door
With big black sticks flailing in the air shouting: "Get on the f-ing floor you lowlifes!"
-The people, that didn't get on the floor immediately were just beaten on the floor, beaten to the floor
It was incredible, incredibly mindless violence
-They were beating me as they took now, they weren't just roughly handling me and any other policeman
That passed on the way, were taking a good sort of potluck punch of me aswell
-They were manic in there, it just terrified me and everybody who was there was really frightened

Wait, where you think you're going to?
- Must be told. We don't know, it's like mistery (that's the mistery of acid)
-This is Acid, man. This is Acid...
This is Acid, man. This is Acid (repeated)
