“If you are there on a Wednesday when we kick 1,200 students out at 3am … fairly drunk, let’s face it … it’s pretty disruptive and that noise goes on for 45 minutes.”

Ministry of Sound CEO Lohan Presencer argues against building some new flats next to his club. Southwark council say build it anyway, and if you move in and the students wake you up, it’s your own fault. Town planning is hard. [Via SE1]
