Parklife boss threatening Home Office with court over on-site drug testing

Parklife boss Sacha Lord threatening Home Office with court action over on-site drug testing

Sacha Lord, the boss of Parklife and the Warehouse Project, has threatened the Home Office with legal action over drug testing at festivals and clubs.

That connection is unsustainable.”

“I’m not going to let this one go. I don’t care how much it costs. If it saves one person’s life as a bare minimum, we’re just going to carry on with it.
