The government is banning 'hippy crack', otherwise known to decent "hard working people" like you and I as laughing gas, or NOS. That's it, no more balloons at the end of the night guys.

Lots of people are pissed off about it and when people are collectively pissed off they get together and shout a bit. To that end, there's been a protest organised for June 27 – expect lots of milling about, silver canisters absolutely everywhere and the constant "tssssh" of nitrous oxide being released.

So if you fancy a group gas, save the date and head for Parliament Square at 3pm. Writing on the event's Facebook page, the organisers said: "We should be free to buy, sell and use whatever substances we want, so long as we do so responsibly and without harming others. These are our bodies, and it should be up to us what we do with them. Don't let the government tell you what you can and can't do with your own body. Join us in Parliament Square on Saturday 27th June. We stand with other groups that have used similar slogans, including campaigners for sexual and reproductive rights. #mybodymydecision"
