egg Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 The Notting Hill Carnival needs to be shut down. Although there's less stabbings and assaults on police this year, they happen every year at this event. Normal people don't go to a carnival to stab people or beat up coppers. Enough already for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Another stabbing and just the 145 arrests today in the event which showcases the best of our multicultural society “Notting Hill Carnival is a vibrant testament to the power of unity and the celebration of our shared humanity. It is a festival that breaks down barriers, builds bridges and showcases the very best of our multicultural society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) 8 hours ago, pingpong said: Sounds lower than usual, could starmers tough stance already be paying off? Just the 8 stabbings in, total alongside numerous other offences. It sounds horrendous to be honest. It seems like the Notting Hill Carnival is basically an prgy of crime and an excuse for a significant number to just go out and commit loads of crimes. If it wasn't billed as diversity is our strength carnival etc you'd have to think it would have been banned a long time ago. It's not acceptable.

Over 1 million people attended Europe’s biggest street party. If the same numbers attended the FA Cup Final it is highly likely the crime figures would be similar. There are idiots who go to the NHC who are up for trouble just as there are at football matches. People get assaulted and sometimes stabbed at football matches. People get stabbed walking down the street or in schoolrooms. The carnival is not the problem. Football is not a problem. Some of the people who attend these events are the problem.

Lord Duckhunter Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Even if no arrests were made and there were no stabbings, the thing shouldn’t be in the streets. Fucking rubbish left everywhere, people taking a dump in gardens, ugly fat birds shaking their booty, horrendous. It’s more like fetish week in Gran Canaria than a Caribbean carnival. Is Notting Hill even a Caribbean area anymore, more hipster twats I’d imagine. Move the fucking thing to some controlled outdoor venue, and let them get on with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there's less stabbings and assaults on police this year, they happen every year at this event. Normal people don't go to a carnival to stab people or beat up coppers. Enough already for me. Peter Bleksley has suggested ticketing it, which might be the compromise option. Not sure it needs to be moved to Hyde Park which would unnecessarily gentrify it, but certainly people coming to carnivals with for example stun guns is not normal or acceptable. You wouldn’t get those into Glastonbury. The Met cordon area is safe from what I gather but the edges of it can be more dangerous. Residents would get free entry and keep ticket costs modest but it would help beef up security and toileting to reduce residential defecation.

ecuk268 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I see that the sentencing of a 12-year-old boy charged for 2 counts of disorder in Manchester, has been delayed because his mum has gone off to Ibiza. "The judge thanked the boy's uncle for accompanying his nephew to court in his mother's absence, but added: "One day before the hearing we find out the mum has gone on holiday and is not with her son who played a greater part in the recent civil disorder than any adult or child I've seen coming through these courts. "...I will require a full explanation from mum on her decision to go on holiday one day before her 12-year-old son comes to court facing a potential custodial sentence". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
