Notting Hill Carnival

[Brandyboy]

Eight stabbings on Monday evening alone. 275 arrests for various offences, attacks on the police, possession of drugs and offensive weapons, sexual assault and on and on.

And all this in a residential area of London.!!

Par for the course

Unfortunately an event enjoyed by a massive amount of people proves to be a magnet for scumbags intent on causing mayhem.

I think the festival should have its route and duration reduced.

Unfortunately it will get worse, undesirables, drug dealers,
Thieves etc are increasing in numbers.
There's no decent deterrent, punishments don't fit the crime any more, a slap on the wrist when caught is no deterrent. It's worth the risk.

Well as Lincoln45 said, it's par for the course and the police seemed to have it under control, when they're not dancing.

All this happened on the final day and seems to have been orchestrated.

And as I said all this in a residential area of London and it seems to get worse every year.

As usual there a calls to have it banned and I think it should. It's run it's course now.

They wouldn't dare ban it. The race card would come flying out at the first mention of banning it.

Yes I was reluctant to mention that.
