A Notting Hill Carnival without at least one stabbing is considered a dull affair.

There’s a clip on Twitter where a Sky News reader reels of the stats, arrests, knives confiscated, one person stabbed, and then signs off by saying it’s been peaceful. All very amusing.

They need to have a counter for stabbings or murders and people should place odds. It’s getting ridiculous at this point.

Funny how they don’t reveal the background of the perp but we always get told whether they have a penis.
Surely the woke thing to do would be to refer to them as “person”

BBC might need a keyboard shortcut for that statement

>She added that in the past two years, one person had been killed, 14 others had been stabbed and more than 125 police officers had been assaulted.
>About 500 arrests were made at the carnival during those two years.
Indefensible. If 125 coppers have been assaulted, imagine how many normal people also get assaulted. I can tell you from experience, it’s rife. London is an absolute sewer.

Although considering just how massive the event is it’s probably not that bad overall, I think we are reaching a breaking point here about Carnival. It’s too big. Too many people. Too much chaos.
I think it needs to be scaled down, it needs to be tackled like football hooliganism was with various laws and regulations. It probably needs to be a ticketed event.
It will ruffle a lot of feathers but it’s either that or you kill it off completely.
I’m sure it brings in a decent amount of money though, more than enough to cover the extra policing and cleaning costs so it will be tolerated until it doesn’t.

Two million people are there.
All walks of life.
Is there even a hundred thousand in your miserable little town?
Think about that before you get the dog whistle out.
The highlight of your weekend is driving your tacky little car to Halfords and getting a drive-through Greggs.

Was this the kid friendly carnival I was told about by this sub earlier?
