Skyrad 0 #1 August 23, 2007 So once again its time for the worlds second largest Carnival. Yes once again its time for the scum of the earth to gather with the leftys, Afro Carabeans and the niave out of towners and forigeners to gather in west London on the bank holiday weekend for a festival of ragga 'music', over loud distorted sound systems, Red Stripe lager burnt barbequed chicken rice and peas and steel bands. Mix in gangs of muggers, steamers gunmen and knife wielding crack cocaine using killers and you've got the Notting Hill Carnival. Throw in the possibility of psychotic suicide bombers and it makes you wonder who in their right minds would go to such an event. Yet around 2 million are expected to attend the three day event this year. With its track record I guarentee numerous stabbings probable shootings and several rapes. Its time to ban the Notting hill Carnival. In the mean time what is your forcast for the weekends carnage that is the Notting Hill Carnival? http://cps.gov.uk/news/pressreleases/archive/2006/176_06.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/newsid_3615000/3615686.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/uk/899284.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/900747.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/uk/904298.stm http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2145921,00.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=422340&in_page_id=1770 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=388366&in_page_id=1770 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=474279&in_page_id=1770 http://www.londonnet.co.uk/ln/talk/news/archive/2000/sep/headlines_20000904_420.html http://edition.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/08/24/uk.carnival/ To give you an idea: In total there were two murders, 19 stabbings, 69 injuries and 129 arrests among an attendance of 2.5 million at the year 2000 carnival. Carnival crime has been rose 27% in one year dispite attendance being down by 500,000 people from the previous year. Last year there were two murders although I have been unable to get the crime stats for last year as the government doesn't include them in its crime stats. Its time to ban this abonomation.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

CornishChris 5 #2 August 23, 2007 I lived in Bayswater for a few years and would leave town for the weekend during the Carnival. I hate the great unwashed with their fucking whistles blowing all night. This may sound like I am a party pooper or a boring old bastard but until you have experienced it in a place you live you can't understand just how shit it is for 4 days. One year (the first I was there when I didn't realise what I was letting myself in for), I had left my bike at work and went to get it on the Saturday morning. After persuading a PC to let me through the road block I had endless cunts trying to get onto my bike, trying to push it over and hitting me on the head with a variety of objects as I was wearing a crash helmet. Eventually I decided that it wasn't safe to leave my bike there and took it back to my office! I pity the people in Notting Hill this weekend and am pleased I will be in the sky over Oxfordshire!

Skyrad 0 #3 August 23, 2007 I just found this about last years Carnival... QuoteA total of 275 people were arrested during this year's Notting Hill carnival weekend, Scotland Yard confirmed today. The figure, which is 65 per cent up on last year, followed a huge operation involving 10,000 officers from the Met and British Transport Police. Scanners were set up at King's Cross, Baker Street and Brixton tube stations by cops searching for drugs and weapons in a bid to identify troublemakers heading for the west London event, which was attended by an estimated 800,000 revellers. Yesterday, the main day of the carnival, police made 158 arrests, followed by a further nine between midnight and 6am this morning (TUES). There were 108 arrests on Sunday. Four people were arrested for firearms offences, including one man suspected of trying to smuggle a gun into the carnival area. The gun was found by cops operating an automatic number plate registration system at around 6pm on Monday. Officers also held 68 people for drugs offences, and seized large quantities of illegal drugs including cannabis and ecstasy, plus thousands of pounds in cash from suspected dealers. Other arrests included 53 for public order offences, 26 for possessing offensive weapons, 28 for assault, six for robbery and 25 for theft. Chief Inspector Rod Charles, Scotland Yard's spokesman for Carnival, said: "Thousands of people took to the streets over the Bank Holiday weekend to enjoy the spectacle of the 42nd Notting Hill Carnival. "In partnership with our colleagues from British Transport Police, we continued our intelligence led proactive crime operation around the periphery of Carnival to make the event safer by disrupting and deterring criminals from attending. "This was a demanding event for us to police, and I would like to thank all our officers for their hard work and good humour. "To police this event took months of planning, and we have been working closely with our partner agencies behind the scenes to ensure that the Carnival could take place and pass off without any very serious incidents." http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowStory.asp?story=CZ2928460U&rss=true And thats truely scary when you consider this as told by a Policeman who Policed last years Carnival... Quote "You're told or discouraged to be involved with crimes which are not necessarily violent... And so crimes which are non-violent they tend to shy away from.".... Such offences included the taking of drugs and thefts which did not involve violence, he said. The officer said he did not believe that the police team at the carnival, which attracts around 1.5 million visitors, were really in control of events. He said: "Certainly on the second day of the carnival, I would say that it's not in control. We certainly have not got control over the crowds in the latter part of the Bank Holiday Monday. We have lost control then. They are basically controlling what we are doing."... He said he and colleagues felt humiliated by the constraints under which they worked, and that the public were being misled about safety levels. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_52115.htmlWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #8 August 28, 2007 http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20070828/tuk-uk-britain-carnival-fa6b408_2.html Quote Arrests totalled 206 Reported crimes 336. Two people were arrested for attempted murder, while others were arrested for crimes including indecent assault, having an imitation firearm or offensive weapon, criminal damage, possession of drugs, being drunk and disorderly and handling stolen goods. Two shootings and Police didn't even say how many people were stabbed describing it only as 'a small number of people'. Pathethic, what a waste of money and police resources.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #9 August 28, 2007 If we had two shot and several unspecified stabbed in a day in Iraq it would be on the front pages.

billvon 3,173 #10 August 28, 2007 >If we had two shot and several unspecified stabbed in a day in Iraq it >would be on the front pages. Bullshit. It takes dozens of dead in Iraq to make the front pages of anything. Starlet divorces, immoral senators, dogfighting, the latest thing from China that contains lead and pictures from hurricanes are leading nowadays. Take a look at iraqbodycount.org and go to their database; it lists the civilian deaths that happen every day in Iraq. July 9th alone there were 11 different incidents, from a single death to 26 bodies found executed. How many of them made the front page? People are getting tired of hearing about the latest deaths in Iraq, because it's been going on for four years. News sources who want to make money are moving on.

Scoop 0 #11 August 28, 2007 If an event becomes a hub for crime it shouldn't be allowed to continue. Simple as that. Fuck who you upset. Trouble is it would be claimed that the police is institutionally racist for preventing what is basically a black carnival to go ahead. All around the country we are living in the shadow of the McPherson report. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #12 August 29, 2007 You're right, no-one cares about a few dead Iraqi's. I was refering to British soldiers. Our losses in Iraq are still in the numbers where our soldiers make the front page when they're killed. OK, so the two shot were not killed so maybe they'r have made it somewhere inside the paper. Large bombs are reported over here or anything out of the norm in Iraq. Also it depends on which national newspaper. British papers are very different from US papers as I'm guessing you know.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
