Notting Hill Carnival

But Hugh grant and Julia Roberts were white

MARVELLOUS PUFF DARKY!

So how many stabbings have not been reported by the bbc the year ?

if you go to any music festival like glastonbury and latitude it's mostly white music for white people

But do you get as much robbing, stabbing and arrests as you do at Notting Hill?

Don't be silly, Billy.

The usual suspects still seething.

A police officer was injured when he was attacked while on duty at the Notting Hill Carnival in west London.

The Metropolitan Police said the officer was in hospital after a serious assault at the junction of Lancaster Road and St Luke's Road.

His condition is not life-threatening but it is understood he was unconscious at some stage, the force said.

The annual two-day celebration is said to be Europe's largest street party.

The Metropolitan Police deployed 7,000 officers for Monday's event, 1,000 more than on Sunday.

There had been 115 arrests for a variety of offences by 17:00 BST on Monday.

Among those were 39 arrests over drugs, 11 for common assault and seven for possession of offensive weapons.

All fibs!!

The Notting Hill carnival is a wonderful event where people from all walks of life, enjoy themselves with non stop fun and laughter.

Fun is what the carnival is all about, where families and people of all ages can safely enjoy themselves over the two days in a crime and trouble free atmosphere.

No doubt the people who have never been outside of their local country town will suddenly appear, and say how dare you all knock the greatest street party in the world.

I had to feel very sorry for them in all that rain

Where's the thunder and lightning when you need it most.

Akabula, that is not nice.

Dewey, that is very nice.

@Diva I just thought it would make a lovely backdrop for all that singing and dancing and violence.

akabula - Singing and Dancing mainly - violence probably no worse than anywhere else these days.

There is no violence at all where I live.
None.
Zilch.
Nada.

It's why families like us moved out of London.

It's been allowed to get way out of hand. Should be reeled in now with limits put on it.

LONDON is a s***hole, never lived there but when I've been I couldn't wait to leave, it's like the third world in East london which the locals have branded BANGLA CITY, England is no longer English, its a dumping ground, muslims are slowly taken over and everyone is too s hit scared to admit it, can't believe the Asian Tory girl left though, shot herself in the foot there after getting her foot in the door

Have to say this though, the Asians are very hard workers, go in a job centre and they are the ones working the black and whites are the ones signing on, although the women do breed like rabbits and claim on the sly

back to london, if you live there you should aspire to leave there any way you can it's not a place to bring up kids, the country life is a good life, spain is the perfect life, full of English ex pats to help you settle in and the kids grow up with a very outdoorsy lifestyle whilst knowing two languages

I've never lived in London - I live in a beautiful part of the West Country - nearest city is not void of violence - isn't that the same everywhere......Man who beheaded British woman in Tenerife denies murder- http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/18/jennifer-mills-westley-murder-t... me off going there anyway!

that was just a phucking schizo, you can find them anywhere, they genuinely hear voices in their head, these mental illnesses I put down to FOOD and the shyte they put in it, messes up peoples brain chemistry, look at the brain, that is one complicated looking organ that not even experts fully understand, it's not something to mess with, how many people 100 years ago before the capitalist bar stewards in the food industry got their hands on people health, were being diagnosed with this that and the other, psychosis, depression etc, FOOD is killing people and this is what needs to be taught in schools NUTRITION, not spunking way hours and hours and hours learning about so fat bloated randy king and his six wifes and then being told learning this pointless shyte makes you a more ROUNDED INDIVIDUAL

I feel sorry for people with mental health problems and I blame FOOD.

acquiesce - as much as I agree with some of your points - I do think you need chill out a bit......sounds like you're a bit obsessed -  even a little bit disturbed.......

acquiesce makes a fair point

i feel slightly whoopee some days

Coachbuster - it's o.k. just remeber to try very hard to get a grip now and again.

i need a bottle a day to keep a grip

Notting Hill Carnival no worse than anywhere else

3 stabbings
2 policemen injured
261 arrests
in just 2 days of 'fun'

violence probably no worse than anywhere else these days.

Where I live now there was an arrest and conviction for burglary in 2004, the year before I moved here, and a teenager got a caution for graffiti in 2005. That's the whole crime record for our village for a decade.

Ask any ex-east Londoners if they would move back.
