The carnival, which has been held since 1966, is the latest in a string of summer calendar events to have been postponed, including the Glastonbury Festival and the Tokyo Olympics.
The BBC seem to have it on Par with the Olympics Mass Drug arrests and stabbings Does that happen at the Olympics ?? |

Talking of the BBC i was astounded this morning when they announced manager of the season award and named Emma Hayes as woman manager of the year BEFORE announcing Klopp as Premier manager of the year.You can see where their priorities lie.

There are more people who attend the Notting Hill carnival live in the streets
than there are who at any one time are attending the Olympics It's not rocket science! |

1 million compared to 100,000 at a guess

The BBC are supporting female sports as it will result in less hospital usage at the NHS in the long run if women are fitter ..... I'm sure we all want to pay less taxes don't we?

Normally go away for the Carnival Weekend like many residents. Last year stayed for the Saturday morning just to have a look round before the crowds and it was rather pleasant without the people. The drive back to the country was as memorable as it gets. Flintoff at Headingley!

lets hope it's part of "The new normal"

I would think the normal Notting Hill carnival go-ers will not put up with it being banned and will carry on regardless…… I predict a riot!

This must be the single wonderful thing that Coronavirus has done for the world, and about time too.
This annual Carnival of Rampant Crime has no place in any supposed decent society. Along with Ed Davey hilariously and tragically fasting for Ramadan (plus those lower down then Liberal Party food chain) this must be the Happiest News Story of 2020 to date. |

There are so many Police there that you feel totally safe.

2019's "no trouble at all" equated to a trifling 353 arrests, that's for offences the police could actually be bothered pursuing. They tend not to worry about the widespread urinating and defecating in the streets.
. https://www.cityam.com/metropolitan-police-arrest-353-people-during-notting-hill-carnival-2019/ Meanwhile, 2018's "no trouble at all" equated to 370 arrests . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45328043 2017's "no trouble at all" figures were smaller only because the police had acted sensibly in advance of the Crime Carnival. Allah alone knows how many more violent offences might otherwise have occurred during the weekend. . https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2017/aug/29/notting-hill-carnival-arrests-down-after-controversial-crackdown |

This must be the single wonderful thing that Coronavirus has done for the world, and about time too. I think seeing blue skies and breathing in fresh air was quite nice. Seeing the waters clear in Venice was wonderful and cities around the Workd being clear if smog was pretty wonderful too. How terrible it must be to live a life through someone like alun’s eyes  |

By:
Agree Alun, cancelling the crime carnival has saved lives and millions of taxpayers money, it should have been banned years ago. lets hope its the new Norm

It is what it is. It's inevitable, but correct decision. Most residents in that neighbourhood will probably rejoice; 2031 perhaps.
