When a million peeps get together it will always attract the nasties. OB were set up to keep some of the gangs apart, thats why around New Cross and Lewisham they were out in numbers.
If people want to have a ye ha good luck to em, i dont wanna pay 4 it though.
Maybe with funding (no dont laugh !) and effort we will get St Georges Day to be such an event.
Was a good day until i stepped on the train at Woolwich group of Youths tried mugging me did not know i had more mates on the other carriage who changed carriages at the dockyard and jopined me they soon got off.
Was racially abused on a side street by a group later in the night on the way back to the tube statio.
My dad goes every year with my little brother and always has a good time. He's never had any trouble and loves it, I've never been but was gonna go this year it was only a very mean hang over that stopped me. I would imagine its very much like a football match that if you want to go and find trouble you will but if you don't you can have a peaceful good time with everyone else.
the difference this year was that the OB went for the strong arm tactics to prove a point about knife and gang crime and rightly so,
this showed a message to the organisors and comunity leaders that look to blame everything that happens to young black men on society and the OB as they have always stated that the police are only looking to arrest at carnival, this year due to the high profile of knife crime they did just that as if to say for years we have neglected to carry out our duties at carnival you need to help us now as this state of affairs that operation tridant is geeting over run with is now escalating out of control,
i have attened carnival on numerous occasions with some great pals and have witnessed things there that should never have been aloud to take place including muggings ,crack smoking and extreemly aggresive behaviour between groups of young black men all in view of ob with exception to the mugging none were dealt with there and then
what i will say is that carnival adds imo to what makes london great and is something everyone should go and see if you are worried go on childrens day never any issues there

Up to 40 people were involved in the clash, which continued for more than two hours, and one officer suffered facial injuries after being hit by a bottle.
Sorry, but if 40 football hooligans were playing up, do you think it would take the OB 2 hours to sort it out?...I think not.
Rothko, if you go back a few weeks threads you will find fishnets and myself, openly big Rangers fans, condemning the actions of the neds in Manchester, so why do you persist in this constant digging?
Just one small thing...every year they say....so many hundred thousand attended the carnival....well in all honesty they are just about the same folk going every day of course, so you could probably reduce the number of folk that actualy 'went' to something like 40% of the figure given....so it's a bit misleading when you come to think about it.
DA9, from what i can see Rothko's digging is largely in response to what's becoming constant personal snipes from Fishnets, most of which i have to waste time deleting out. Its f***ing boring on all counts.
Fishy, i would remind you of 'the rules' but i know you are fully aware of them :-)

Will they get Carnival Banning Orders Worldwide?

Does it count if you were wrongfully arrested?

you'd have to put it to the masses posting on here to see if they agree I think!
A total of 488 arrested were made during the event - 330 in the Notting Hill area and 158 around Oval.
Knives, a Taser gun, CS spray and a baseball bat were among the weapons seized
