Surprised there were arrests for class B drugs and laughing gas. Unless these are combined with other offences?
Come on, you’ve seen ‘Notting Hill’ the film – you know what it’s like!
/s (just in case)
Today is the more stabby of the two days.
Looks like it would free up a lot of time if we legalized drugs 🤔
Obviously crime is bad but the fact they don’t release crime stats for any other festivals publicly but they do for this makes it pretty clear what the intention is imo. When it comes to stabbing, sexual offences or weapons that’s fair but possession of class B drugs, class A drugs Nitrous Oxide I could guarantee you will find more of that at festivals where they don’t publicly release the numbers like this, (also probably the sexual offences.)
I’d be interested in these stats if they were also produced for all the festivals that happen in and around London too…
What’s wrong with people that they would assault an emergency worker
At what point does this carnival get moved to a ticketed arena or a park where they can perform searches of people.
You don’t see people getting stabbed as it’s expected at Leeds, Download, Reading, Glastonbury etc.
15 assaults on emergency workers isn’t a small number by any means.
Every single time this happens.
They should try it just once and see if it actually works. I’d love to see the cost breakdown of not just policing this event, but the consequential cost of lost time and injury to staff and emergency workers, cost to the health system etc.

Do they do this for every festival, music event and carnival across the year?
Why are they posting this, they don’t do it ascot or other festivals which have the same crime levels. The police are just engaging in hate farming as well
They should ticket it and gate entry somehow. These are just the reported crimes I remind you.
Good work as usual by the Met. Thanks cops!
How many tier 1 stabbers will see a prison cell?
Imagine writing this with a straight face.. look at the amount of crime for one day .. I’d love to compare it with Brighton Pride.. see how many stabbings occurred, or burglaries 😂.
I mean… Plenty of consensual stabbings I’m sure !
Carnival has gotten worse every year and the more popular it gets
Tbh massive festivals have drug and assault issues too. But the racists only like to point out Notting Hill Carnival.
I remember many years ago I watched a programme on the issues alcohol consumption causes in the U.K. They said between Thursday and Sunday half of the ambulance call outs were alcohol related. But yet people like ignore that and just focus on things they assume minorities are doing.
And if you call for change you are RaC!sT apparently
London street carnival is more dangerous than Rio’s street carnival
What geographic area do they include in these figures? Presumably it is not all of Greater London (which would capture non-Carnival related things).
For example, I was on the bus yesterday going through part of Shepherd’s Bush and we went past three arrests being made by plainclothes officers. Did those count as part of the 90 arrests?
