Expect nothing else. Saw someone on one of the main subs talk about going to carnival and the comments were hilarious. You’d think they were talking of going to a favela not carnival in London, so many pearl clutchers.
It’s pretty much what I’d expect really.
I mean, one is the Reddit for London full of people who live in London, many of whom who’ve been to a carnival or at the very least get that an event with 2m people at it does unfortunately have incidents. The other is for the whole UK, full of people from everywhere whose perception of London is often dependent on their media preferences.
This sub isn’t moderated by racists (that I’m aware of)

27 arrests for violence, 3 for sexual offences and 14 for theft at Glasto this year, but there won’t be a thread about that because no one minds when middle class white people get together and assault each other.
tbf “Less serious violence this year” is a laughable attempt.
Reminds me of the scene from Wardogs:
it’s safe!
How safe? 50/50!
What do you mean 50/50? 50% we live, 50% we die?
Yes, very safe, 50/50.
>Less serious violence this year
You mean like slapstick?
The Daily Mail coverage was hilarious, as predicted! I live in Notting Hill, my first carnival was aged 13. Do I go every year? No, sometimes I need a rest & I stay with friends when I don’t fancy the carnage and my flat vibrating for 48hrs straight. Am I 100% loyal to carnival? Hells yes.
The thing that gets me so angry is when critical idiots (the vast majority of which don’t even live in London, let alone W10/W11!) fail to put crime statistics into context – e.g the staggering number of attendees in comparison to the arrest rates – and want any reason to have a moan and be conservative closeted bigots.
I think Carnival has even more symbolic importance this year – being a symbol of London’s vibrant multiculturalism in the face of idiotic national front protesters. Until next year!!
Both can be true. This is the danger of propaganda and media, you can present the same information in different ways.
Both those things can be true
Which sub of the two has the constant daily mail postings of immigrants doing bad things? I’ll take a guess.
Per capita there were less arrests than at Glastonbury. At Glastonbury there were 44 arrests for 210,000 people, at NHC there were 2,000,000 people and 400 arrests. 2,000,000 divided by 210,000 is 9.5. 9.5 times 44 is 419 arrests.
Considering that Glastonbury is in a large outdoor space and NHC is in a city it doesn’t seem unreasonable.
It’s reddit. R/Uknews is racist, r/United kingdom is moderate
The UK sub Reddit is a constant stream of anti-immigration articles. It just reminds me that I’m lucky to live in London
I left the unitedkingdom sub and my mental health has markedly improved. There is nothing to be gained from browsing that haven of right-wing propaganda. I highly recommend cutting that sub and its sad, bitter denizens out of your life completely.
