The 'carnival' was last weekend and there were 423 arrests.
If that was football related or even a Glatonbury type festival there would be a national outcry. How come this allowed every year?
I'm pretty much a leftie liberal and I have no issue with immigration or race issues but I say this purely from a public order standpoint. If the Reading festival had over 400 arrests every year it would be banned.
The locals must dread it.

I’ve been once and it’s not for me. Too crowded.

Arrests 423 out of a million people attending is quite low. Football related arrests are 4.2 per 100,000. Generally it seems its a small minority and the police say this years carnival was comparatively peaceful.

And nowhere near the 700 ‘terrorist’ arrested for waving flags. Most of them pensioners.

We’re just lucky that no white person has ever committed a crime.

You cannot reason a person out of something they were not reasoned into.

Yeah but that’s the over zealous rozzers, have you ever been?
How many would have been for urinating, D&D etc I expect only one or two were serious Arendt related to weapons or assaults

2 stabbings, 70 arrests for possession of weed, 46 for possession of a offensive weapon and 44 for drug dealing. 18 sexual offences & 5 robberies.

Sounds like a normal weekend in London to me - the sh1thole.

If the police arrested everyone who smoked a bit of weed the legal system would collapse and the police would not be able to function. If you want everyone arrested for breaking the law then you can forget the police doing anything but fill in paperwork only for the CPS to throw it out.

It is still against the law. So either change the law or accept arrest if caught.

Presumably you drive at 20 or 30 mph in the correct zone and always at 70 or under on the motorway. The cannabis laws are archaic and unless you are a supplier then the police won’t bother as they have better things to do. Do you think they should arrest everyone smoking a joint or in possession of a small amount for personal use ?
