A hundred fucking grand for a safety review? What is going on? How much does it cost for some people to dance down the road?
We do everything online nowadays; it shouldn’t be any different for carnivals.
I mean. Isn’t it just a pickpocket,drug doing, sexual assaulting street dance. I am sure the country can cope without it
Fund it yourself, if it’s such an important cultural event then I’m sure the thousands of people who attend can chip in a couple of quid for a safety review.
This is about crowd safety
The event has massively outgrown its original site and is a crowd crush disaster waiting to happen
Make it ticketed. My tax shouldn’t be funding this event. Other private events work that way.
Speaking as someone who loves the Notting Hill Carnival because it’s hilarious and just utter lawlessness – the government is fucked on this one.
You don’t fund the security and it’ll happen anyway and loads of people will die. You criticise it and you get called racist. That’s just it. Even if it’s a billion quid the festival is happening
As someone who goes to Notting hill they can decide to not fund it as the mas bands will go down there anyway. Not to mention how much money London makes from Notting hill carnival.
Oh dear, what a shame.
Unfortunately I suspect tax money will be used to keep it going.
Oh no! Where will London’s drug dealers advertise their wares?
Hang on, here’s an idea, maybe they could charge the dealers a fee?
It’s always a battle between people who don’t want to change anything and people that worry it has outgrown the venue and is now too risky.
I really hope they somehow sort this before anything happens, I can’t see how you can make the area completely safe without a huge lockdown which the residents would rightly object to.
The space it’s held in is too small for the crowds it attracts these days. They can only do what they do for NYE fireworks and make it a ticketed event. Now, it’s almost certain we will see some kind of mass riot or scenes like at Wembley 2020 where huge numbers of ticketless folk will try to gatecrash the event. Chaos. Definitely dead people. Arrests.
Then the event gets banned. Then there’s more riots. Arrests. Maybe some more dead. Talks. Discussions. Maybe further down the line it gets reinstated in some other manner after a process of reconciliation.
But you basically just need to let that whole process happen, warts and all. It’s like attacking a wasps hive, it’s messy, but necessary, and eventually you’ll sort it out.
