[News] Notting Hill Carnival

[Guinness Boy]

Rum and reggae are definitely worse than nationally organised far right riots and trying to burn down a hotel, staff and all.

I particularly like the multiple women twerking on officer videos

Agree… until you have kids.

Why ? Living in a house in Hampstead is much better than living in a house in Brighton surely !!

Ask people in England where they would live if money was no object and I'm sure 9/10 would say London I'm sure.

People famously hate countryside, safety, and walkability.

I wouldn't, I hate London it's a dirty s##t hole. I seriously don't see the attraction.

I wouldn't live in London if you paid me

London is soooo much better than anywhere in Sussex. No disrespect like.

If you live in Sussex you're too poor to live in a decent area in London.

Otherwise why would the super rich live in London over Brighton or hove

Do the super rich visit or avoid NHC though? How many celebs will be chilling out at pavement street vendors food bar whilst wearing their expensive jewellery, compared to those who have f***ed off for the weekend? Yes, London can be great if you can afford to live like you are loaded, but for the other 90 per cent?

Ermmm guessing you missed the Euros 2020 problems in London for the semis and finals. And we’ve just been awarded the tournament for 2028, with a final at Wembley!

Nobody was stabbed during that disorder. It received endless negative coverage in the press, on social media and there was a bloody Netflix documentary about it! It also prompted a government review and an F.A review.
Ironically, it serves to prove the point you're trying to disprove. There was a far, far more robust response to that disorder than Notting Hill carnival disorder despite it having less serious violence.

Goodness gracious no!

Not sure about that, many arrests, stabbing, weapons and even fire arms found aren't they meant to be having fun? The far right were there solely for disruption.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Lots of arrests. Some serious offenses.

No rioting or insurrection as far as I can see.

Notting Hill Carnival - Update at 19:00hrs on Monday 26 August

Officers have made 145 arrests as of 19:00hrs on Monday, bringing the total so far over two days to 249.

Sorry, Labour haters, it's still one-tier Kier. Dry your eyes.

What do you mean by 'robust'? See my post above.

Where do you stand of Khan trying his hardest to improve the air quality then ?

I don't look a khan much he is in his own micro universe, which doesn't directly effect me. What's his record on this then?

 

[clapham_gull]

What's his record on this then?

Very good. As for London being a "shit hole", the air is much cleaner under Khan and I live within walking distance of three major green spaces.

By the way I don't live in Clapham any more - I SERIOUSLY CASHED IN and bought a huge pile in a neighbouring shithole with the lowest council tax in the country.

RESULT

I lived in this area for 15 years and loved living there. But yer it was annoying when carnival was on.

It does make me laugh though all the lefty loveys on this board ...talking about embracing any other culture than white British .....when in reality there is absolutely no way they would live in anything other than a white middle class area.

Personally I love living in areas that have a cultural breadth.

How the f*** do you know where everyone lives on this board? Generally, folk who live in places that are more multicultural arw the more liberal folk socially overall - see Brexit vote percentages and big multicultural cities for example. Brighton and Hove also comparatively high Remain vote.

But as for London over Brighton- half of London now lives in Brighton ffs! I'll take living on the coast and a lot more sun (lived in London- its so much sunnier in brighton), being able to swim in the sea through summer, cycle to work along the coast, trips down the road to beautiful east sussex coastline, all while still living in a very cultural place any day of the week, thanks.

I would still rather live in Newhaven than a nice part of London.

If money was no object I would live in the Sussex countryside, I don’t really like busy cities

 

[BN9 BHA]

And this

 

[Weststander]

Horses for courses.

NSC is going to be biased about living on the Sussex coast. Whilst millions love living in London, many others would move there if they could afford to.

Good for you, how's the violent crime, do you feel safe at night or even the day?
