The Notting Hill Carnival is always a hotbed of criminality and violence, sometimes leading to murder, such as the one this weekend just gone. The police were targeted too and some of their officers suffered attacks, including a female office put into a headlock and gang raped, so they don't think that they should put themselves in such unnecessary danger as they're people too. I therefore have to agree with the police that the event should finally stop after all these decades.
I went there once a long time ago and it didn't seem all that to me, anyway. I'll be glad to see the back of it due to that criminality. If it was peaceful, then I wouldn't have an issue with it: let people enjoy what they want. As usual, it takes just a few rotten apples to ruin it for everyone.
