It looks like there was more of a hands on approach towards the old bill with 75 assaults including one of a sexual nature as there was last year.

You’ll find that most festivals have a hands off approach to policing

360 - one thing your not factoring in to that stat is the police have a don’t nick anyone unless you really have to policy at NHC, in case it all blows up. 6th form types at Glastonbury don’t come with the same issues.

I missed NHC this year as was too hungover but it's a lot of fun and on Sunday, the family day, there is hardly any trouble.
There are some absoulete sorts with everything on show their as well which is always good to see.
That said, if I had a kid who was under the age of 18 they most definitely would not be allowed to go.

I’ve got in-laws that have lived in Ladbroke Grove all their life, right by the main procession. They hate carnival and go away to the seaside every year it’s on. Hardly a great trauma.
And I’ve always called it carnival since I used to go as a kid, I’m hardly going to stop now that I’m Middle aged

Couple of my mates are just normal people/builders, one of whom happens to be non-white who have to move their familiies out for five days every year as its complete carnage - and they always fear what is going to be there or not when they get back- the whole siutauion is unsafe and inconsisent with what it was first set-up to be- needs a complete rejig

I apologise, I got the figures wrong for Glastonbury if we talk about it being held for a week or so. I think its 220k capacity for the whole week, I think I saw the an article saying 100k but that was for 1 day attendance,.
Carnival is def 2m over the days its on,.
Its hard to compare directly as you're not comparing a day event vs another, so you can really only use total volume of attendees for Bothe events.
So proportionally its the same amount of arrests.
But my point still stands considering the nature of both events. Ticketed, expensive, middle class, in the middle of nowhere etc..
But we are both agree that the arrest thing is over egged about carnival compared to other events.
Also, I call it carnival because of all my friends call it carnival, and we all know which one we are talking about. It's part of our community. Lots of us have even going since we were children.

Even 'The Carnival' would be better but just 'Carnival' like your some sort of rasta is just embarrassing. Im surprised its not considered cultural appropriation is the current societal climate!!!

360, your numbers and stats are massively incorrect and im not coming at this from the perspective that I think the Notting Hill Carnival needs to be cancelled as I actually agree with you that an event of that size the numbers reported are not problematic and can be expected from anything that attracts over 1 million people.
Glastonbury has a daily capacity of circa 100,000 people but runs from Wednesday to Monday so if you really want to calculate the attendance then you are looking at a figure closer to half a million attending Glastonbury. Equally the NHC is attended by around 1.5million across 3 days according to official sources, whether you believe them or not. If you want to compare the two at least do it accurately rather than fudge them to suit your argument.
As I said I actually think NHC is a good event that is a great addition to the summer calendar and only gets bad press due to people's issue with the racial origination of it.
Lastly, calling it 'Carnival' is one of the cringiest things a middle aged, middle class man can do, its not cool.

I sometimes work with a fella who lives in the area
They employ security and board outside the complex he lives in but still have issues with people gaining access pissing and taking drugs in the outside communal area and in the past he has been bottled and threatened with s knife when challenging people damaging property.
Some of his neighbours move out for the weekend to avoid the hassle and stress of getting in and out.
As he says it is a great spectacle for the most part but not much fun when your stuck in the middle of it and your properties under threat.
Monday night particularly after the sun goes down is when it all kicks off.
