So even if we assume all of the arrests result in convictions and prison sentences, you’re still 5200x more likely to have been to prison as a Reform party MP than a NHC attendee.

There's also near-on a million folk that manage to get on point n enjoy themselves, every year.What's the point of this ?
There seems to be stabbings every year and trouble.
Many of whom never experience any serious trouble.
No, business owners and home owners board up their shop fronts and front gardens instead to prevent anything like that happening.We should be grateful they didn't put through the windows of Gregg's, set fire to anything or ask for their country back I suppose.
Ahhhhh the smell of whataboutery.
Responding with statistics proving that the Notting Hill carnival is less violent and involves fewer arrests per person than other mass public events that are tolerated by the British press and don’t generate the same hysteria is not whataboutery, its just good old fashioned destroying a shite argument with facts.

Like any other huge gathering there is money to be made selling drugs, impossible to stop everyone and thoroughly search them on entry. Just look at Creamfields plenty get nicked for shotting. The young lads in the gangs don't give a fuck about the police one bit they will stab people in broad day light over nothing.
Watched some of it on a stream on youtube, far too crowded for my liking but anyway there was a woman twerking on a fucking 5 year old what's all that about, disgusting.

Not sure the arrest figures reflect the actual crime figures tbh.Responding with statistics proving that the Notting Hill carnival is less violent and involves fewer arrests per person than other mass public events that are tolerated by the British press and don’t generate the same hysteria is not whataboutery, its just good old fashioned destroying a shite argument with facts.

A quick glance and the coppers on duty are the most passive bunch you will ever see.

You think that doesn’t also apply to other mass public events? Protests, football, festivals, the police always become passive when they’re outnumbered 100 to 1.
But by pretending it only happens at Notting Hill, people invent a situation where they can ignore the facts to justify the feelings they have towards this particular event, for whatever reason they hold those feelings.
