oh really, can you point me towards anything to back that typically from people like you, ridculous statement up

that's remarkably easy: the BNP on Carnival: "The violent alien crime festival otherwise known as the ‘Notting Hill Carnival’... "

Some can't wait for the carnival to start.

But could it be a ploy to escape the face recognition cameras?

/// "The violent alien crime festival otherwise known as the ‘Notting Hill Carnival’... " ///

What an apt description regardless who stated it.

[agchristie]

AOG - a daring suggestion!

[vulcan42]

I never understand why in this country the newspapers and or security forces announce what they intend to do, and why, at these events, It's an open invitation for terrorists.

AOG > But could it be a ploy to escape the face recognition cameras?

No nay-sayers as yet,unlike some attending.Folk on here are not in a lather?

[ichkeria]

In fairness Vulcan I think often these announcements act as deterrents to terrorists and troublemakers. Hope so anyway

Wasn't much fun for these five unfortunates.

Five murders have taken place since 1987:

30 August 1987 - Michael Augustine Galvin, 23, stallholder - stabbed.

26 August 1991 - Nicholas John Hanscomb, 38, bled to death after being stabbed in the thigh.

28 August 2000 - Greg Fitzgerald Watson, 21, stabbed to death after an argument over food.

28 August 2000 - Abdul Munam Bhatti, 28, beaten to death in a racially motivated attack by a group of 40-50 youths.

30 August 2004 - Lee Christopher Surbaran, 27, shot by a gang using a machine pistol for "showing disrespect".

Best ban driving on the A14 the as there have been 5 deaths in the last 6 months.
Best ban swimming in the sea as there have been 9 deaths in 2 weeks.

Wait a moment agchristie, while she makes some 'assumptions'.

[Islay]

Anotheroldgit you are the one that makes constant assumptions and then goes on the attack when questioned over it!!

As for the criminal intentions there are none - but most of those killed went to the carnival to have fun as did those on the beach and those driving the car!

Cheers for the update trt.

We ought not to be surprised with this news...

[agchristie]

DB - very true.The lengths that residents have to go to protect their properties and businesses...

God forbid that a serious terrorist incident occurred in the capital away from the carnival on the BH weekend.

The resources,manpower and cost is phenomenal.
