Will knife arches and about 13,000 police officers be enough to prevent more knife crime in 'Wild West' London?

may help a bit AOG but it's cultcha innit!

[ichkeria]

Bang on schedule AOG: congratulations :-)
Anyway seems like a good idea

[ToraToraTora]

2 to 1? that's huge price, It'd go 1-100 certainty at the good ole annual crimeathon!

[anneasquith]

Knife arches ?

[Rockrose]

Yaaay that time of the year again.

[anneasquith]

Thanks, great idea.

[ToraToraTora]

the arches will help but the bruddhas will just use these:

Surely if only one person's life was saved by banning this crime attracting event, it would be well worth it.

[anotheoldgit]

With all the police, policing Notting Hill, the scooter gangs will have one hell of a time.

[ToraToraTora]

good point AOG, it should be banned if only to stop the rest of the city turning into dodge with no plods about.

/// Should the police be more concerned about drugs and alcohol, or weapons at nottinghill? Which is more dangerous to the event? ///

Well I would say weapons, yes I know one could be clouted over the head with an empty beer bottle and still die, but drugs?

Amazing, 13,00 Old Bill can be found for this but when it's moped scum out none available. I wonder where they will all come from . 900 from the Internet hate Police I suppose.

[youngmafbog]

Yes they can Spath but in this environment those taking drugs have gone out to seek them. Violence often happens to those that have done nothing wrong so protection should be given to them first.

Yeah! The annual NHC carnival thread est arivee!
