YOU MEAN THE 'NOTTING HILL CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL', DON'T YOU?

SMELL THAT 'PROFESSIONAL' JOURNALISM...insert alt text here
-- "A mother and a chef who worked under Gordon Ramsay have both died after they were attacked in separate incidents connected to the Notting Hill carnival. There have been eight deaths related to violence at the carnival since 1987." --
Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of woke
-- "The young blacks, people with good memories, knew that the police were there for the express purpose of terrorising them." --

Somebody remind me... how many cops have stabbed people at this 'festival?' 

Time travel with me to 2023...

"The two-day Afro-Caribbean Notting Hill Carnival, which has been a staple of the summer in the Central London district since the 1960s, saw 275 people arrested and eight men stabbed this year."
And 2022...
-- "London police are calling for the tradition of the city’s annual Notting Hill carnival to end after this year’s festival saw large numbers of stabbings, assaults, and one murder." --
