Nobody yelled at a police dog, so all is okay

[seandelap]

You can understand why Victor Orban doesn't want Hungary to become more diverse like western European countries

[johnnoon]

Stabbing? Not a crime in a major city, thanks Mr Mayor. Tweeting an unapproved opinion? Go to jail.

[Amy-ONENEWSEXTRA]

7, 000 cops on double time and a huge clean up operation, all paid for by the tax payers, what utter rubbish add this to Pakistani independence day and all the other nonsense, and they didn’t even play any decent music

[erynlasgalen]

I can't understand why civilized people are expected to put up with this behavior.

[paulevetts]

any crime commited outside the barriers are not included in the list

[ianmedford]

Its tolerated because The English will never inflict a price upon the government; and the "non English" absolutely will.

Westminster acts accordingly; and will continue to do so until the calculation changes.

[seandelap]

Diversity strikes diversity how ironic is that

[halloweenville]

It's no longer a celebration of carnival, costumes and culture, it's a celebration of crime. And the goal is to make sure we are aware of THAT, and to not complain about it.

[Sajuek]

"A Dothraki festival with only three stabbings is considered a dull affair."

[UncommonSense]

Funny how these celebrations across multiple countries have the same reputation

[LazyEngineeredThoughts]

Weird how we’re all supposed to look upon debauchery as a sign of progress in our society. Those are boards of peace!!!

[jemmajames]

We have a fair where I live once a year, it’s being going for nearly 800 years, that is what I call the fabric of a culture.

[petermach]

To paraphrase PJ O'Rourke;

"I went to the Notting Hill Carnival and I came away converted" to ethnic nationalism.

[iceshakle]

The Sky reporter saying "Being mostly peaceful" was the sort of thing someone in Brass Eye would have said. Life imitates art.

[mossyoak]

It's so peaceful yet it looks like a city preparing for a war...with the elderly now being the evacuees.

[calleX]

Stabbings where unheard of where I grew up.

[seandelap]

If this happened 20 years ago it would have taken me by suprised but the fact that I'm no longer shocked when this happens shows the absolute dire situation that Europe has found itself in this should never feel like the norm but it has become so unfortunately

[halloweenville]

I heard it was savage this year, there were brutal crimes all over the joint. The worst being, a man said the words "English and proud" in the same sentence. The police acted fast, and he is now off the streets, and we can all be safe again.

[AgnesFay-kc]

Costs the tax payer £12 million why do we have to pay for this
