Halibut Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Did anyone else go yesterday? What a fantastic day out - the parade was a stunning celebration of colour, dance and rhythm - then onto the park for shedloads of rum, some interesting fags and lashings more music and all the barbecued jerk chicken you ever wanted and then some. Shame it got a bit rainy later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 pity about the live music. http://www.freemuse.org/sw43659.asp The absense of live steel drumming in the parade was a shame, but it's never been a big feature and there was lots of music in the park on Sunday anyway.

Bigger tree Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 No reports of anyone being arrested, or any stabbings, unlike the carnival down in Nottinghill - to be fair though, there was "only" 50 odd arrests this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, if 10 people are arrested at a footy match the news goes big with it, but when 113 arrests are made at the Nottinghill carnival the media are faily quiet about it. They wouldn't want to be seen to be painting the black community in London in a bad light now would they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
