What a wonderful spectacle and not one mention of an arrest or of any trouble, how different from the Notting Hill Carnival.

Why?

[Ankou]

just because it isn't mentioned, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

but its good for the media to focus on the positive. its a shame they always look for the negative when it comes to notting hill - iften for weeks before the event.

perhaps location is also the key. 2 miles in london makes a massive difference to crime rates.

Damn clever those Chinese, having their festival where there is a low crime rate.

policing is done by the local tongs. Offenders will be dim sum tomorrow.

[Ankou]

well thats subjective. they were quite close to one of the greatest establishments of sustained criminal activity - parliament.

Can't ever remember there being any stabbings or shootings in Parliament, not in recent history however.

[Ankou]

can we include back stabbing and shooting yourself in the foot ?

there's been a lot of that, amongst other things.........
