    You're probably right but it's got the attention of a lot of people and plenty of mentions. Mainly piss taking but attention all the same.

    How does it deal with the joints between the strips?

    As marvelous as this sort of technology is, I think the same when I see travelling fairs and theme parks. How can we have all this technology for luxuries, when so many people around the world can't even get their basic needs met?

    Or spend all that money on carnivals and festivals which descend into mayhem.

    Your question is too complicated, it is simply 'why can't so many people around the world get their basic needs met?'.

    This still remains one of the craziest City games I have ever seen. It was like a junior school football match.

    Great days.

    See, Acun calls himself a media expert, but he missed a trick there when he took over.

    Well, this is a quote from a senior police officer.
    'Cdr Alison Heydari said: "The atmosphere over the past two days has been largely positive and good natured as Carnival should be.'

    200 arrests at an event over 2 days attended by probably millions of people. And what are the arrests for? Minor drug offences, fighting, pissing in the street? Fine to report arrests Sophie, how about reporting what the outcome of them was?
    1 stabbing? It's tragic and shouldn't happen but there's been more than that on Saturday nights in London this year.

    You'd ban an annual event on those grounds? Wouldn't get my vote.

    I would also view Sophie Corcoran's views with some circumspection. Not disputing her figures but imo she is gobby, attention-seeking, reactionary, very rightwing (she would support legislation which relaxed gun laws in Britain) and a thoroughly unpleasant piece of work.

    If only they applied the same criteria to football fans.

    Yet hardly any arrests at football in Hull, no stabbings and yet the police want ever more numbers and money for policing games. Who pays the £8 million to police this carnival? You don’t mention the number of police attacked either.

    The last full season there were 1089 arrests at football in all 4/divisions. Total spectators over 30 million. That is an arrest rate of around 36 per million. 200 arrests for the 2 million attending carnival is an arrest rate nearly 3 times higher than football. So football is safer to attend. And you can bet the police let a lot of things go at the carnival they wouldn’t at a football match. Ad we know why. There are video of assaults and damage. Will there be the Met’s Cororan’s bevspening months poring over videos to nail them? Of course not.

    Marvellous scenes as the indigenous people celebrated their culture at the foootball….Something you won’t hear uttered.

    Just read one lass on about how marvellous it wast to see people celebrating and eating the food of their culture. Something to think about as you watch people coming out of the chippie.

    34 police assaulted, whatever that means. Doesn't alter my argument.
    Comparing Carnival numbers/arrests with football numbers/arrests is ludicrous. If 2 million people congregated around Wembley for 2 days of football you could reasonably do that comparison.

    But, would you ban Carnival because of the stats Corcoran posted? That was the original question.

    Met Police's own twitter feed paints a different picture of the event than you do
