That’s slightly misleading. Clubs only pay for policing immediately outside the ground. The vast bulk of the cost of policing the majority of games falls to the Force concerned.

So on that basis, which bits of the carnival should the committee pay for?


I doubt those than run the NHC could afford to pay for anything as it's a free event and essentially a street party that has carte blanche to do whatever it wants, regardless of crime committed. Which is part of the problem with it.

I would suggest that although the NHC creates a few problems for the Met, the event does give the Met a chance to foster good relations in an area of London with plenty of issues, not withstanding Grenfell.

A report today released by police in Devon identifying people not wearing seatbelts. All done by AI cameras, originally set up to capture mobile phone users, whilst driving. Around 2,000 adults and over 100 children caught by the cameras 😳. Staggering level of stupidity.

Do you think it really achieves this? Are the police still viewed with tainted eyes following so many scandals
If you meet a friendly face or someone that is helpful and nice to you, it can and will dispell many myths. Building trust is a long and slow process, and needs to be done...for everyone.
We moan about certain groups being tarred with the same brush, but are happy to do and accept it for others.
