The Carnival's roots date back to the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833 when the first Caribbean carnival was held in Trinidad. Black Caribbeans took to the streets for their own carnival party, with song, dance and costumes.

Black African Slave traders resisted the abolition of slavery.

When Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 it not only had to contend with opposition from white slavers but also from African rulers who had become accustomed to wealth gained from selling slaves ( Most slaves sold by Africans ) or from taxes collected on slaves passed through their domain. African slave-trading classes were greatly distressed by the news that legislators sitting in parliament in London had decided to end their source of livelihood

Every August, a Caribbean sway comes to West London for Europe's largest street party. Steel drums, singers, eye-catching floats and troops of costumed dancers all pulsate to the beat. Throngs line the streets to watch this exceptional extravaganza. Rap and reggae mingles with dance music and other beats pumped out at deafening volumes as people munch on Caribbean snacks. The parade route winds through Chepstow Road, Westbourne Grove, Ladbroke Grove and Kensal Road. The carnival is free but bring cash for plantains, patties and Red Stripe beer. start date: 2005-08-01 end date: 2005-08-31

About The Carnival
www.socanews.com

Colourful, crowded and controversial – Notting Hill Carnival’s 41-year existence has never been dull!

From its modest roots in the 1960s as a local event intended to bring some fun and togetherness to what was then a deprived and sometimes troubled area, the carnival has grown to become Europe’s largest street festival, attracting thousands of masqueraders and over a million visitors.

Notting Hill blends the traditional Trinidad Carnival elements of mas, calypso/soca and steelpan with Jamaican-style static sounds and hundreds of food and craft stalls. From about midday, a dozen steelbands, about 70 mas bands and the same number of mobile soca sounds circulate slowly round the route (it can take up to 10 hours for a band to complete the 4-mile circuit).

Children’s Carnival, on Sunday, is reserved for younger masqueraders and tends to be less crowded than Adults’ Day, on Bank Holiday Monday.

2005 Carnival route to be extended to increase public safety & ensure growth of Europe's premier Carnival
http://www.carnaval.com/cityguides/london/lon_carn.htm

At a meeting today of the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), a motion was agreed to back proposals by London Notting Hill Carnival Limited (LNHCL) the main organisers of the Notting Hill Carnival, to extend the route in the interests of public safety and to ensure the growth, and economic development of the event as Europe’s premiere Carnival.

The extension would include the use of Hyde Park as the starting point of the event, where the costume bands will be judged, and ending in Notting Hill, the spiritual home of the Carnival. Three possible routes from Hyde Park to Notting Hill are being considered to form part of an expanded route for Carnival 2005.

Prof Chris Mullard, Chair, LNHCL said: “Carnival, for both participants and spectators, has clearly outgrown its present site. To make the event more enjoyable and safer for all requires, amongst other things, an urgent review of the present route.

Paraiso School of Samba, London - Notting Hill Carnival 2005 - Designs

Our theme for the 2005 carnival is the evolution of life from its creation through to the future.
150 years ago, the creation of life in the garden of Paradise was the predominant explanation. Then Darwin and Wallace, two prominent UK naturalists, separately embarked on long journeys to Brasil, South America and beyond to study plants and animals. Their work resulted in the publication of their theories of the origin of species. But this also caused a rift between the Church and the scientists as to the origin of life on earth, pitting the doctrine of the Church and the theories of science against each other.

50 years ago, the discovery of DNA in the UK by Crick & Watson has put the power to manipulate life and probably its evolution into the hands of man. One hopes that “the hand of God” is on the hand of man.

Our parade follows the structure of Rio carnival parades. Of course, all this will be supplemented by a mass of feathers and sequins characteristic of Rio carnivals and there will, in Paraiso tradition, be surprises and effects.

Crime And The Notting Hill Carnival - 2000 The Truth Comes Out John Tyndall comments on police instructions to ignore criminal activities A gang of youths was "steaming" the street. As many as 50 young men sprinted down the road together, punching, slashing and stealing before their victims knew what had happened. Bhatti managed to get to his feet and stagger a few yards, then collapsed. He died later of brain stem injuries. MUGGINGS KNIFINGS DRUG PUSHING MURDER WE'D ALL GOT USED TO IT. The delighted face of a TV news reader (usually female) at the end of August Bank Holiday, coming on the screen and telling us, with an air of joy and triumph, what a happy, harmonious and successful event the Notting Hill Carnival had been. There were the usual shots of grinning policemen dancing with black women, the usual reports that there had been "very little trouble." It often seemed as if the presentation of this particular news had been carefully rehearsed. One could just imagine the producer beforehand: "No, Fiona, you must look happier - a really big smile! And your voice must sound as if it's conveying wonderful news. Another take - that's better!" But this year - at long last - the truth came out. Glen Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, spilled the beans. In a statement on Radio 4 at the end of the Carnival, he said:- ‘In my experience, the level of reported crime is far below that which really happens, and the whole process is down-played for political reasons. ‘Police are actively discouraged from making arrests by senior officers for fear of sparking a riot situation, and I have seen serious criminal offences taking place while we are powerless to act... There is a significant criminal minority who exploit it in the full knowledge that the police will tread extremely lightly... The record of the Carnival is pretty appalling. Lecturer Dr Frank Ellis Sovietization Of - UK     ‘For the Metropolitan Police, the annual festival represents more than a policing challenge. With the ghost of Stephen Lawrence - the black teenager murdered by a gang of young white men who have never been convicted - seemingly stalking every decision made by senior officers, the celebration of the best of West Indian culture looms menacingly over Scotland Yard each summer.’ Continued

An Evening with Mr Michael Portillo MP At the Notting Hill Gate Library By Sean Bryson ( February 2003 ) I managed to ask Mr Portillo if he thought that perhaps the devastating level of racial attacks / violence that was being inflicted upon the white population by various ethnic minorities, ( Government figures - and separate from the mugging figures, of 50 - 60 thousand a year in London alone ! as of June 2002 ) May be contributing towards the exponential membership growth of the British National Party ? ( How many people have heard of Ross Parker ? )

The Notting Hill Postman Who SPITS On My Unemployment Benefit ?!?!

The Court of Appeal held that telling the truth was no defence

While You Are Here !

Take a look at the Red White & Blue

The Annual DO!

  Just ordinary people, that have finally had enough, of being lied to, bullied, and accused

From British Nationalist, December 2004 15 YEAR OLD BOY BURNED ALIVE FOR BEING WHITE ! One Law for Them...Yet again! Did you know that in Glasgow on 18th October, the first ever Scottish conviction for racially motivated murder was secured? Did you read or hear about how fifteen year old Kriss Donald was attacked by Muslim Racists, abducted, driven around Scotland, beaten, mutilated, stabbed and burned alive? Did you know that the first defendent accused admitted he was killed simply for being "a white boy"? The chances are you did not if you do not log onto the BNP website or read Voice of Freedom regularly. Shame on you if you do neither! ON THE OTHER HAND, very few of you will be unaware of the 'heinous' attack on the coloured footballers playing for England by Spanish fans the day before. Wall-to-wall national TV and press coverage was given over to the crime of " name calling " while one of the most vicious and brutal murders of a child ever witnessed in this country was either ignored or left as a regional filler. This is more than politically correct meddling. This is Communist style manipulation of public opinion. Hide the real horrors and inflate lesser evils. White people cannot be seen as victims, only as aggressors. The truth will out though, thanks to the BNP and your help in spreading the word to friends and family.
