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. |
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

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.

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 |

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.

About The Carnival
www.socanews.com
Colourful, crowded and controversial
Notting Hill Carnivals 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 Europes 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).
Childrens Carnival, on Sunday, is reserved
for younger masqueraders and tends to be less crowded than Adults
Day, on Bank Holiday Monday.

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 Europes 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 .
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
http://www.paraisosamba.co.uk/carnival/2005/Design.php
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.

The Notting Hill Carnival has been
taking place in London, on the last weekend in August, every
year since 1964. This great festival began initially from
the energies of Black immigrants from the Caribbean, particularly
from Trinidad, where the Carnival tradition is strong, and
from people living locally who dreamed of creating a festival
to bring together the people of Notting Hill, most of whom
were facing racism

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.

Chairman. GLA suggest that the Authority
might welcome a change of chief executive, it seems implausible
that this could be because Lee
Jasper (senior policy adviser at the GLA)
once stood against Claire Holder for the top post in Notting
Hill Carnival. A lawyers' carnival. conducting
their campaigns through the press, each feeding its version of events
to the media. "The Carnival
has always
embodied peace and harmony and will not tolerate violence in any
form or for any reason," a statement read.According to an "opinion"
of the Charities Commission, the Board consists of Ansel Wong, Ashton
Moore, Debi Gardner, Antonn McCalla and Hesketh Benoit (referred
to below as the "old Board"). Geraldine Connor, Glen Falconer,
Keith Franklin, Cllr
Patrick Mason, Roy McEwen, Avion Mookram and Clary Salandy,
who have been appointed to the Board at various times in the past
two years, are not, in the Charities Commission's opinion, legal
trustees.
Notting Hill Carnival in Jeopardy ? By Loreen
McKellar Caribbean Voice The future of
London's Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's largest carnival, is in
doubt after two men were murdered and 19 stabbing incidents were
reported to the police. A Scotland Yard spokesman said a witness
had described how the gang of mainly black males began targeting
Asian stall holders with missiles before battering and kicking Mr
Bhatti. The popular two-day festival held over the August public
holiday weekend attracted a crowd of 1.5 million people from all
over the world.
However, television footage of two youths openingly brandishing
knives in a crowded area of the festival shown on ...
Soca News understands that the BBC has also been gathering material
for an investigative programme. This publicity is itself proving
divisive - "trustees" on both old and new Boards believe
that an action for libel is imminent against one or more newspapers
following recent articles on the Trust's problems. Even without
a libel action, lawyers seem likely to benefit from the Trust's
problems, because a court decision may be the only way to settle
the legal position of the various "trustees".In the meantime,
both Boards appear to be conducting their own negotiations with
funders and the authorities for this year's carnival. The old Board
- which may operate out of new offices if and until it regains access
to 332 Ladbroke Grove - claims that the funding bodies are fully
behind it and fully supporting carnival. The five trustees of the
old Board intend to speak to the mas bands and all the disciplines,
as well as the Golden Jubilee parade organisers. It says that in
future the carnival organisation will operate in a more transparent
way and will involve more carnival people. It is unlikely that the
old Board would retain the services of either Claire Holder as chief
executive or Chris Nortey as finance director. Until democratic
elections from the membership could be held, the old Board anticipates
the CFG seconding someone to act as an independent chair - Herman
Ouseley and Lady Hollick are two names that have been discussed,
Soca News has heard.Back at Ladbroke Grove, Claire Holder has been
meeting with Major Parker, the director of the Jubilee parade, and
with funders as well. Much hinges on the PriceWaterhouseCoopers
report, which, sources close to the new Board say, will clear the
NHCT chief executive of all wrongdoing, including the charges of
nepotism and fraud. A meeting had been arranged between both Boards
and the director of the Charities Commission for the 19th March.
Time for real unity Some degree of unity and control will need to
be swiftly re-established within the carnival organisation if it
is not to lose the support of major funders such as the London Arts,
the Arts Council, the councils, the GLA and commercial sponsors.
If the present divisions and uncertainty continue, there is a very
real danger that this money will be permanently lost to
Notting Hill. While this would certainly suit the anti-carnival
cabals within Kensington and Westminster Councils, and might well
be to the benefit of some of London's smaller carnivals, it would
cause grave damage to Europe's premier festival. More immediately,
the Trust must get its act together rapidly if it is to have any
hope of bringing 4000 masqueraders on to the streets for the Queen's
Golden Jubilee Parade on 4th June. The longer the row continues,
the deeper the divisions will become, and the less money and goodwill
there will be for Notting Hill Carnival 2002 and beyond. Nick Hopkins,
crime correspondent Saturday June 1, 2002. The Guardian Policing
the Notting Hill carnival cost a record £5.6m last year, more
than twice the amount spent on the anti-capitalist May Day demonstrations
in London four months earlier, it was revealed yesterday. Scotland
Yard commissioner, Sir John Stevens, gave the details in a report
to the finance, planning and best value committee of the Metropolitan
police authority. Concern over the rising
cost of the carnival led the police to estimate last year's event
would cost £4m. The final bill was higher because of the Met's
determination to prevent the violence and murders that marred the
2000 event. The force paid for 80 extra CCTV cameras and hand-held
metal detectors, to help officers identify people carrying guns
and knives. Crime was cut by a quarter. According to the report,
10,000 officers were deployed over the two days, 1,500 more than
the year before. A breakdown showed that £2.5m was spent on
normal policing and civil staff pay, £2.1m on overtime, and
£1.1m on other costs before, during and after the carnival.
In comparison, policing the funeral of the Queen Mother involved
7,955 officers and 1,302 civil staff between March 31 and April
9, the report said. An early estimate for the cost of the event
is £4.1m. Other major occasions were far less expensive. The
cost of the Trooping the Colour celebrations last year was £1.1m,
and the state opening of parliament was £384,000. Policing
New Year's Eve cost the Met £3.1m. Eric Ollerenshaw, leader
of the Conservatives on the London assembly, called for "more
rational" financing of the carnival. "I was quite staggered
by the amount, and also the amount of police that had to be drafted
in from other areas. I am not against carnival but I want a more
rational system of dealing with it. Nepotism, fraud, gross misbehaviour,
kangaroo courts and libel - these are just some of the serious charges
being laid against decision-makers at Notting Hill Carnival Trust
(NHCT). For once, newspaper headlines talking of "chaos"
and "crisis" in Carnival are not exaggerated; if anything,
they understate the gravity of the situation and complexity of the
splits in the organisation. At the time of going to press, Claire
Holder remains in the Trust's offices at 332 Ladbroke Grove as NHCT
chief executive, answerable to the Trust Board. Greg Watson 21 of
Northolt, West London died from a single stab wound after challenging
a youth who had approached his 14 year old female cousin. Abdul
Bhatti, a 28 year old salesman from Hounslow,
West London died from head injuries after being attacked. Policing
