I wouldn't mind the disruption.
We have a carnival here each year and roads are closed (obviously not on the same scale) and I don't hear people complaining.
There's more complaints when there's a gig on in the local cricket ground and people can't park directly outside their houses or can't get a table in the local pub.

this event concentrates upwards of a million participants and spectators into a small area of narrow streets in west London, where access is (by its nature) difficult. I would be interested in seeing the organisers risk assessments, and the mitigations in place to prevent the risk of injuries if the crowd were cause to stampede, for whatever reason, or for ensuring emergency services can get access quickly in the event of serious injury or fire.
Oh and Ummm, at the 2015 carnival, the sound systems operated continuously for 42 hours. does your carnival operate in that manner? If I were a resident I'd call that disruptive, and I think I'd mind about that.

This thread is about the Notting Hill Carnival not Gay Pride, please keep my thread on track, just as you are always telling others to do. //
Threads meander as people contribute, and I am sure you know that.
But if you want to have a moan at people for the direction of the thread, try Rockrose, who first mentioned Notting Hill Carnival at 09:46, or Sqad who mentioned it a 09:56.
On second thoughts, perhaps that's best left because it's not 'your' thread, it's a thread you started, which does not give you rights of ownership, or a say on the direction in which its headed - that's decided by the contributors.
Any further discussion about this would be rightly construed as derailing, which of course you are keen to avoid.
