Seems there is no shortage of coppers either, 12,000 of them to patrol this 'event', lets hope we dont hear they dont have the man power to investigate crimes against the hard working man on the street. Danny, you seem to thing the stats are good. Does that alos apply the all the Police attacked and injured?

Thank you for those figures, now await the sentences given out.
"353 arrests out of an attendance of 2.5 million. " - oh that's alright then, why are there any at all, it's supposed to be a carnival, isn't it?
Fancy only managing to catch 0.03% of 'em.

In any gathering of that size there is going to be a little pocket of troublemakers. Very few huge carnivals, festivals, marches etc go ahead without any arrests.

sorry dunno what happened there, AB seems to be doing funny things.

He most likely puts it down to collateral damage.
ymb. //Does that alos apply the all the Police attacked and injured? //
Of course not,and I did not say that the stats were good, only that the arrests comprised only .03% of those attending.As far as the assaults on police goes, in my force if someone appeared in court for that offence he/she was more or less guaranteed to go down for six months, which I what I would hope would happen to anybody convicted of that offence.
AOG, that remark is totally uncalled for,and just shows how ignorant you are.
£250 for a ticket to Glastonbury is a bargain! I've never witnessed any trouble there and police happily mingled with the revellers.
Isn’t it funny how some abers appear quite disappointed re the low figures for * arrests* . Maybe the carnival could teach the English football supporters something about behaviour at football matches in Europe .?
It appears the stop and search methods and the archways bumped up the arrests for possession, a good move.

Hugely disappointing to see assaults,ABH,GBH and sexual assaults.

Large numbers gathered in one place can give some a feeling of being able to get away with crime unnoticed - well they didn't.
Strange why there are not the high crime figures at the Gay Pride events.
Why is that strange?
Difficult to get numbers of attendees for Pride, as I counted 110 separate pride events taking place this year. As a result, the numbers of attendees per event is dwarfed by NHC and not really comparable.

I'd wager most Pride linked arrests are of Homophobes being abusive, so are not the fault of the marchers. I bet the coppers enjoy a good boogie at the various Prides. I went to one with my little boy a couple of years ago, everyone, gay and straight had a whale of a time.
oh dear - show any racist sympathies and you get censored
I am shocked
I am truly shocked
// Strange why there are not the high crime figures at the Gay Pride events.//

scroll down - one of the lesbians questioned the police
so perhaps dear AOG has a point
Manchester
Police arrested a total of 42 people at Manchester's Parklife music festival.Greater Manchester Police said most of the arrests were connected to drugs offences and the event passed without any major incidents.There were 25 arrests on Saturday and a total of 17 on Sunday, GMP confirmed.

A GMP statement said: "Over the weekend of Parklife police made 42 arrests.

is that too few or too many ?
PP, I don't know how many attended Parklife, but I bet that's more than .03% of the attendance.
