“Organisers of Ghana Party in the Park, also known as Shattafest UK, at Copthall Playing Fields in Barnet, London, said the event was stopped following a “major incident” at about 18:00 BST on Saturday.
The Metropolitan Police said a fire had started near the gates, which meant they were closed temporarily.
A crowd built up, and there was a surge when the gates reopened, it said.
Organisers said the decision to end the festival was made on health and safety grounds.”
Possibly the most aptly named festival in years?
I think so.
Pass the chiggun.

‘A fire started near the gates’.
Presumably by spontaneous combustion.
Which just goes to prove that climate change is racist.
Professor Lenward says 15 trillion in climate reparations will fix it.

That pic in the BBC story is very amusing.
Looks like a Planet of the Apes: Hillsborough Edition.

In the midst of the fire and the crush, at least 12 female hominids got pregnant with future welfare drains.

I thought Glasto was Shattafest. It seems I’m not the only one. When asked if his pop group would be performing next year, Mr L Gallagher wrote on Twatter:
‘It’s not happening, so all you croc wearing, flag waving shit cunts can calm the fuck down.’
As articulate as ever.

It’s rather telling that they had to make this statement.
“ We would like to clarify that there were no incidents of stabbing and deaths as [was] being speculated.”
Presumably because it all went belly up at 6pm.
They make that sound like an achievement.
