“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.

Sounds good.

I couldn’t make it this year
but definitely be there next.

‘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.

Front rank fire! Rear rank fire, reload! Volley fire..
Problem solved..

Thousands of simians chimping out in an enclosed space?
What could possibly go wrong?

We have the Notting hill riot with a soundtrack this weekend and I’m very close to ground zero.
I’m thinking of running a sweepstake for how many stabbings, rapes and murders they can rack up during their epic two day category 5 chimpout.

Oh come on Odin, you really do exaggerate! See this light-hearted picture of Harriet Harman taking a carefree stroll round her London constituency;

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

a big sheet of velcro was used to take the injured to hospital by helicopter

Ho ho, that was fucking hilarious, MNC!
I’ve got a brilliant mental image of that.
Reckon you could dangle about 100 of the fuckers from a chinook!

So the Notting Hill stab fest is not enough for the monkeys..
And I’m repeatedly told these foreigners are as British as me?
So why are they celebrating Ghana.. James garner and I’m there.. love a bit of the rockford files..
Dancing with your arse showing and monkey bush meat, I’ll pass..

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

Sheboons are also known as felon factories for this reason..

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.

The local knife sharpeners were gutted, field marshal..

The very fact that statement was issued Fieldy and reported without qualification by the BBC tells you a lot. Imagine a statement to inform us that there were no stabbings at the Proms this year. It would be regarded as utterly bizarre, questions would be asked in the House.

Couldn’t believe it was happening HERE. Whilst we had that many, they should’ve set them alight.

SHIT-A-FEST
Just leave a turd as your entrance fee.

Music festival?
It looks more like an NHS Recruitment Open Day.

The short video on the BBC article warns of Distressing Content.
They aren’t fucking wrong there.
That grass will never recover after being burned and trampled on by those knuckle draggers, after the weather we’ve had.
It’s a disaster!

It doesn’t say how many emergency service personnel were hospitalized.
Due to the overwhelming stench 🤢
Fucking savages.
Good morning 👍

If they want to celebrate Ghana’s “culture” fuck off back there and stay.

Seriously though.
Once the dust has settled and the funerals have been taken place after this years Notting Hill Stabfest, there’ll be another debate about moving it to an enclosed and controlled space.
This proves that even that wouldn’t be safe.
We’re not talking about Tabitha and Tarquin skipping gayly through the gates at Glastonbury here.
These aren’t normal people (although there’s a valid debate about the intellectual capacity of Glastonbury clientele)
Maybe if they made it exclusively black entry only, that would make any deaths or serious injury much less senseless.
