Police have announced that 32-year-old mother Cher Maximen and a man named Mussie Imnetu, who were attacked in separate incidents during the Notting Hill Carnival weekend, have lost their lives.
Nothing Hill is one of London’s oldest carnivals. Every year, thousands of people participate in this parade in different outfits, creating a huge celebration of peace and colour.
But at the last carnival, once again, the knives spoke more than the people, and two young people lost their lives. The Home Secretary made a statement expressing his sorrow, but the sorrow does not cover the increasing horror of knives.
Let’s be more specific. These stabbing incidents have become an incident that restricts people’s freedom. In some London districts such as Croydon, Catford and Mottingham, people are now afraid to go out at night. Drugs are being sold in front of the police on the streets, everyone sees it, but they continue to sell them.
If action is not taken, London will soon turn into one of the wild western cities of American movies. London Mayor Sadiq Khan now has to do something other than ULEZ. Otherwise, London could become one of the most dangerous cities in the world, just like Paris.
