Would anyone apart from drug dealers and trendy lefties give a damn if the

Given the vast number of people who go to Carnival (presumably) out of
their own free-will, I'd say 'yes', quite a few people would give a
damn.

You can't argue with the sheer number of people who will be going,
this year. Very few of whom will be drug dealers. I'd expect there are
people from all parts of the political spectrum there, too ... so not
just 'lefties'.

Its free. Make them may the price of the V festival or glastonbury and then
see how many show up. I'd wager there'd be more people on the floats than
in the crowd.
