I like the way all the papers are going out of their way to call the
carnival "mostly peaceful". Two people were shot and one was stabbed in
three separate incidents! You might as well call the First World War
mostly peaceful because most of the time was spent sat in trenches.

So do you think that the First World War was a big party to which a
million people were attracted, including a couple who were inclined to
start fights?

Bloimey, there I was thinking that the First World War involved the
authorities ordering people to shoot other people, and providing them
with weapons.

No, you're thinking of Operation Kratos.
