One Sunlit Uplands reader in London has strongly criticized a post from last month as misrepresenting twenty-first century Britain. That particular post and the accompanying video laments how unchecked immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness are destroying traditional British culture.
The following video shows how Caribbean street gangs ended the Notting Hill Carnival, Britain's largest street festival, this past week. For more than two hours street thugs battled police, throwing broken bottles and other debris at police and bystanders.
Prior to the Carnival, police foiled a plot for even greater mayhem. According to the Daily Mail, "members of south London gangs were arming themselves for the bank holiday event this month with an arsenal of weapons including a handgun, CS gas canisters and stun guns."

Those detained included 10 people who had warrants outstanding for their arrests.
Some 37 were taken into custody for drug offences, six for possessing offensive weapons and eight for assault.
Seven pit bull type dogs were also seized by officers under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
Chief Insp Jo Edwards of the Metropolitan Police said the number of arrests was "slightly higher than normal."
Last year 82 arrests were made on the Sunday.
Officers were given extra powers to stop and search potential criminals in a bid to crack down on violence that has marred the street festival in recent years.
