Great news on funding for the Notting Hill Carnival.
A whole pound. I’m sure that will make all the difference with those “critical public safety concerns”.
Don’t spend it all at once.
It reminded me of the story when this guy missed his jugular vein by “just” 1m.
I don’t know if it was meant to be a centimetre or a millimetre, but either way, it’s clearly not much of a story if it’s a metre, given that that is pretty much the distance from your neck at which chainsaws routinely operate.
Just like I’m not sure if that’s actually a million pounds above, but it certainly would be a story if they’d saved the Notting Hill Carnival by finding £1 of extra funding.
Of course, there’s a bit of a more serious issue here: the continuing slide in standards of journalism.
But at least it makes for decent blog fodder.
