Police warn over anarchist carnival

The police are looking more concerned over today's Carnival for Full Enjoyment, the anarchist event with possibly the greatest potential for disorder of any taking place this week. When we spoke to the police last night, a spokeswoman said the unlicensed carninal was likely to be very noisy but now the man in charge of G8 policing, assisant chief constable Ian Dickinson, is warning it is "inherently unsafe". Police advice to protesters is not to turn up; to businesses it is that the "prospect of significant disruption to premises" is increasing. You can read a statement here.
