Just wondering if anyone has noticed the large numbers of people gathering outside the Carlton Centre on Alpha Street/Choumert Road making huge amounts of noise (including music), or am I the only person who finds this extremely offensive and aggressive behaviour towards local residents?

Doesn't sound like an Eid party to me.


Most of my Moslem (of Moslem cultural backgrounds) friends drink (though, mainly, not to excess) - as a militant atheist of a Christian cultural background, I celebrate Christmas, many non-Moslems celebrate other cultural festivals, such as Eid or Divali, with their friends who do have these festivals in their cultural background.


If Christian cultural festivals were only to be celebrated by fully practicing Christians, shops in the UK would all be bust by now (OK huge generalisation, but most retailers make their profits in November-December) and chocolate sales (Easter) would plummet.


So drinking at an Eid party? - perfectly possible.

It's been like a party (on Saturday Evening) for a number of weeks now.


Hot weather ?

Yes, there are many that drink, but I assure you that it wouldn't happen at an Islamic gathering; particularly one that celebrates the most important occasion!


Besides, the ones that are not fully practising try to take part in religious events by adopting the "spirit" of the event and would respect the cultural norms. So unless they are an alcoholic I'm sure they would put down their drink for a few hours....

      Mahmood says she could......

      My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.

      Worth calling ahead as sometimes they can’t accept large donations

      Thanks, I'd thought about that, but I'd still have to park, and it's very near a bus stop. Good idea to call the shop and see whether/when there may be less busy times to go, thanks.

      Where are the far left in all of this flag business? Thats a red herring  there is the far right leading this nonsense, a lot of people following them who claim to be ordinary people (but very little digging and oh guess what) and them there is everyone else (right, centre, left) opposing them    there is no “both-sides” on this
