Remember When A Fair Was A Place To Have Fun?

Bootle

"I don’t know how she got out of there with the marks she did, because it was very violent everywhere. The kids went into a riot because two of them had just been attacked by adults, of course that is going to cause a conflict.
"One of them asked for a £7 refund, just joking about it because they were asked to leave. But they think they can lay their hands on children, they can’t do that, it is absolutely disgusting.
"The kids were assaulted by five men, they were all protecting each other."

Greenwich:

Police have arrested three people after a “number of incidents of violence” and reports of a stabbing near a funfair at a south London common.
Officers swooped to Blackheath Common on Tuesday evening to a number of assaults and a reported stabbing.

I wonder what the common denominator is...?

I hope you're not suggesting that there is some kind of stereotype involved in this harmless fun?

I believe it is traditional at this point to recite the sacred words: The father was not available for comment.

Father??
What father? The Police know him as IC3 male, others UNK.
