Notting Hill Carnival

I was out buying stuff and Tamara told me Notting Hill Carnival was on, so I went. Or rather I walked with thousands of others from Paddington. I didn’t get to see the parade, but I saw a lot of people. On the way there a notice by a police van said that facial recognition software was being used. On the way back to Paddington station I looked in the police van and a man was scanning images on a screen, and outside a man in handcuffs was shouting out to his friends – ‘I don’t know why’ and ‘It wasn’t my fault’. I wonder how good the software is? The non sequitur of the two sentences next to on
