The media is immediately right there with the race-baiting, dog-whistle language as usual. "Gangs"? "Crime ingrained in the culture"? Racist shits.
It's a bloody festival, of course there are going to be drug dealers. At supposedly "nice, middle-cl…
I know begging is (unfortunately) banned in this country, but it seems very harsh to equate begging and indeed drug addiction with mugging. In my experience most beggars are polite and people in genuinely extremely dire circumstances, whether throug…
The question is to what extent the City North development will impact Fonthill road and the area around the Wells Terrace bus station in particular. It already has, to an extent, with the closed-off tube entrance (see lots of previous rightfully tee…
Perhaps you should keep your opinions to yourself, then, Jefke?
This is a teenager just getting to grips with qualitative vs quantitative research and probably doing their first major methodical research of their own. If you find the methods inade…
"Overlapping" - not just because it's te meeting point of three boroughs, but because the communities of the distinct areas that feed into it all intermingle there. Very different moods and community groups come down off Stroud Green Road, Blackstoc…
The fact that many people who end up committing heinous crimes like terrorism have mental issues does not exhonerate or lessen the issues of extreme ideology. Anything as complex as complex as human behaviour is dependent on several factors, and any…
Does anyone know if there will be a vigil or similar show of local community spirit tonight? It would be nice to show that we stand behind the victims.
First mention of the constituency in the Evening Standard today. So Nimco all the way, then? It'd be a fabulous upset.

@gardener-joe What? Weak at Bon Matin and Traiteur, sour and fussy at Vagabond, burnt at Italian Farmers, Costa and Starbucks, flavourless and sprinkled with Nesquick (!) at Vittorios... What have I missed? ^_^
OMG the coffee! Highly recommended. I've not had good coffee anywhere on our street before, but this was up there among the best in London - strong, distinct coffee flavour without being bitter, over-acidic or burnt. Fantastic!
The breakfast was lo…
I'm not a local politics expert by any means, and in fact live in that other SG constituency which is, er, rather less competitive, but I think it may depend on the way the election campaigning will be heading. H&WG is only the 41st Lib Dem targ…
I'm a transient person I suppose, in the sense that I moved in just over a year ago, but local in the sense of living in Stroud Green.
I live in a flatshare owned by a buy-to-let landlord who if I understand correctly has five or six different flat…
Happy to have the off-licence there in the arch next to Pret, the one inside the station is a bit unpleasant, overpriced and with staff that can be rude at times.
Does anyone know what the Irish connection is, though? They have a huge rack of regio…
I tried to do this over the weekend, but there was already one set up - unless we want it "claimed" and active, there should be one if you scroll down the list a bit.
Mind you, it's not exaclty centered with the place marker being at Albert Mews.
I've been wondering about the "We don't Buy Stolen Booze" posters at the Stroud Green Convenience Store, because it seemed like a thing store owners wouldn't do anyway. Apparently it's a thing, though.
I know it's around the corner, but I'm quite impresseed by Don & Co, the new bubble tea and chinese meal box place on Wells Terrace - their Bubble Tea is lovely, and I really want to try their meal boxes.
