I read the area has youth unemployment at something like 50% and it's not like it's in the middle of nowhere? Also youth services has had 70% slashed from its budget, it's the kind of area that the Tories will always bleat why do these people vote Labour (That's if they vote anyone), why do they have such a mistrust of us?
Well they've again answered themselves, but they will willfully ignore that this is down to poor facilities, poor education, poverty, unemployment and most important of all Trust. They will claim its "Gangs" and "Ferals" like they even bloody understand what the word means.
The whole riot stems around mistrust mostly in the establishment, the orginal peaceful protest seems to have been around the shooting of this Duggan bloke. The problem is you have quotes such as the one below and its easy to see how this happened.
Quote:
South Bank University student Jake Manu, 28, said Mr Duggan's death and the subsequent lack of dialogue from the police triggered the riot.
But he said tensions - some racial - had been bubbling for a long time.
"The police never talk to us, they ignore us, they don't think we're human in this area," he said.
"We get pulled over all the time like criminals. If you're wearing a black hood, [if] you're a black man, they pull you over for no reason."
He said Tottenham had a bad reputation for drugs, with very few prospects for jobs, but not everyone behaved like the dealers and addicts.
"I'm from Tottenham, but I go to uni, I made myself good and got a job," he said.
"But if I wear like a hoody and walk in the road, they'll just call you, check you and search you - that's a breach of your human rights."
