Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Wood Green Riot 45 Years ago this month
On 7th July, 45 years ago Britain's cities were hit with rioting. The "Soaraway Sun" published the following piece about a riot in Wood Green.
(The attached images were run through an AI engine to try and improve the legibility of the text. Oddly some engines struggle with text in images. So I've added the original images as attachments below)
A little more about the riot here on HoL.

Wondering where the heck Marplee lane was, I went to the image and found this gem :
What the AI has as "another shopkeeper's courage saved his business" was actually "another shopkeeper's courage landed him in hospital"!

Yes, there’s no doubt that this pair of images is a good example of the current limitations of AI. I’m a bit perplexed by it. Time and time again AI fails to read text which is obvious to me and where it’s not obvious just makes it up. The letter I can understand: the former I can’t.
