Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
It will only ever be Black Boy Lane
I'm still shaking my head at this. The Council has spent so much on something noone wants. I don't know why the English don't stand up to this sort of thing. It would never happen in Turkey or Greece. This guy sums it up perfectly.

Well it seems the local Black communities might welcome a reversion to the road's real name. This lady is definitely taking no prisoners.

That lady is not a local. And as for overturning the decision and reverting to the old name I thought people on here were keen on saving public funds not spending more money on signs, consultations, and helping people change their addresses. If. changing a name is a waste of money then so is changing it back.

I really doubt, considering the council's already brief response on Twitter, I think as quoted somewhere here, that they're going to spend any more time & money on this matter simply because of a You Tube video that has few views. That would certainly lead to valid accusations of going against majority opinion & wasting public money. + I see no petitions currently set up on this.

She just reads the Daily Mail article and says things like “No black people were involved in this”

She simply highlights that it wasn't changed because of any concerns raised by Black people and that it was simply virtue signalling by the council leaders. The money wasted is a secondary issue. They should correct the mistake and revert to the real name.
After all if the council dug a hole in the wrong place you'd expect them to pay to fill it in again.

Why are we looking to Canada and Turkey and Greece to learn how to English properly in Haringey?

No, she says that no black people were involved which will come as a surprise to Mr Ejifor. She also has an interesting video questioning whether we live in a virtual simulation and thinks we live somewhere called the city council of Tottenham borough. Her insights are on par with those of my cat.

Radio 4, this morning, between 9 & 9.30, More or Less about to look at the cost of the renaming.

I was confidently assured on this forum that the cost was going to be at least £500k. Something must have gone terribly wrong. I hope the council aren't cheaping out on us.
