Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Police vans and cordon Portland Gardens
Police activity, several vans and a cordon, across Portland Gardens earlier this morning. A small crowd of people gathered. Anyone have any information on what's going on?
Seems to be ending now, 9am.

That helicopter has been very annoying and hard to concentrate on anything today. Music and dancing has stopped for a bit, then speeches, going on with drumming back. I think this rally is meant to end at 8pm. Some quiet time would be good now.

Much worse comes from the sky in other parts of the world than simply noise.

One police helicopter costs the same to run annually as a few hundred police cars. It creates a phenomenal amount of CO2, and there is little evidence that they help prevent crime: all they do is upset residents with noise pollution. Now that relatively cheap drones are widely available, there is no justification- even civil disorder- for police officers to have a jolly in their flying machines. Give the helicopters to the air ambulance service and the RNLI.

I’m all for helicopters that assist with chases, criminals on the move and obviously air ambulance but I’m not really sure about the level of crowd control required from the sky in this instance, especially with a strong police presence on the ground?
