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.

Post 1. "Police helicopter arrived at 1230 or so, doing lowest-possible-level circuits, perhaps attempt to identify protesters".
Post 2. "Helicopter left at 1410, back now [at dusk] at 1630. Information on rare event, not a complaint".
Post 3. "Much worse comes from the sky in other parts of the world than simply noise".Facts only. No reference to you or any of your posts. Each posted as 'Reply' to the original post, not as a 'Reply' to any of your posts. I don't care what you write, if I did I'd reply to you and challenge you. I've not done that.

Gordon,
You wrote: "I don't care what you write, if I did I'd reply to you and challenge you."But you did reply to me at around 20:27 yesterday. If my memory serves me right you suggested that I help Ruth to get her wall repaired and you told me to stop posting my comments. You then deleted your posting so we can’t check on your exact wording.“Facts only” what does that mean, is one not allowed to have an opinion? As for your comment "Much worse comes from the sky in other parts of the world than simply noise” that is just ridiculous. The fact that people in other parts of the world are being bombed doesn’t mean that we in the UK can’t protest about matters that concern us.

The Met has many flaws, but it's a bit much to suggest they're terrorists.

This was a tongue in cheek response to an inflammatory post that was subsequently deleted. For some reason it now looks as though it is a reply to your post.

Thanks for clearing that up. People who post in controversial discussions, wait for people to react and then delete their postings are a pain.

I'm less concerned about a noisy helicopter than I am the possibility that we have terrorists and/or terrorist sympathisers in our midst. I'm glad the police are there to keep us safe but I shudder to think how much it costs to do so.

Their supporters are still blocking Stanhope Gardens.

There are some people there all night I think, I've seen them the past few night in sleeping bags in the make-shift gazebo. Others standing facing the police cordon keeping watch. Some sort of vigil for the community centre?

Personally I think the amount of money and resources spent managing this was well over the top, seeing as they have no money. Why was there any need for helicopters to hover over for 5hours. Meanwhile another car window was smashed on our laddder road 3 streets down, and no police available . Rubbish
