Anyone recognise the group of young guys who always seem to be hanging outside the betting shop by the Tesco at Turnpike Lane Station? Are they the same group who were ASBOed off Duckett's Common? I've seen the same guys just hanging there about half a dozen times over the last few weeks. Definitely not there to have a flutter on the GGs...

I'm sure you're a decent person Sharon but I find it bizarre that you say 'I'm not on anyone's side'. How could anyone not be on the side of, for example, a terrified man in his 80s or a lone woman walking along the pavement being harassed and abused by a gang of drug dealers ?
'What, ideally would you like to happen?'
I'd like there to not be a gang of drug dealers standing in the same place every day harassing and abusing local residents.
Doesn't seem like too much to ask.
The police came around pretty quickly to get the guys mugging people in the passage when "someone" mentioned taking the matter into their own hands. Just saying.
Personally I am still thinking of John Belushi and would point out that this is ALSO a freedom of speech issue. If there is a law to quieten little boys like this it will be used to quieten legitimate political dissent. Oh... wait.
I still dont know if we're talking about little boys or grown men (Wood Green is not on my circuit). Groups of men are always always seen as threatening to most people. Teenagers - up to say 13 - ok. 15+, they have a lot to prove to each other and all they have left is their sad interpretation of masculinity, so it comes up as their first offering, and it's a bit crap, hence their unstoppable harassment of young women.
I agree TBD, it's the only way something will happen, although it seems strange they've been allowed to get away with it for so long but as I say Inspector Craig Middleton who I've spoken to a few times recently agrees it's a ridiculous situation that people shouldn't have to put up with and says he's determined to do something about it.
Hi Pamish - we're talking about a very well known group of local drug dealers in their 20s and 30s
Hmmm. So telling their mums probably not so useful. Except their mums are still doing their washing I bet.
It may help - low level street dealers often still live with their mums.
