however, there IS trouble. the trend i referred to of black vs bengali strife is down to two schools being closed down in hackney
What strikes me is that one of the causes of the upsurge is purely economic, but the tabloids report it as if it is just down to moral issues like kids being evil or badly parented, or "PC-madness" in schools.
Schools being closed in Hackney is definitely a cause, as is the closure of a lot of youth facilities because the council screwed up its accounts a few years back. (If in doubt, blame Hackney Council...)
didn't know about this. what's a good source for local info btw, wd you recommend the gazette?
There's a cop shop just across the road too, though I've no idea how often it contains any real live cops.
