Inside London's Most Feared Hood 🇬🇧

I returned to London to check out the most dangerous and roughest areas in the city however this time I came to Tottenham, this area in north London has a notorious reputation. That being said I came anyway and was shown around by the locals ‪@TeaAndCrumpets‬ who shown me many sides to Tottenham, the good and the bad.
Is this London's most dangerous area? Let's find out!
Huge thanks to ‪@TeaAndCrumpets‬ once again! Go check out their page.

I was born in Tottenham in 1955 and lived my first 25 years there. I have been married to an Asian for almost 40 years and throughout my life, the majority of my friends have been black or Asian. However, objectively, there is no doubt that the decline in Tottenham is the result of wide-scale immigration. Not the Windrush generation who settled in the Mount Pleasant Road/Black Boy Lane area who were almost without exception law abiding people but it is later generations.

[@JamesSmith-ny2gb]

Blaming immigration is an easy conclusion to a complex issue

Its a absolute discrase that the politicians turn a blind eye, and pretend their doing a good job. The whole country needs overhauling and refurbishing, they done it before just after ww2 in a dire financial situation, they done it the 60's and 70's and f'ed it up but atleast they tried. They desperately need to find away to do it again now, because the problem isnt going to go away its going to get worse. This is meant to be G.B, they need to show a lot more pride in their country, from the smallest council estate to the biggest city.

[@mickpowell8503]

The problem is Councils spend money unchecked. Tower Hamlets brings in millions from Canary Wharf alone but there is so much waste on vanity projects that they need to strip it back to basics, focus on essential categories that need Money and deal with the basics of giving good support to life. If there is any money left then go and plant a tree or whatever nonsense wokery sucks cash from the basics. Councils act like small dictator states within a state. It all needs a complete overhaul. £42,855 - £46,053 for an Enforcement officer, this is basically a bod in a Uniform going around fining people for dropping a fag butt.

I was around Tottenham in May 2011 to watch my team (Birmingham City) play. After the game (where there were one or two scuffles) we ended up in some estate nearby where they'd parked our coach. The coach I was on wasn't a normal fans coach but rather one run by the Zulus, the old school hooligans. It was fascinating that even in a high crime area like that, that we still needed what must have been 100 police officers just to guard our coach and keep us contained. What was also fascinating was the reaction of the local especially in the flats, it was like they were amazed at seeing police that weren't looking for THEM.

😂if a white criminal is killed by police everyone says good riddance, if he’s black he’s a victim, and everyone riots, that’s just the sad reality of Britain today. And will become a big problem in the future. The link between black people and Islam baffles me because nobody has been more cruel to black peoples than Arab Muslims.

9:27 It's a bit ironic saying don't listen to the media, it's not that dangerous, and then claiming that you can easily be intimidated and robbed through walking through what is essentially public ground...

However, it seems that it's always the British people who engage in such behavior when it comes to the UK. Please refrain from posting cringe-worthy comments. It's no wonder that outsiders, such as the USA and Australia, perceive you as stuck-up and rude. You uphold that stereotype, making Americans look good in comparison💀
