    A lot of yoof involved in postcode based nonsense goes on thereabouts -15 year olds carrying blades who just don't give a sh1t and fear no one. Very often no father figures on the scene.

    There are nice spots up around Alexandra Palace and Muswell Hill.

    Yeah he said people were pushing him as well. Wouldn't like to be in the midst of it myself tbh, mob mentality seems to have taken over.

    You would think these people would be thanking the police for killing a man who carried a gun around in their community. Well, you would if you didn't know what some areas of London are like.

    A ****ed up bunch of people with a ****ed up set of morals. We really are seeing the dregs of humanity on our tv screens tonight. An embarrassment to Britain.

    Most of Tottenham is actually lovely, the houses are lovely big red-brick victorians, the parks are fantastic and very well maintained, it's on the Lea Valley which is gorgeous. The council is Haringey which is just about the best council in London so the facilities, gyms, libraries, etc, are top-notch for a low council tax. Only 15 minutes from Oxford Circus by the fastest tube line. But christ do so many of the people there make it a horrible hole of place.

    I lived there from '05-'08 and found it such a weird place. It should be fantastic but it's a complete nightmare. I lived about a 90 second walk from where the footage of the riots is and I really wouldn't be surprised if about half of my old neighbours are involved. I really feel for some of my other (nice) neighbours if they still live there.

    Riot in Tottenham... oh, it'll be all excitement & promise at the start... but inevitably peter out with nothing to show for all the hubbub.

    I'd actually had Fulham down for a riot & Tottenham for a four all brawl...

    Following a reporter on twitter who is at the scene. He's saying tv crews have been beaten and mugged! Wonder if that's why sky and bbc aren't live right now?

    The Koreans know how to have a proper riot, not mindless thuggery that the Irish and English knackers get up too.

    Jeez going by that they were down as far as Bruce Grove an hour ago, I would hate to be there right now, the roads off tottenham high road are like a rabbit's warren, it must be very frightening for the residents. Bludy thugs!

    Lots of the shots on Sky and the BBC are at the end of Bruce Grove, where the Winkworth estate agency is. The riots have gone further up the High Road than that as Iceland and Aldi have both been looted. And there are rumours that it's going on as far as Broadwater as that's where Duggan lived. I lived on Woodside Gardens, just off Bruce Grove, so if the rumours are true there is probably some trouble on my old street.

    So glad I'm not there now, especially as my husband worked a lot of nights.
