The junction at Tufnell Park, next to the station, is not one of the London's most desireable areas. Most nights into the early hours drunks and aggressive youths disturb the peace and make life generally intolerable for residents. You don't feel safe walking the streets.

I know- I live there, in a flat very close to the Grand Banks in Tufnell Park.

The other day I watched several police "videomen" filming people as they left the the Grand Banks.

Now tell me this- why does a room full of relatively peaceful activists get the police out in full force while "real" crime goes un-policed?

Why?

Tell me- why?
