Don't be scared. Have the minerals to finish what you started on a public forum at least.
If you made a sweeping statement in error, it's OK to admit to this, you may attract some funnies or even some likes for saying it.
If there are however specifics you are referring to then you owe it to those reading and engaging with you now some clarity. Because guess what, there are people on here right now who are from the area or have family and friends from the area that you are (without further clarification) calling scum.
No, are you going to ask for any other posts to be removed today or does this faux outrage only apply to myself and others that you feel are your detractors.
If you like PM me, this faux outrage is all a bit much if you ask me.
Anyone who called Tottenham residents scum would be asked to explain themselves.
A lot of people here are the residents you talk of.
I take this as a bottle job then.
Take it how you want.
Its not faux its genuine fury. I have lived, worked and visted tottenham all my life. Played football as a kid on the Lordship Rec drank in its Pubs. I think its is fucking outrageous for a tottenham fan living in spain to post on a tottenham Forum that the tottenham area is "full of scum" and then to play games around what he meant. I know what you meant and everone else is tired of your toxic bollocks.
I have. You've clearly not got the minerals.
Minerals? On a keyboard?
I haven't called the people of Tottenham scum and if a couple of wankers on the internet want to think otherwise it's no skin off my nose.

I spent a lot of time during the original lockdown rediscovering Tottenham on a fair few of my daily walks. Some of the old buildings that i had forgot about[even though i walk past them a lot] was disgraceful. I came to the conclusion that Tottenham as a town is a beautiful old place that has had a lot of shit happen to it . You just have to look beyond the bad stuff, incredible hard at times, but possible.

Considering the gentrification of a significant amount of East London, I love these ''shitholes''. Gems.
Those that describe them as such are generally racially motivated and haven't stepped foot in them forever.
Same kind of mob that would step out the train station in Brixton and feel fear.
You go anywhere with good intentions yourself and you'll generally be met with the same in kind.
Good points
I love the old buildings in the place ,The Whitbread brewery, the quakers house[where Tottenham Cakes were originally made],the old pump, the various old churches particularly All hallows, Tottenham Cemetery.
And many of the old pubs, the ones that are left. The partner of a friend has taken over the bluecoat pub, which use to be Pride of Tottenham. Hopefully she makes ago of it when we come out of this. That is a very historical building as well, which many didn't know about .Its the old Blue girls school.
I think it was in between the lockdowns.
To be fair, if she can hold her nerve its a money maker when normal crowds are allowed back.Its a decent pub, does a bit of grub as well.
That is good news, previous management were absolutely useless.
Will definatley give it a chance when we get back
It's going to be curious to see the landscape of Tottenham when we're allowed out of our cages.
