The Clouds of Disparity over North London.

The Clouds of Disparity over North London.

The clouds of disparity are still there as the issue of law and order management has become more complicated in the United Kingdom. After the August 2011 riots and the recent arrest of some extremist elements that had planned to bomb important financial places including stock exchange of London, further exacerbated the fear of insecurity across the country. The last year disturbances that started from North London have left unsettled dust in the area while mafia groups, criminal gangs and extremist networks started the reorganization of their operations with new tactics. They are now stronger as they proved their ability of loot, burn and defeat the Britain most trusted police force.

In Tottenham, North London, where I experienced many new things including the sense of insecurity among the residents due to the prevailing criminal culture, burglary, racism, mobile snatching, benefit fraud and extremist tendencies. This part of London is considered to be a hub of al Shabab extremist network and presents a frightening picture. Members of the groups openly hear lectures of Osama bin Laden in houses and Internet cafes every day. All kinds of lectures of Osama bin Laden are available here in the form of cassettes and CDs.

On January 20, 2012, while two face-covered men attempted to enter my house with the intention of burglary, I called the local police immediately. Later on, a police officer told me that the area where I live in is a high burglary area and a hub of some extremist groups. The police officer who described a frightening story of the boiling pot of the area, was, interestingly a writer who have authored two to three books and working on another relevant topic.

Communities in Haringey borough are reeling after two violent crimes happened in January 2012 that left one man dead and one injured just two KM away from my house. Councillor David Schmits and MP of Wood Green were weeping on their compulsion and deteriorating relations within the communities while police was just running here and there. The 2011 London riots unmasked the transmogrified face of racist, extremist and mafia groups who organized the burning and looting campaign across the country. They succeeded in their nefarious design by looting and burning properties and disrupting communication system.

These abruptly emerged violent incidents were a surprise for law enforcing agencies as they quickly spread to every village and town in the country. To permanently intercept such violent incident, experts again warned that unless changes in British law enforcement strategies and European Human Rights Laws are brought about, such incidents can repeatedly be experienced in near future. These incidents and the involvement of war criminals and extremist elements that live in Britain under the umbrella of European Human Rights Laws, conflagrated relations between Brussels and London.

Britain has become profitable heaven for European criminals gangs and mafia groups including Uppsala mafia, Bruinsmadrug, Holleeder gang, Mieremet gang, Dutch Antillian drug gangs, Plasgang,Corsican mafia, Unicone Corse, Brise de mer gang, Mad Jacky gang, Cahill gang,Gilligan gang, Foley gang, Romani clans, Romanian Gypsy Clans and other criminal gang group.

Italian and Russian mafia is best known for criminal activities in Britain. Police and UK Border Agency are struggling to expel them but failed, fighting over 300 criminal gangs, but failed and now planning to bring some changes in the immigration and rights law in the country. Criminal gang's war on the UK streets and markets is another problem that caused fear and harassment.

In North London, specifically, from Seven Sister to Tottenham, European mafia groups and gangs have frightened the residents mentally. The house I rented on January 18, 2012, has been the centre of their criminal activities in the past as they left a shameful record of fraud and organized crimes. In pursuit of Romanian criminal gangs, three police officers told me that European criminal mafia has established dangerous networks in North London. Most criminal gangs in London Borough of Haringey including Tottenham gangs are being run by Muslim and non-Muslim mafia groups.

In North London, gangs dominated by different categories of people rely more and more on children of schools and colleges. Some experts are of the opinion that criminal gangs receive huge profit from trafficking of people and drugs trafficking, fraud, banking scams and other forms of high-level organized crime. Recently, Serious Organized Crime Agency warned that tactic allowed foreign criminals to be brought into Britain legitimately on work permits. Scotland Yard understands that majority of organized criminal gangs are cultural networks whose members share a foreign nationality.

In 2011, Police Commissioner revealed that UK is home to an estimated 38,000 gangsters in 6,000 gangs. How these criminal gangs are to be talked and how the police can restore the confidence of communities is the central question. While talking to a member of Somali extremist group, I proposed the coordination among the police, State agents and council's .State agent must share Information of tenants with council and the police. Local police stations have no complete knowledge about the people live in their areas. Who is who nobody knows?

They have no information about the activities of their areas criminal gangs. The police must have coordination with both the councils and property dealers or state agent and they all need to share information. Some experts understand that if the situation remains the same, the business of looting and burning will repeatedly come into the street of London again as various known criminal gangs in this part of London all too often taking their business seriously.

There are no social programes in the area, no job, no social interaction among the communities and the police. These and other things have created the climate of fear and sense of insecurity here. In Tottenham, local library is miserable while the rate of literacy is going down every day due to unemployment and poverty.
