This is St Margaret's Road in Tottenham, normally a quiet row of terraced houses, but more recently the theatre for a battle that has been rousing the tabloids. It's where Julian and Samantha Mosedale and family were apparently turfed from their newly renovated home by a gang of Romanian squatters, forced to rent locally and called racist by the police when they complained. They're now back in their home, which - according to reports - has been trashed... and the squatters have moved down a few hundred years to Strode Road, where they're either renting or have taken over an apartment. The reporting has been distinctly manipulative (suggesting there was nothing the Mosedales could do... when - in fact - they received a fast-tracked court order and the squatters were forced to leave, and resulting - in the case of at least one Daily Mail comment - in calls for the BNP to sort this out). Obviously, their position is upsetting, and the fact that they've been put to considerable expense very unfair. But - at this point - the tabloids are in danger of starting a race riot in a quiet corner of N17.
