August 2021 sees the 10th anniversary of the police shooting of Mark Duggan on the streets of Tottenham and the nationwide riots that followed. But what is it about Tottenham? Over the last four decades, more than any other area of Britain more than St Pauls in Bristol, more than Toxteth in Liverpool, more even than Hackney or Notting Hill or Brixton in London, Tottenham has become synonymous with violent clashes between the police and the Black community - violent clashes that often spill out onto the rest of the country. And community activist Stafford Scott has been there through all of them. As such he is a living part of Black British history. So we are honoured to have him join us as our guest. In this episode he takes us through the history of Tottenham and their struggles with the Met Police, from the Broadwater Farm Riots in 1985, to the shooting of Mark Duggan in 2011, to the tasering of his own brother in 2020.

Community campaigner Stafford Scott discusses the gangs matrix and why institutional racism within the police is leading to failure and costing lives on the streets. The gangs matrix is a database that fuels the violence it purports to be trying to stop. It needs a complete overhaul. Stop and search will inflame a bad situation. He explains why you need to invest in families and communities as the way out of gang violence. You can not police your way out of this situation. The interview ends with the usual 'hard questions' that need rebutal.  His article in the Guardian is https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/12/metropolitan-police-gangs-matrix-racist-policing?CMP=share_btn_tw
