Help! Is Gospel Oak the new wild west?

God, I'm living in the fucking wild west here. 2 people stabbed in an off licence around the corner yesterday, and I just went to my off licence to get some restorative balm for my psyche, to find cops everywhere and this particular licensee was stabbed this morning. Is it mad Muslims (there are a lot around here) who want to see the end of these establishments, or is it that this is Gospel Oak, and as I've referred to it in my mad blog My Life Oy Vey, just scum city? Anyone got a spare room?
