New post: 23 Hampton Rd, on the Woodgrange estate: a house, factory, synagogue and home of convicted WW2 food rationing culprit. Strange history of oddly shaped house on otherwise very ordered estate. www.E7-NowandThen.org

This ludicrous charade shames the UK. They could stop it with a stroke of the pen

Eight stages of loss Yesterday I blogged about the need for electoral reform in local government and mentioned an Electoral Reform Society paper, Towards One Nation: the Labour Case for Electoral Reform. That features …

Here’s a thing I wrote 12 years ago (!) about how one-party state councils eventually collapse. Back then I said #Newham was at stage 3. Now it’s stage 5 and moving rapidly towards 6. forestgate.net/2014/05/07/e...

Quite! Mandelson gets his message out, without being questioned. He still plays the media and they still fall for his tricks. Name the sources of the β€œwe understand” quotes promoting the Mandelson line. Flush out the conveyors of this disgusting man’s messages.

1/2 And the press continue to play Mandelson’s game. Most recent reports of him re Epstein routinely say he was asked to comment but he declined. They then repeat he has rejected criticisms of him and then play the β€œit is understood” game. I.e. they quote his β€œoff the record” PR’s position. m/f

New development proposals for Forest Gate’s Durning Hall imminent. Don’t hold your breath. Company is less than three years old, barely trading, one 27-year old director. One of 93 companies registered at an address in Ilford.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

If Trump’s concern was drugs, he’d not have pardoned Honduras’s corrupt leader; if terrorism, he’d have gone after Iran; if world order, Russia; if preserving US power, China. If democracy, human rights or humanitarian motive, dozens of other worthy cases. What’s left is oil. And Epstein.

Not so. Eze and his agent were happy for him to go to Spurs. They, like Parish, were endlessly frustrated by Levy’s backsliding and prevarication on the terms of a deal he had agreed. A key Arsenal injury and they slipped in and offered what Levy had offered, before he wriggled around. Levy lost job

Levy paid the price for agreeing a deal with Palace, then trying to undercut it. Arsenal simply paid the price Levy agreed and then quibbled over. Levy had form on trying to low ball clubs. Eze was the last straw for Spudz owners and he got sacked for playing silly buggers. Simple.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Bowie at V&A east storehouse. The exhibits are excellent, but it’s the archive side, complete with replica documents to leaf through, that really introduces people to the archive. People kept checking they were allowed to look at them but then sat fascinated for ages.
