<p>Hi <a rel="nofollow" href="https://harringayonline.com/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=0kcm76ksokj9h">JJ B</a>, I do not support any political party, I was just trying to make it clear that local council elections are not like National Elections. With council elections, there does seem to be more extremists who have joined the Labour Party as they know they are very likely to win. Many who have their own agenda and Haringey have over the last 50 years has had a number of extremists elected to senior positions who the Labour Head Office would never allow or support them to to run to become an M.P.. and yes all parties national and local these days have too many very good talkers/debaters who have as much logical intelligence as a brick. Just look at many parliamentary debates.</p>
<p>Infact in the 1960’s I joined the labour party to go to the Red Rose comedy club on the Seven Sisters Road & the labour party club in Wood Green where Bernie Grant was a regular, and often just went around the tables, sitting down to talk with us (teenagers) asking how we were and if we had any problems. He actually went out of his way to talk to anyone, and nothing to do elections. He was just a nice person.</p>
