Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
FIVE more years of Events in Finsbury Park?
HARINGEY Council prepares to commit to another 5-year
commercial exploitation deal for Events in Finsbury Park:
—————————————————————————————
At the Cabinet Member Signing at 1PM this Thursday, Cabinet Member Arkell or a substitute will lock the council into another half-decade deal with Festival Republic, the UK subsidiary of US giant global live-music monopoly, Live Nation.
The public are not ordinarily allowed into these little meetings, but at Agenda item seven, this is a specific exclusion (link above):
"Exclusion of Press & Public"
Just before item eight:
This EXEMPT item may discuss how the council will deal with the recent ruling in the High Court case involving Brockwell Park and how they will get around it.
For 11 years, intense and damaging commercial exploitation of Finsbury Park has been council Majority Group policy.

Clive, you must be wrong. No Haringey elected Leader would ever be associated with last minute informal badgering calls from a few Council staff; trying to rescue this shameless shambles of a consultation.
What on earth could they say?"Please, please. pretty please . . . Surely you can find at least one or two of your hundreds of members who knows that heavy machinery is brilliant for tree roots? And that loud jolly music is loved by wild life?
Listen, we're your friends. We know that if you try really hard you can find someone, or maybe someone's oddball architect uncle, who truly appreciates the clean lean, sharp, spare, classic postmodern lines of a steel wall that's just a teensy nine feet high,and a modest. one-and-a-half-miles long?
Don't be shy now. Don't we give you a grant? No? Okay, then a photo in the Haringey People Magazine.
Surely you can be honest and ignore the nay-sayers. And admit that you truly deeply love the adventure of a few weeks of sleepless summer nights.

Brevity and relevance, Alan. You should try it.
Another 8 words!

Vacuity and Boredom. Eric, try to avoid them.
Now Eric, please take your own advice and write something relevant about the topic under discussion on this website:Finsbury Park privatisation with Live Nation Corporation.
Have you actually got anything serious to say about that topic?
I have written what I think.
So far the relevance of what you have written is brief: zero.
Or more briefly nil.
Or if you prefer, 0
