H&H: Kanye West Wireless debacle shows Haringey's lack of control

——————————————

At least some residents will be relieved that Haringey's Entertainment Queen has today lost her throne and been ushered out of her Palace by a peasants' revolt.

However there will be questions for the incoming Green Administration to ask about the relationship between (a) the old New Labour crew and (b) the convicted monopolist of global live music, Live Nation.

In our Finsbury Park.

Not least, questions about the lawfulness of the actions to bind the incoming Administration and whoever forms the council in 2030, to a new five year exploitation contract, 18 months before the current one expired.

It stinks.

In any event, the Cabinet Member's Signing, slipped in shortly before purdah, demonstrated contempt for democracy.

Needed: fewer Clowns, more Bread and fewer Circuses.
