Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Peray Ahmet talks about hate mail received following the recent street renaming
Guardian article here:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/06/i-hated-it-london-c...
From the article:
'Peray Ahmet, the leader of Haringey council, has said her inbox has been filled with messages from people objecting to the name change, much of it incredibly abusive. She said the council took steps to involve residents during discussions, including inviting them to consultations and to vote. “There was door-knocking, there were letter drops, there were a lot of attempts to engage with residents who live on the road. We did a lot of outreach on this.'

If you have evidence of her lying about abuse, I believe the right thing to do would be to report it.

How we love manipulative labelling such as the replacement of 'right-wing' or even 'conservative' by 'far right'. There is no more right-wing.

I do agree that unnecessary adjectives get bandied about too easily.
Would you say the people sending abuse to councillors are merely upright right wing people?

I am not sure why you are highlighting the abuse Perry Ahmed is supposedly getting. She has highly exaggerated the abuse she is receiving and in fact most of the tweets are questioning why when 81% of residents voted against the name change from all nationalities, why the council carried on and did it anyway costing unnecessary money. It appears to me that anyone who challenges her actions is deemed as abusing. I follow all her tweets and replies closely and a lot of her claims are unsubstantiated. Further her fellow ward Cllr made very offensive and inappropriate comments to me and she blankly ignored it. As far as reaching to residents, check the results as I said the answer was against the name change so what’s the point highlighting that they reached out when they ignore the wishes of the people.

Not highlighting, merely sharing that this is what she said in the Guardian. I don't have any knowledge of the rest of the contents of her inbox so can't comment. I don't really have a view of her myself, and I certainly don't have any rose-tinted views gd Haringey Council as a whole.
My only point is that if a debate is resulting in hate, maybe it's time to work out which hills people want to die on.

Anyone can make a statement to a newspaper who would then publish it to make money. As I said I follow her tweets closely and these claims are unsubstantiated. Maybe before highlighting an issue you should check whether there is an issue to start with. This is how false news gets spread on social media. NO offence intended.
