Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
4 weeks until we elect a new government!!
Just a reminder that Harringay is now a part of the new Hornsey and Friern Barnet constituency. Catherine West our Labour candidate had been MP for the previous constiuency for the past 9 years. Over the last year Catherine has spent a lot of time in Harringay ward and will be out and about here over the next few weeks. Say hello if you see her, she's really friendly and likes nothing better than engaging with voters.
If you would like any information about the campaign message me via HOL. If you would like to show your support for Catherine and a change of government why not put up a poster of a garden stake. Both are free, just contact me and I'll arrange delivery.

Philip, I detached from Facebook quite a while ago. But if you were making an informed and reasonable argument I would like to see what you posted on Catherine West's page. I don't know her closely as I live in Tottenham Constituency ). However the experience of friends who know Catherine reasonably well is not of someone who refuses to engage in open and civil debate.
I'm not a Zionist nor have ever wanted to join Labour Friends of Israel. But there are some remaining socialists in the Labour Party. And there are still Leftists in Israel/Palestine. I would not seek to prevent people visiting that country especially if they take the opportunity to see the Apartheid and ethnocentrism for themselves. Rather than listen to or read the propaganda churned out by the Israeli State machinery.

A gentle reminder. I'd still like to read what you posted on Catherine West's facebook page.

It's surprising how few people know about these boundary changes which are quite significant. Some Wood Green wards (including mine) will be part of a constituency which will stretch up between Enfield and Barnet all the way to the M25. Some of these were/are affluent Conservative areas, although down in the polls generally it may still tip the almost permanent Labour status quo.

A question for the local political party activists
What is your approach wrt encouraging young adults to vote and address the issues which affect them?

I have hopes that this newly defined constituency may be more sympathetic to the liberal democrats, as it has taken away that massive labour block that was to the east side of green lanes and into Tottenham

Mr Bosch, are you a LibDem member? If not, why not if you wan that party to succeed?
If you'd like a political party to win, the way to help that happen is to volunteer for it. NOT to wait for the ward or constituency boundaries to be rejigged. (Gerrymandered.)
(As you may know the word "gerrymander" was inherited from a Boston U.S. politician.

By the way, at one time Haringey Liberal Democrats seemed on the way to match the number of Labour Council seats. And they had a LibDem MP, Lynne Featherstone.

Earlier today I promised to check and post the link for the video I referred to with the Israeli journalist Amira Hass.
It was last month on Democracy Now website hosted by Amy Goodman.

I have just viewed a video interview with a U,S. army intelligence officer who has resigned his post, This is because he disagrees with the work he is required to do; using aerial information to assist the Israeli forces in Gaza.
Harrison Mann's resignation letter refers to "nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel … has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians."He says there are no U.S. forces involved on the ground.

I suggest that if Labour wins the General Election - or takes power as part of a coalition - and if David Lammy and Catherine West retain their seats - they may be placed in a similarly complicit moral position.
Here's the link.
