Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
“All foreigners need deporting”
All foreigners need deporting
… is alleged to have been posted by Haringey Councillor Sheila Peacock in a WhatsApp Group.
Today, the Haringey Community Press reported that Cllr Peacock has been suspended by Labour after deport foreigners message.
Sheila Peacock is no stranger to ill-considered statements.
As the Mayor of Haringey several times, would Cllr Peacock not have officiated at UK naturalisation ceremonies at the Civic Centre?
Sheila Peacock is a Labour candidate for South Tottenham in the May 2026 local elections, but one has to wonder if she would not feel more at home in the Party of Nigel Farage.

I’m 66 so you’ll need to explain it to me.

I've been listening today to some of BBC radio 4 special programs on how scammers trick us. Including the very suave and polished ways scammers may steal our money and take most advantage of vulnerable people. Scammers are using techniques to get sometimes even sensible and cautious people to hand over critical online information. Including getting them to install software (malware). They had people on the radio programme who described their rapidly rising panic, and feelings of shame when they realised they'd been tricked.
And worse Scammers might expose some of their victims to cruel enjoyment and sometimes vicious feelings of triumph when they'd got online victims at their mercy.
The offensive words attributed - I hope falsely to Sheila Peacock - I want the Labour Party to investigate swiftly and reliably. And get to the bottom of this.
I was an elected councillor for sixteen years. During that time I was given confidential family and business information by residents. This included for example, taking up complaints and other issues which were important to residents I represented. I also sat on appeal panels for staff, when I had access to confidential personal files. There are legal consequences to councillors' decisions.
Hurtful thoughtless racist off-the-cuff remarks are important to challenge. Whoever posted this one should not be a candidate for any progressive political party.

Sometimes the most obvious explanation is correct ie.an old lady, not particularly apt with a modern phone, posts a message meant for one group of people to another group whose members hold very different views to the first group and thus upsets them. Surely that's more likely than Evil Elon or the FSB or whoever else 'hacking' into her phone.
And more importantly, does it matter? Who cares what is said in private conversations? No laws were broken. She's not inciting violence or planning a bank robbery.
