Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Labour hits out at return of major event in park
Labour makes some great points about the threatened return of a major event in a public park. These are their key ones:
- Event decision steamrollered
- Strong opposition by local residents
- Disappointing organisation
- Lack of confidence for further events
- Concerns about safety
- Disruption in the summer
- Concerns about lengthy set-up and take-down times
- Poor public consultation
- Excessive noise from loudspeakers
“We have had a steady stream of emails from local residents opposing this event very strongly and claiming that they have not had any response from the Leader of the Council. The council has also not said how it would spend the revenue from the event, so residents cannot put up with this amount of disruption to their local park if they cannot see any benefit.”

I used to think Liberals were a sort of cuddly, fairly harmless bunch. Might even have voted for them once. But they really do excel at

I take except to that. I worked tireless for the local community for 8 years as a liberal democrat in Harringay ward. I was never deceitful, I never lied and I never hoodwinked the local residents. For some unfathomable reason Labour do well in London, taking your vote for granted means you can run roughshod over residents and totally disregard the local community. That's the point Clive is making here.

It's quite obvious why they do so well in London. Clive makes the point well very.. nearly every day.

Karen, I don't doubt you've never been deceitful, never lied and never hoodwinked local residents and I don't really get too exercised about Labour -v- Liberal BUT the Liberals WERE deceitful in their leafleting in the last election - as per here http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/hornsey-wood-green-elec... and Clive's post seemed (to me) to be more of the same...

Mr. Hole
Are you related to the William Hoyle who stood as a Conservative Party candidate in the 2010 local election in Tottenham?
If so, do you think that if that were made clear, your comments might then be viewed differently?
Do you not think you should declare your affiliation, as I am obliged to do?
Your remarks are no more than mischievous.

No?

I deliberated constructed my post for sole purpose of interesting people enough to carefully read the link to a Labour Party website that would otherwise not be read.
Any misleading would have lasted perhaps 15 seconds. Anyone in effect claiming to have been misled for longer either has issues with English comprehension or is being intellectually dishonest.
Although I'm pleased that my summary of the Labour Party post attracted attention, I'm disappointed that no one has yet engaged with the substantive issue of policy policy about major events in public parks, something that the Labour Party post set out.

Alex, Eugene & Michael (below): surely what's sauce for the Battersea gander is also sauce for the Haringey/Harringay geese? Or is your point that the electorate of Haringey, Harringay and Highgate is/are so damn illiterate that they do not understand Clive's clear link to the full article on the Labour Party website? Eugene seems to confirm this by reaching for an online dictionary-thesaurus to define the simplest of words. Even if Clive hadn't included that link, the extract from the article is obviously meant to tease the brain of even the most half-brained Hol reader. Some brains seem to need more teasing.

OAE. I wasn't aware I was making a point. I was stating a fact which, unless you claim coed the link at the bottom of the post, readers may have been unaware of

I really shouldn't try to type on a bus! The last post should read " unless you click on the link on the bottom of the post........."

Thanks Michael. Now I really do claim coed. Too much co-education in Labour led Haringey has caused endless distraction leading to rampant illiteracy on this site.

Illiteracy and poor typing skills aren't the same. Have you every seen James Joyce's original manuscripts? He seemed adept at pressing W when he meant to press E. And can you imagine what Finnegan's Wake would look like if he'd had spellcheck and auto-correct?
Anyway, I'm the proud product of a coeducational comprehensive school. As well as getting me and my schoolmates through Shakespeare and Chaucer, my teachers also exposed us to the wonders of French, philosophy, woodwork and home economics (both boys and girls)
