Following extensive lobbying by Brent Labour councillors and local Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Barry Gardiner, the Labour government has agreed to provide an additional £80 million under its 'Building Schools for the Future' programme. This means that secondary schools in the borough will be rebuilt or expanded as part of the government's programme to modernise all secondary schools. Those programmed...
It is hard to believe that someone could cram in so many politically correct platitudes in just eight minutes. Barry Gardiner could have indulged in a little self-flagellation or crawled around the House on his knees to emphasise his self-loathing, white liberal credentials even more. However, as a performance, despite the fact that his instinctive revulsion needed the assistance of notes, it was remarkable....
A far-right group has described scenes of Wembley's diverse population as “horrific” in an online video Members of the British National Party (BNP) from South Wales can be heard saying “it's not our country anymore” as they drive down High Road, in footage uploaded to video sharing website Youtube. As residents from different the areas diverse community walk passed the camera...
Catch up time today as I have to deal with the aftermath of two days away from my desk. By early afternoon however, the industrial level of bureaucracy that accompanies operating a political party in this country had been dealt with. Nick called from Europe mid-morning to explain what had happened in Turin and in Spain. The Telegraph's claim that Nick had visited Franco's tomb made him laugh, but more...
Gosh bearded Barry is at it again, over at Tory Bear’s place is the story about Barry’s aide. You read it here first, but Barry Gardiner’s local paper – the Wembley & Kingsbury Times have picked up on the outrageous behaviour of his newly appointed staff member Joseph “Seph” Brown who caused outrage when he advocated the shooting of Zionists. Particuarly [...]...
FA attacks BNP race rant video about Wembley The Football Association today demanded that a BNP promotional video featuring Wembley stadium be removed from the internet. The film uses the home of English football as a backdrop for a diatribe about immigrants in London. The venue was chosen to illustrate the far-Right party's view that the "iconic" neighbourhood had been "colonised"...

"Joseph Brown is a comeback king. "Discovered" by the Labour Left = Bettter posistion, better wage, better MP. Thanks Tory Bear!" Surely Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson wouldn't have been so stupid? Would he? Now TB can run all that stuff he held back when Seph was fired by Barry Gardiner . Any newspaper hack want a picture of Seph in Hamas gear?
As TB reported on the other day , the Barry Gardiner MP staffer story just gets messier and messier. The Wembley and Kingsbury Time s reports that Seph isn't going quietly: "AN MP has been accused of lacking moral character by a former aide who claims he was hung out to dry. Barry Gardiner, MP for Brent North, was hit with the charge by former communications and campaign manager, Joseph Brown...
The postings by Tory Bear were very interesting about the anti Zionist employee of Barry Gardiner MP. I covered it on this blog and now I can report via the Bear that the employee who was anti Zionist has been sacked by Gardiner. Although I am supportive of Palestine over Israel, and I believe that Palestine needs more power over the land that is rightly theirs, but putting that issue aside it's good...
No not that Brown... but Joseph "Seph" Brown, the recently dismissed staff member of Barry Gardiner MP. Gardiner released a statement yesterday outlining his reasons for sacking his recently-taken-on communications and campaign staffer. Brown is not going without a fight though. He released a statement last night to the Jewish Chronicle and the local papers in the Brent North constituency....

Mr Joseph Brown, had been the subject of allegations of anti-semitism and remarks and actions that were offensive to the Jewish Community whilst he held the post of Anti-Racism officer at the...
TB has been doing some more digging at LSE about Joseph "Seph" Brown . He was apparently forced to apologise not just for the scandal previously covered on here , but for also apparently being the proud owner of a Hamas green Keffiyeh which caused mild outrage when he wore it on campus. This fact throws this fascinating article about him from the American Spectator last January into significance:...
