My FOI request
Please send me a map showing the boundaries of council-owned land near Tottenham Hale Station.

(P.S. @DavidLammy MP & I circled around this problem 20 years ago. Please try to do better.)

This may prevent your fellow residents from spotting PATTERNS of common problems.
Unless a council LEARNS & IMPROVES from repeated problem patterns, little is likely to change.
Share complaints with others.

As usual when I want balanced informed serious coverage of Gaza/Israel events then Peter Oborne is essential.

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

I also want to hear, Sir Keir,
How many Gazan kids need die this year?
You once asked Boris "What are you?"
Now a question I'm posing too.

@Keir_Starmer

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

'Forward' is a Jewish newspaper founded in the U.S. 1897.
Marilyn Garson worked for UNRWA during the 2014 war in Gaza. She wrote this opinion piece about the decision by the U.S. (& U.K & other countries) to withhold funds from UNRWA.
There's no paywall.

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

Are the US & UK governments complicit in the death of children in Gaza?
To me U.S. commentator @PeterBeinart has long seemed one of the fairest people speaking on Israel/Palestine issues.
I beg you to give 8 minutes 24 seconds to his new video

@DavidLammy

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

How I wish I could disagree with Peter Oborne.
He accuses Keir Starmer of downing tools & failing to do a vital job: challenging both Sunak & the Israelis about "indiscriminate slaughter inside Gaza".
Instead, as Oborne says, we get a merged War Party.

Marilyn Garson (from Aotearoa/New Zealand) explains why opposing Genocide in Gaza is not Antisemitism.

Al Jazeera podcast from November 2023.
"Why are so many Palestinian women being killed in Israel's war on Gaza?"
https://t.co/koJJ974K2T

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

A vital aspect of the war in Gaza.
Perhaps you doubt that Genocide is underway?
Consider Ecocide.

The Times of India has highlighted a 2015 video from Israeli journalist Gideon Levy. His analysis & warnings get more accurate & relevant by the day.

@Fahad_Heaven @Dima_Khatib It's unfair to compare Piers Morgan with Julia Shouty-Snarler.
Piers lets people speak & makes an effort to understand opposing viewpoints.
Julia seems more likely to shout over them, lose her temper & shut them down.
I assume this is why her bosses hire her.

@MartinBallN17
Martin I hear you & others are looking into some Haringey councillors' record of gifts & other freebies.

With the cost of living crisis hitting the poorest families
I assumed even the dimmest greediest cllrs would not risk public shaming.
Names & details please.

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

@NevTheSweeper Neville, eEx-councillors can be "outstanding" for many reasons. Ratting & Re-ratting for example.

[Alan Stanton @AlanStanton_]

Journalist Chris Hedges interviews Miko Peled about Gaza.
Peled served in Israeli Special Forces. They discuss Gaza. Also the militarization of Israeli society.

Once I used to think Mark Regev could put together sound & persuasive arguments. Now he's reduced to repeating absurdities with a little more anger & far less logic.
