Letter in the Daily Telegraph: Water Cannon

March 23, 2014 office

With accompanying article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/10715100/Water-cannon-is-not-very-British-say-campaigners.html ————— SIR – We write to express our deep concern at the attempt by the Metropolitan Police to introduce water cannon on the streets of London, and urge Theresa May, the Home Secretary, not to authorise their use. The proposal lacks support even from the police, with five out of the six largest police authorities, several police […]

Letter for publication: Cllr Evangeli asleep on the job

February 17, 2014 office

Dear editor, I must correct one point in Mr Deckett’s letter (14/2/14): Labour did not close Edgware Hospital’s A and E department. This was closed by the then Conservative Government in an act of spite on 1st April 1997, just a month before we won the General Election on 1st May that year. During that election campaign, Labour promised a review of what we […]

Letter for publication: Gagging bill

January 28, 2014 office

Dear Editor, Along with most Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs it is a disgrace that Hendon’s Conservative MP chose to follow party orders and voted to reverse the main improvements made in the House of Lords to the Gagging Bill. He voted on the one hand to remove new rules limiting secret lobbying by big business; and on the other […]
