A Charmed Life

If you’re not doing anything at 2pm on the 14th of November, I’d recommend you popping along to the London South Bank’s British Film Institute to see an excellent docu-film about Hackney resident and Jamaican-born World War II veteran Eddie Noble, directed and produced by my good friend Cllr Patrick Vernon.

I had the privilege of watching a screening of ‘A Charmed Life’ when it previewed at the Hackney Museum earlier this year – it is a fabulous film about an extremely interesting man.

Well Done Peter Hain

I will not be watching Question Time on the 22nd of October because I refuse to be a party to the BBC’s cheap and disgraceful “we want higher ratings” stunt.

Well done to Peter Hain for such passionate opposition to the BBC’s disgraceful position.

The Labour Party’s “no platform” policy regarding the BNP was the right one and I cannot understand what Jack Straw thinks he’s doing agreeing to appear on the programme.
