Yes, Paul Linford says Ken Livingstone is a flawed genius, but a little context might be helpful...
Paul says this:
'Ken is a flawed character, to be sure. But without wanting to get all preachy about it, we all are...'
and this:
'I voted for Ken at the first two Mayoral elections and in view of what he has achieved for the capital, I don't regret having done so.'
UK voting fraud - yes we should return to this, but I mentioned it first, yesterday morning
I think the TPA has shot themselves in the foot here.
Firstly the TPA gets a lot of its funding from the Midland Industrial Council ( MIC ). The MIC is a cabal of Tory supporters who make regular donations to the Tories.
Secondly, the Tories are the largest party in local government, even running the largest municipal council in England – Birmingham.
Finally, your link to the TPA, gives an example of bad council sending at South Cambridge Council. This is also a Tory run council, and in fact doesn’t have a single Labour councillor.
The TPA biting the hand that feeds them, because they hope you don’t know who actually feeds them.
