Pure poison, pure electoral manoevring. Already compromised on the right by UKIP, the Tories now calculate that the rise of the extreme right-wing populist movements like the English Defense League can be an advantage as well as a threat. Multiculturalism certainly has not failed. It’s opportunistic, cynical PR demagogues masquerading as political leaders who are failing our proudly diverse, multi-ethnic society.
With exquisite timing, the Labour Party (formerly known as New Labour) has check-mated Michael Gove and Andrew Lansley and brought in their own heavy hitter from the Planet Zog, Mr (as the BBC now bows to him as, but formerly known as Ed) Milliband. Massive applause....
The common thread through the ‘Coalition’s’ actions and proposals so far, has been a petty and spiteful revenge attack on what it calls ‘Political Correctness’. PC, shorthand for most everything that Labour did and stands for - that the State has the essential role in administering the standards and setting the targets that will not be achieved by individuals, or organisations, acting on their own. Or in other words, “They’ve been bossing us about for 13 years, now we’re going to trash the Nursery”.A sort of dirty protest from the infants.

Conference this year runs from 26th-30th September and is back in Manchester. Our CLP resolution opposing the Tory attack on secure tenure for social housing tenants has been accepted and we wish Ann, our delegate, all the best for what will undoubtedly be a very exciting conference. We look forward to her reporting back on her return!

Far be it for me to parrot Dave Cameron, but he hit the button, oh, lordy, lord. Did you see the pretenders do their thing with Jeremy Paxman? I haven’t seen anything so extra-terrestrial since John Redwood and gang challenged John Major. We ALL look a bit iffy, if caught in our off moments, but the cumulative effect of the hustings implied malice aforethought by the BBC. Alastair Campbell would have gutted the incompetents and mischief makers who set up the candidates. For the very first time in my life, I feel sorry for Diane Abbot.

Yes, Comrades, Members, Friends, Sympathisers, Ex-Liberals, Fellow Travellers, democracy is an endless process, and now there’s a ton of Party elections to decide on. AND they’re really important. We will vote as individual members, of course, but the CLP has also its recommendations to make. PDFs of the documents, requests for nominations etc will be available for reading or download in the Members’ Area. Just log in.

It didn’t take long for the make-up to run, did it? Matthew Parish wrings his withers about ‘good Cam’ and bad Cam’, blames it all on Alistair Campbell, Phony Tony - yawn, yawn. ‘Fact is, David Laws was a creep and a coward, greedy for power and recognition, who got caught on his back story. There’s lots where that came from.

Adur Festival 2010. Runs from 4th-20th June. http://www.adurfestival.com/
West Sussex County Council opened the completed ‘Stepping Stones’ Sure Start Children’s Centre at the start of the year. St Peter’s Church, in Gardner Road, was converted into this much needed community resource as part of the DCSF’s Every Child Matters framework.
The beautifully renovated and adapted church provides integrated early years care and education, as well as family support and outreach to parents. Families can access health services, and there are links to Jobcentre Plus.
More information about the Every Child Matters agenda can be found on the DCSF website.
The Fishersgate Children & Family Centre is located on Gardner Road, Portslade, Brighton, E Sussex, BN41 1PN.

This was probably the best year to be delegate for a long time because we had the leadership conference on the Saturday.
I gave an interview to someone from the Dutch press association which will be going out to all the Dutch papers including the Eindhovens Dagblad, which is the local paper for where I used to live.
Gordon Brown gave a very good speech and then there was the long build up to announcing the leader. The result was so close (0.35%) it was hard to believe, but you could see Ed Miliband’s vote go up from the second preferences as the other candidates were knocked out. Ed Miliband gave a really good acceptance speech to wild cheering.
