When the local elections come round again in two years time, I hope that Brent's citizens will throw out all those councillors who have not been doing the job for which they were, supposedly, elected.<br /><br />Philip.

Zaffar Van Kalwala who was suspended for a time over his court case with Cllr. Krupa Sheth.<br /><br />So, what are Brent Labour and the Council's website not telling us?<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-8000906508806257752016-04-15T17:44:06.449+01:002016-04-15T17:44:06.449+01:00I'll lay odds one of them is the splendid Mr D...I'll lay odds one of them is the splendid Mr Duffy.

Butt's "silent majority" of Brent Labour councillors will keep him in power for as long as he wants to be Leader.
