Wembley Arena Square was cut off from the public this morning by Heras fencing and heavily policed by private security guards.
When I asked them what was going on they first said, 'A conference' and asked what the conference was for replied, 'It is to make everyone's life better.' When I said, 'Oh yeah!' they added, 'That is what we are all going to tell you.'
Huh! It turns out to be the last hustings for the Tory Party leadership with 6,000 Tories expected. Enough to declare a public health emergency in Brent!
Attempts are being made to organise a cost of living demonstration. This is last minute but if you can get along assemble from 6pm outside Brent Civic Centre. Bring banners and home made placards.

Is Arena Square, which would usually be used by lots of residents and visitors (and children playing in the fountains) at this time of year, a public space or a private one?
If it is a public space, who authorised its sealing off for today?
I'd be genuinely interested to know the answers to those questions, if any reader can provide them.
