Matthew Harris was the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Hendon at the 2010 General Election and is a vice-chairman of Lib Dem Friends of Israel.
I have never wasted much time blogging about Barnet Council. I have wasted lots of time blogging about other things, but rarely about that. There is a band of bloggers who spend all their time blogging about the Council as if it was Parliament and they were Private Eye...One such is Mrs Angry (I know, I know).
These people's heroism cannot be celebrated often enough, but page three of today's JC had a familiar ring for anyone who had read this JC feature three years ago: http://www.thejc.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-features/they-bugged-nazis "This week the JC has located...Fritz Lustig, now 93, who for two years spied on (German) POWs from 1943 to the end of the war," says today's JC.
Arriving early for some 'telling' (don't ask) at a nearby polling station, I couldn't resist stepping for the first time into Cricklewood's The Castle, which has some claim to be the world's only kosher pub, and which seems pleasant enough as pubs go. I have long wondered what makes a pub kosher. Is a kosher pub one in which it is cheaper to buy the beer wholesale?
Well, I have voted by post in the 2012 GLA elections. It will not surprise you that I voted Liberal Democrat, given that I am, you know, a Liberal Democrat. Move along. Nothing to see here. Dog bites man, Sun rises in morning, Lib Dem votes Lib Dem - so what?
I thought that Brian Paddick did well at this morning's breakfast meeting organised by the London Jewish Forum, which is organising similar meetings with other major London mayoral candidates. I'm not just saying that he did well because I am a Lib Dem; I honestly thought that it was more interesting than such political meetings (regardless of party) often are.
