Gavin Boby, a planning lawyer and director of the Law and Freedom Foundation, was approached by a residents’ group opposed to the Islamic centre to act as an adviser and spokesman.
The group, whose Facebook page has been “liked” 100 times, has been at the centre of controversy after using the same name — Golders Green Together (GGT) — as a communal anti-extremist movement two years ago.
Mr Boby, known as the “mosque-buster” for his successful campaigns against the establishment of Islamic places of worship across the UK, told the JC that GGT is worried about the effect the centre will have on the “character” of the area.
