Getting back to this Haringey issue why were Momentum against the development when every resident was guaranteed a home in it with all the additional recreational space?

I love this phrase 'left-wing activist' - it appears to be used as an act of denigration. Look up 'left-wing' and look up 'activist'. To my mind, every representative of Labour should be a left-wing activist.

Interesting to see Tory remarks on activism....
If you lack members, you lack activists. If you lack activists, you lack candidates. If you lack candidates, activists, and members, then you will inevitably struggle to win elections. If you have to redeploy your paid staff from other areas to plug even basic gaps like getting nomination forms filled out, this atrophy in one area starts to undermine campaign activity in other areas.

Unfortunately true your Grace, and not only for the Conservatives. Most people I know have much better things to do 'getting on with life' than spending their time at often pointless meetings, sorting out drains, housing, schooling,pavements etc; and having stuck their head above the parapet, with the best of intentions, getting a load of grief from the great unwashed when accused of behaving in a manner apparently less worthy of their own particular version of a cross between Mother Theresa and Nelson Mandela.

The issue would be a Frosty response.

40,000+ Momentum members (they can't all be Cllr Bob Frost)... no wonder the status quo feel threatened.

Sources close to Cllr Frost claim that he says it's the best £18 he's ever spent!

[QUOTE="The Bishop"]40,000+ Momentum members (they can't all be Cllr Bob Frost)... no wonder the status quo feel threatened.
Less than 10% of the total membership so not as influential as they would like to be.

Mr McSweeney1, 40,000 is comparable to the Green Party and one third the size of the Tories (at their 2013 declaration). I would of course counter that the 40k membership are members that are doubly (party within a party) endorsing Corbyn's leadership. Furthermore, there are other factions within Labour (Labour First, Progress, Fabian's etc.) that cannot compare despite being established a lot earlier. If you need a gauge on the membership's belief in Corbyn's Labour, look no further than his leadership contest results.
Even Bob Frost is a believer...

#133 I regret to inform you that it would not conform to the rigour required and therefore be another of the 'lost' books of the bible along with those of the Protevangelion et al.
Competition time: What would the holy book of Bob Frost be entitled?
(My guess: Competition Time.
