Well, Simon, you have certainly changed your tune about Al-Ayobi. Not long ago, you were telling me he is like a "father figure" to you. You have also informed me about the way that Phil's cronies have been continually trying to undermine him.You know, Simon, back in the 1980s I helped tenants of three tower blocks in South Norwood to start a tenants association: I then had no further input into the organisation, because I took the view that political parties should not attempt to control what ought to be non-political residents' groups.However, the ICG have always had a different approach: from the 1980s, when Phil was in the National Front (during which time he set up the "Independent Ivybridge Tenants Association" from his comfortable middle class home in nearby Chestnut Grove) to his founding of IvyTag in 2002 and his attempts to Chair the URA meeting last year, the ICG have always been about one thing: control.
