I thought it was a good letter until I read that part at the end, which rather spoiled it by revealing it to be a tacky political stunt rather than a sincere attempt to reclaim the Syon estate for its residents.The author signed off the letter on behalf of the Osterley & Spring Grove Labour Party, but the estate is in Syon ward where her partner happens to be one of the councillors who held on to the seat in 2002 by the narrowest of margins in the face of a strong challenge by the three ICG candidates.It is this kind of meaningless gesture politicking from the political establishment, of course, which motivated over 700 people to support the ICG candidates in the first place.
