Thousands off complaints were filed with the council. But the Labour council preferred to listen to UK Likud Director. I was told that the Council was spending tens of thousands of pounds on legal fees to justify its unlawful act. Some of\u00a0\u00a0my supporters filed Freedom of Information requests to find out how much Cllr Watts\u2019 \u2018decision\u2019\u00a0cost Islington\u2019s residents.<\/h5>\n<h5>I thought there had been an outlandish waste of \u00a340-60.000. Today, through the Freedom of Information replies, we learned that the corrupted\u00a0Labour politicians spent three times that amount. And in response to a request for an explanation of the Council\u2019s actions, the Labour councillors showed that they were not even brave enough to take responsibility\u00a0for their own wasteful and absurd actions. Their claim was that the Council\u2019s employees had been the decision makers.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe operative decision to ban Mr Atzmon was not taken by a councillor. Rather, the decision was taken by Martin Bevis, Assistant Director Financial Operations and Customer Service, and that decision was upheld on appeal by Ian Adams, Director Financial Operations and Customer Services.\u201d<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/islington-council-censorship2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-183152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/islington-council-censorship2.jpg\" alt=\"islington council censorship2\" width=\"540\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/islington-council-censorship2.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/islington-council-censorship2-300x243.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>It seems unlikely that Martin Bevis and Ian Adams were the decision makers.
