The giants of Ealing politics have been asked to contribute a monthly column to the Ealing Times.

Conservative Ealing Council is pressing ahead with a grants commissioning process that will halt council funding to Southall Black Sisters (SBS). This is a serious mistake by the council, as by its own admission, it will have an adverse impact on the services provided to black and minority ethnic women in the borough suffering from domestic violence. It could also lead to the closure of this internationally renowned organisation that has been at the forefront of helping some of the most marginalised women take control of their lives when they have been blighted by domestic violence.

I'm naturally inclined to support the police when they ask for a change in the law to enable them to do their job, but I have to admit to some pretty serious doubts about the proposal to increase the period in which a terrorist suspect can be held without charge from 28 days to 42.

MANY local communities in Ealing and Acton are in shock at the news that their local post office is to close.
