Brent Momentum is advertising an event in "Kensal Rise Library" on 12 October, which is indicative of some rather strange connections. The facebook publicity promises:
"Inspired
by ‘The World Transformed’ festival held alongside the Labour Party
conference since 2016, Brent Momentum is holding a day of discussion,
debate, and organisation this autumn on practical ways to make Brent and
the wider world more radically equal, just, democratic and sustainable.
Themes will include climate disaster, extreme inequality,
racism, street violence, insecure and low-paid work, poor air equality
and public health, inadequate overpriced housing."
Brent
Momentum is of course an organisation founded as a Jeremy Corbyn
support group that is principally known for it for its attacks on Brent Council, Labour Party members who don't support Jeremy Corbyn to the
group's satisfaction and Boris Johnson in that order.
Kensal Rise Library describes itself as a library, and is largely dependent on money granted by Brent Council. Having been originally formed as a campaign group against Brent Council's Librarieis Transformation Project, it then morphed into a privately run community group. More recently still the main twitter feed was changed to suggest its purpose as "We will hang in there until it is publicly funded & run by the council."
It is run by the Friends of Kensal Rise Library, which is registered as a charity (no. 1141606).
It is unclear how all these connections work since they are not subject to any kind of public scrutiny.
