Thursday evening

Thursday evening I spoke at a very successful and well-attended pizza and politics event organised by Lewisham West and Penge LibDems, chaired by Councillor Alex Feakes, the energetic and popular LibDem parliamentary spokesman for the constituency. The theme of the evening's discussion was the interaction between foreign policy issues and the impact of diasporas living in the UK and particularly in south London. There are sizeable minorities including West Africans, Tamils and Vietnamese in the constituency, and we need to think hard about how to communicate with them better than we have in the past.
