A 19th century park named after William Gladstone could be renamed 'Diane Abbott Park' after a long-running review into slavery links by a Labour-run council in the capital.

Gladstone Park in north west London, named a year after the Prime Minister's death in 1898, could be rebranded after Brent Borough Council asked schoolchildren to choose its new name.

Pupils were briefed on the killing of George Floyd and 'systematic racism' by a race expert, as youngsters as young as five suggested the 86acre park be named after Ms Abbott, 68.

Other mooted ideas included calling the green space, which has loved by the public for 121 years, 'BAME park', 'multi-faith park' and 'diversity fields', the Telegraph reports.

Left-wing councillors at Brent Council said they continuing 'engagement', pending a final decision on a new name for Gladstone Park, which has been running since the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.

William Gladstone, a four-time Prime Minister who described slavery as the 'foulest crime' in history, was described by Brent Council as a 'historical figure whose views, in association with the slave trade, are inappropriate'.

Talk about the indoctrination of children at school?
 
It should be called the Abbott park but I'd section it into the following. The Nelson Mandela Quarter, the Gerry Adams Quarter, the Arthur Scargill Quarter and the George Floyd quarter. I'd make it a police free zone so the pigs can't come in to cause trouble.
I'd have a white privilege reflection area, but obviously the number of white people who could use the park would be restricted to say 10% of the capacity. I'd have a rainbow zone for the celebration of homosexuality with a Julian Clarey ride, also build a mosque in the centre with mega speakers for calls to prayer. There would be the Bobby Sands picnic area, the Castro skate park and a communist corner which shows the glorious history of the movement.

And yet those of us that claimed indoctrination has been something to be concerned about for a while now have been mocked endlessly.

"William Gladstone, a four-time Prime Minister who described slavery as the 'foulest crime' in history, was described by Brent Council as a 'historical figure whose views, in association with the slave trade, are inappropriate'." This one has me confused, If Gladstone described slavery as the 'foulest crime' in history, why are his views inappropriate? This is just another anti-white project.

Could we honour Putin in some way in the near future for his efforts to re-establish the commie bloc.
 
Rumours Labour Party to rename party headquarters Brexit House. Should be a vote winner with Leavers😜🇬🇧
 
I see every right wing newspaper is running with this extremely important story and quoting that line he had about slavery being bad. No mention of him actually arguing against the abolition of slavery in Parliament because his dad gave him great wealth from being one of the biggest slave owners around.
 
Google famous people from Brent.... maybe name the park after George Michael or Arthur Lucan( Old Mother Riley) or Jane Asher....
 
I despair at the state of a once very proud party one now so damaged due to the influence of the hard left. Let the past be and learn from history. One day very soon i hope to see a Labour party really focused on issues that really matter such as having a broader appeal to the electorate and concentrating on formulating policies that can make society a fairer and kinder place for all. I long for the day when this party wipes the floor with the tories at a general election. Fearful though with so many idiots it is a long way from achieving this.

Totally agree Rupert, the Labour Party politicians of old must be turning in their graves. Utter shambles of identity politics and nonsense now. As for Diane Abbot, we’ll surely a joke.

He was against abolition but saw the light and how bad slavery was when his family were offered the equivalent of 9.5m in today's money. Whadda guy
 
You just couldn't make it up we've got a bunch liars and law breakers running the country and these nut jibs are still going on about Corbyn
 
Curryman

I'm getting worried about you. If you carry on reading the Mail and Express you'll blow a gasket.
 
Can we have David Cameron renamed, as his family wealth also came from compensation for loss of slaves?

Any suggestion?

Maybe you were out of the country between 2017 and 2019, everything you now request was on offer.
 
Nothing like being rewarded for being absolutely inadequate at a time our countries faith in the serving government was at an all time low.

Corbyn and Abbott were around at the worst possible time.

I'm not sure Starmer is any more effective.

They're all streets ahead in the morality stakes mind.

"Julian Clary ride" I have an image and it will just not go away.🥺

Broadly speaking the Labour Party under Corbyn offered those policies.

Maybe you forgot to read the their manifesto?

We need a Labour Party that the country can vote for. The media did a job on Corbyn but he didn't help himself. I'm hopeful that Starmer can make the difference.
 
Whether you liked Corbyn or not, he is the only prominent British politician in the last 25 years that I have felt sincerely believed what he said.

99.9% of politicians only care for power and will say whatever it takes to bring them closer to grasping it. They have no ideology other than realpolitik.

Corbyn has been consistent through many decades of serving as an MP.
 
Personally I couldn't give a s**t what it's called.
It's a bloody park, no one will be hurt whatever it's called.
Whatever politics you support does it make an ounce of difference?
Will anyone say 'I'm not going min that park, it's named after a person I don't like'😑.
