"Question time at Friern Barnet Library - the library shut by Barnet Tories, as part of their war against culture in this borough, but re-opened by occupiers, and returned to the people of Friern Barnet to enjoy, as intended by those who opened the library, with funding from the Carnegie Foundation, in 1934.

"... [Council Leader] Cornelius arrived early, perfectly relaxed and his usual affable self, his Mr Punch-like grin primed, and at the ready.

"At the door a man was holding a bucket, collecting contributions for the library that Mr Punch had closed, and put up for sale.

"The Tory leader, a member for the very affluent area of Totteridge, and the owner of a Hatton Garden jewellery business, peered suspiciously at the bucket, and seemed unsure how much to give."
