Ken Livingstone was planning a "massive festival" across London next year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution.
It was to involve street parties, sports venues and some of London's leading museums as well as the closure of Trafalgar Square. Livingstone, as usual, refused to provide budget estimates as to the cost of this celebration of dictatorship.
There has been great news from City Hall this week, with the departure of Livingstone's Trotskyite 'cultural adviser' Jude Woodward, a member of the secretive Socialist Action group.
Can the mayor confirm that this planned festival honouring Castro will not now go ahead?
