Protest leader
ONE of the leading figures behind the Left-wing uprising is a tech businessman turned outspoken Corbynista political activist.
Mustafa al-Mansur, 39, rallied protesters outside Kensington Town Hall after learning a family friend had died in Grenfell Tower. As he appealed for calm, protesters forced their way inside and surrounded staff.
Last night it was revealed he has been spokesman for Finsbury Park Mosque for more than a decade – although after the time of notorious hate preacher Abu Hamza.
Mr al-Mansur was once arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences after his fingerprints were found on a book about improvised explosive devices.
Mr al-Mansur, who lives in Tottenham with his wife, said he faced no further action.
At Friday’s protest in Kensington, he said the Grenfell tragedy highlighted lingering issues of inequality, adding: ‘People are calling it a corporate manslaughter.’
Mr al-Mansur has praised Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn recently, writing: ‘Conservative supporters wish and dream that their leaders had an ounce of [his] impeccable character, dignity and principled politics.’
