Pickles is a politician, and a Tory one at that. Call me a cynic if you like but I doubt he really gives a monkeys for the good of the community, it will come down to which decision he believes will yield him and his party most votes. As the architect of the Localism Act he may see an opportunity to champion the small businessman deeply rooted in the local community, but this would be at the risk of being seen to hold back a major redevelopment in one of the countries most deprived areas where fresh riots ahead of the 2016 election could adversely affect his party's chances.

Even if I were a Gooner, in his shoes I know which one I'd go for.

I don't think that would come into his thinking. Tottenham as a constituency will never be anything but a Labour one. It would be an entire waste of time and energy to even bother attempting to affect peoples thinking with a swerve move like the one you describe.

Levy's mate/Tottenham shareholder/Tory peer Lord Ashcroft will surely smooth this out with his buddy.

It goes without saying the Tottenham electorate would hardly come into it. I'm suggesting he would take into account what a refusal to back renewal and regeneration might look like nationally were there to be further riots in Tottenham prior to a general election.

Pickles was born in Yorkshire, is probably a Leeds fan, and we know how much Leeds fans love Spurs](*,)
