Aâmemorial is planned for Ms Billot inâFinsbury Park
FRIENDS and family have paid tribute to a âfeistyâ former councillor and prominent Finsbury Park activist.
Sally Billot, 79, was a no-nonsense woman of principle.
She was thrust into the limelight in 2003 when then prime minister Tony Blair took the country to war with Iraq.
The mother-of-two had been a member of the Labour Party for almost 30 years and cried when the 1997 general election landslide results were announced.
But she was infuriated by what she saw as the spurious reasons put forward by Mr Blair to go to war.
