KHOODEELAAR! camapgn organiser Muhammad Haque said on the London SPECTATOR magazine web site on 16 January 2009 how Tower Hamlets Council and the agenda of Gordon Brown were letting down the people in the East End of London. This is the full texts of the piece, that appeared as a Comment: "Muhammad Haque January 16th, 2009 3:55pm Yesterday's [Thursday 15 January 2009] GCSE results have shown again that Tower Hamlets Schools are continuing to fail the pupils and the community.….
The East End Borough of Tower Hamlets is thus guaranteed to remain ‘qualified’ as ‘the most deprived borough’ in the country - a description published by the Times newspaper [and web site] last year attributing that to the then ‘leader’ of the same Council. I spoke to the ‘full Council’ when it sat in that mode, formally, on 17 December 2008. I did that to argue against Crossrail which I have been calling as a creator of poverty. Tower Hamlets is next door to Newham. And so far as I can see, there has been NO statistically or socially or economically significant or citable JOBS created for the ‘ordinary people’ of and in Tower Hamlets by the 2012 Olympic Games Hosting programme. When I spoke to Tower Hamlets Council as it sat as ‘full Council’ [17.12.2008], I cited the fact that Gordon Brown’s regime had been advertising in Polish publications for specifically skilled recruits for Crossrail work to be carried out in Tower Hamlets. I pointed out that local people of all backgrounds in the ordinary population in Tower Hamlets were not going to get the jobs because they did not have the requisite skills. I contrasted the advertisements in the Polish media to the absence of corresponding adverts in the ‘local’ ‘East London Idiotiser’ [‘Advertiser’] that circulates mainly in and around the Borough of Tower Hamlets. That omission I linked with the failures of the local schools and related institutions and agencies in Tower Hamlets. I addressed a particular member of Tower Hamlets Council who had asked me to explain how Crossrail would CAUSE or create poverty in the Borough. As time was limited to only a couple of minuets for me to give that answer, I later asked that Councillor through his office in the Council, to get in touch with me so I could give him more evidential information on poverty and jobs and how Gordon Brown’s propaganda about creating jobs in the East End of London through Crossrail and the 2012 games Hosting was totally false and misleading. It is a full month since then. And I have not heard from the councillor. I also spoke to the current holder of the post of ‘leader’ of Tower Hamlets Council the same evening [17 December 2008] and asked him to answer the charges that I had been making about the Council's failures on jobs in the Borough in the context of my address to the ‘full Council’. He promised to get back to me soon.
I have not heard from him. It is absolutely important to put on the record the fact that regardless of their ethnic backgrounds and affiliations, the local Councils in and around the Stratford site of the 2012 Games and in the affected parts of London Crossrail are not behaving in response to the facts on the ground. They are, as the ‘local authorities’ living in a world of spin where they move or not solely on the basis of whether their actions will keep them in post or not..
The future of jobs and social cohesion is not being made at all secure by the over the top reliance on spin that Brown has become hooked on. Nothing that Gordon Brown has said today about Stratford makes any sense at all as far as the economic and the social lives of the majority of the ordinary people in the East End go. And the less Tessa Jowell says the better. She evidently [by her promotional slots allowed here by the BBC this morning] does not recall Ken Livingstone actually boastfully admitting on the BBC Question Time ‘Mayoral election’ special’ shown in April 2008 that he, Livingstone, had LIED to get the ‘London Bid’ done so that the UK Govt would spend so much money in that East End area... The evidence of Canary Wharf shows that only because there is a fast and concentrated set of buildings done in a formerly derelict area that the ‘immediate’ locality and the population would benefit.….. There has got to be a qualitative and quantum shift away from the degenerate ’thinking’ that Ken Livingstone epitomises and the superfluous spin that Gordon Brown has become indulgent on... The shift has got to be way away from party political, partisan or electoral considerations. If society matters, if people matter then that priority has to be seen in the actual policies... Those policies are far from present in the current packages on offer from any of the power-wielders at any relevant level.
KHOODEELAAR! told UK G Brown so! Imprudent indulgence in debts-creation would go bust!
