This is the contextual update of the KHOODEELAAR! Manifesto that I had written in December 2005 and published in the last week of December 2005 and the first fortnight of january 2006.
This update will be published over a few days.
The KHOODEELAAR! manifesto as published in December 2005/January 2006 was part of the movement for actual accountability by the ‘local’ ‘elected’ ‘council’ and other ‘locally elected’ holders of positions in the name of the people in the East End of London.
In terms of the contents and the purpose and the implications, the KHOODEELAAR! Manifesto was unique. And has remained unique. No ‘party’ ‘group’ or ‘grouping’ has published a manifesto.
They may have claimed to have done so.
By the ‘party’, ‘group’ and ‘grouping’ here, I mean of the ones that have got ‘councillors’ on the Tower Hamlets Council in the names of the ‘parties’ and or ‘groups’ or ‘groupings’.
None of those has published any manifesto.
And the fact that they have not done so has also gone unremarked on, uncommented on. Except by Khoodeleaar!
[To be continued]
