Khoodeelaar! gave the 'Lib Dems' as much opportunity to SHOW what they were made of in Tower Hamlets politics as we gave to 'others' -4

How did we do that?

By doing all the hard work that was necessary to create a clear political atmosphere in which any genuine 'political party' could do its duty of fighting for legitimate rights of the community.


First, the Lib Dems and the role played by Janet Ludlow in sinking the Lib Dems in Tower Hamlets.

Janet Ludlow was one of the speakers at the “Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole plot” CAMPAIGN public meeting held on 22 January 2006 at the Brady Centre.

And she also spoke in February 2006 outside the Tower Hamlets Council building at the Khoodeelaar! demonstration.

As she ddi on Wednesday 1 March 2006 - the same time that her party colleague, and fellow councillor Louise Alexander, did.

So how was it that janet Ludlow sank her party’s position in Tower Hamlets? Surely her presence at the various Khoodeelaar! campaign events and her participation in them should showed that she was doing the right thing?

Only apparently.

What she was doing was making the appearances for the purpose of the photos - on which, more, later - that she was ‘with the campaign’ but what she was actually saying was NOTHING AT ALL to do with the purpose or the aim of the campaign.

And I could see her and I could hear her very clearly.

So why did she do that?

The answer ; although brief, in fact is the core reason why the Lib Dems will not be a main political player in Tower Hamlets. And possibly in the UK.

The ‘policy’, the so-called ‘policy’ on Crossrail that the ‘national’ or the ‘head office’ of the Lib Dems had, was really not a policy. It is like the recent Nick Clegg stunt staged in the UK House of Commons about voting and not voting over Europe. The Lib Dems policy on Crossrail is a fake. And ALL their spokespersons on it in the House of Commons have shown deep ignorance and ambivalence and incompetence about transport.

How?

Because the Lib Dems don’t have then intellectual independence from the prevailing dominant position taken by the other two parties.

That is bad enough centrally. When it is analysed against the background of the ‘local’ communities, the Lib Dems simply evaporate.

That is bad.

But Janet Ludlow’s ‘leadership’ of her Group on tower Hamlets Council made it impossible know if they existed in the same East End borough as the main ordinary population. Or if the Lib dems even existed on this same planet.

Here was an inner city borough whose ‘local council’ had been hijacked by a brigade of Blairing corrupters, most of whom had been parachuted in to take over the former Labour party ‘organisation’.

THOSE were not only not local people, those were Blair-licensed hijackers of the democratic rights of the local population in Tower Hamlets.

The borough that was festering in poverty, in dis-education, no education, social and community dislocation....

And the evidence of the deterioration was everywhere to see..

Except in the ‘thinking’ of the Janet Ludlow ‘leadership’

Why Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole-inviter Council has had no 'opposition leadership' on the Council -

[Continuing from the previous item about Tower Hamlets Council published here this morning]

Just how solid is that ‘belief’? Or, rather. how sound is that ground for that ‘belief’ by the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council that there is no ‘alternative’ to the current clique, that may take over the Council at the next coun cil election?


The ‘candidates’ have not spoken yet.

But by looking at the behaviour of the ‘candidates’ it is reasonable to say that they feel that they are not vincible. That they will, remain in the ‘majority’ group and they will ‘reign’ in the Tower Hamlets Borough!

And why should they feel so confident?

Part of the reason is to be found in what janet did!

Janet Ludlow!

Ludlow was allegedly the ‘leader of the group that was known as the ‘official opposition’ on Tower Hamlets Council upto the May 2006 council election.

She had anything upto 16 councillors including herself, that belonged, on paper, to the same group. They were treated as the official opposition on Tower Hamlets Coun cil...

But did they oppose?


And if they did, did the voters notice their opposition?


This could not be tested more comprehensively than on the matter of the Janet Ludlow role on Crossrail hole plot....

Khoodeelaar! campaign has published quite a significant number of pieces about Janet Ludlow’s role.

In fact, not even the ‘local’ ‘East London Idiotiser’ has written so much about Janet Ludlow.

We examine her role in context, next

Khoodeelaar! updating the democratic warning to Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole-inviter Council: you are heading for that hole....!

One of the key reasons for the creation in january 2004 of the Khoodeelaar! campaign in defence of the Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green ‘south’ and Stepney London E1 Area and against the “Crossrail hole plot-imposing Big Business agenda has been the prevalence of poverty-creation in the policies of the Blairing administration....

In the course of the four years and four months of the Khoodeelaar! campaign, we have done the research and we have done the information gathering...


And we have done the constitution-examining...

In doing all these, we have been actively involved with the people directly affected by the plans and we have kept a daily watch on the behaviour of the ‘elected’ ‘local’ councillors...

Councillors who DEPEND on the votes of these people for their being councillors...


We have found that one after another, the councillors have lied.....

Why have they lied?

They have lied because they have been told to lie. Told by who?

Told to lie by the corrupt clique that controls the real agenda of the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council...

And who are these councillors?

These are councillors that are in the ‘controlling’ group and they are quite blasé because they ‘believe’ that there is no party or group that is principled, competent, efficient and or honest enough to replace them at the next council election.
