This is a story about Lewisham which follows on from the last one about Tower Hamlets. I did not know that Lewisham topped the list. Tower Hamlets does not top the list on everything poverty related .

Gesture politics on payday loans

This is nothing but gesture politics from Tower Hamlets Council. Payday loan companies can't use council property or advertise on council publications or anything else related to the council. Those companies advertise on things like television and the internet which the council has no control over.

TH woman Tube assault

A Tower Hamlets woman has been assaulted on a Tube platform .

Love Wapping on TH voter fraud

It was not reported much in the news though we did hear a helicopter. I did not see EDL but some people claimed that some came up here but I did not see any though I did hear a lot of noise once. Some people were scared for no reason really and decided to stay at home.  BTW any feedback on my Sony reader question?
