Private medical shcool

We need more private medical schools like Buckingham .

Today is a bank holiday here in Tower Hamlets. Which for people who don't know is a public holiday in the UK.

TH Idea Stores wasting money

I went to an Idea Store recently and I saw a lot of course guides for the new academic year. They are a waste of money and Tower Hamlets should not be spending money on them. I made an FOI request once and they cost a lot of money. Tower Hamlets should be using the internet to promote their courses. 

Energy market in Africa

SolarAid have put a long thoughtful comment on their website it is well worth a read for anyone interested in energy in Africa. It also discusses US energy policy .

Let EDL march

In a democratic society which this is the EDL have a right to march like Muslim hate preachers who preach in Tower Hamlets and nothing is done about them .

My FOI requests

I have not been making as many as before I used to make to Tower Hamlets Council and other organisations like Jobcentre Plus.

Tower Hamlets should follow Brent and have a virtual receptionist .

TH games

I did not know that we had neighbourhood games thanks to the Tower Hamlets Youth Sports Foundation .

Sony reader update

I have noticed that sometimes after charging it or whilst charging it that it freezes and takes sometime to work again. Does anyone have any answer to my reader question? If you type tennis you can find it.

Tower Hamlets should not be challenging laws which are good and are there to help areas like it to meet demand for housing .

TH wasting money

Tower Hamlets wasting money in trying to save Bow Fire Station .

Lack of science and maths teachers

Money has got something to do with it but do people who have a good degree from a good university want to teach in a state school? Private schools are far less violent . BTW any feedback on my Sony reader question?

Not just Newham

Tower Hamlets asked 14 other councils besides Newham about chauffeur driven cars for their directly elected Mayors .

TH zero hours

Zero hours contracts are a good idea and I am on them. The problem is that Tower Hamlets needs to manage it's staff better and this is a way of doing it. The unions need to live in the real world and accept them .

Benefits cap impact on TH

The East London Advertiser has an article on the impact of the benefits cap in Tower Hamlets. They have even set up a hotline . This is a ongoing developing story.

Freegle

Freegle is worth joining. I am a member of the Tower Hamlets group and I find the associated cafe to be very helpful .

Charity Engine

It is a good idea but the website needs a lot of work and more information .

For a few days Google has been a bit quite when I use the key word Tower Hamlets.

No chance on plain packaging

The government has decided on this already. Why should they care what Tower Hamlets think ?

Unfair on Dawkins

Malik is unfair on Dawkins and she ignores the arguements which he has raised. To be honest Twitter is not the place for deep thinking. I would actually like to hear his veiws more fully What he said is a fact whether people like it or not .

Reza Aslan on Jesus

He does have a lot of interesting things to say on Jesus from a historical point of view. He is a Muslim but views on Islam do not fit the tradictional views associated with Muslims in the media .  BTW any feedback on my Sony reader question? 

Boris and police cuts

Boris as Mayor of London has to make some very difficult choices which affect Tower Hamlets .

Fusion power

Foreign policy has got nothing to do with Tower Hamlets. They should be concerned with the local area .

Anti social behaviour in Whitechapel.

Tower Hamlets sent a letter about anti social behaviour in the Whitechapel area up to 3AM. What the letter forgot to mention was that it happened at the same time as Ramadan. The council is brave by sending the letter at the end of the Ramadan period. Any feedback on my Sony reader?

The Apostasy Project

This is a good project doing very good work and we need groups like this in Tower Hamlets .

Electricity smart meters

Jeff Taylor has written a thoughtful and interesting commentary on smart meters and our use of electricity. I don't find the arguements against them convincing and I think that we all should have one. It is good for a lot of things like monitoring electricity use .

Top UK Universities have a lot of places this year .

Forget Tower Hamlets

I wish I could forget it .
