Arise Sir Sam

He has done a lot for the people of Tower Hamlets. The horrid Mayor Lutfur Rahman tried to take credit for the work done by Tower Hamlets CCG .

Bus strike

It's going to impact Tower Hamlets but not make any difference. Waste of time .

Tom Holland on Islam

I would normally cover Tower Hamlets but than Islam has such a impact on Tower Hamlets. If you watch this YouTube video than you may gain a better inside into Islam .

Interview with Mark Baynes

Mark Baynes the man behind Love Wapping has given a brilliant interview. It is worth a read. I think he should run ads on the site. He has done a great service to Tower Hamlets .

Greenwich property

I thought that Tower Hamlets would have bigger price increases than Greenwich .

Whitechapel murder

Man charged with a murder of a woman. Nothing new in Tower Hamlets .

Email data

Let's see what Tower Hamlets Council have to say in regards to this about their email account .

Stupidity at it's best

Tower Hamlets Twitter account is stupidity at it's best .

Slowing house prices

Good Tower Hamlets is too expensive .

Bow redevelopment

Another new development in Tower Hamlets .

Good students

It's good to see good students at Tower Hamlets .

Boxing Day deals

I normally cover Tower Hamlets but not today .

Disgracful behaviour

This article about the wonderful Tower Hamlets First Councilor and his disgraceful behaviour raises some questions  1. How many companies has he shut down? 2. Does he owe HMRC money? Now I understand why someone called Peter in Victoria Park can't stand him .

A true hero

Not sure if he is from Tower Hamlets or not but he is a true hero .

Rabina Khan taxi FOI

I am fed up of Rabina Khan been praised by the Tower Hamlets Council twitter account so I filed a FOI request to Tower Hamlets Council .

Sell out

In my part of Tower Hamlets very few would go for it .

No shame

Some Tower Hamlets First Clirs have no shame .

Even more new homes

Can the Canary Wharf area of Tower Hamlets support this ?

More developments in Canary Wharf

It seems that Tower Hamlets will have more development in the Canary Wharf area. I am a fan but it needs to be controlled .

Another Rahman supporter caught

This must be a bad time to be a Tower Hamlets First (which is essentially Lutfur Rahman) supporter. Andrew Gilligan is after you and he has got one yesterda y.

34 today

I am 34 today and I have spent most of my life in Tower Hamlets since coming to the UK in April 1988. Never lived in any other part of the UK.

Social media Tower Hamlets

I can't wait to see the response to this FOI from Tower Hamlets .

Election petition update

Ted Jeory has a interesting update on the Tower Hamlets election petition. It seems that the Commissioner has decided to move it out of Tower Hamlets to the Royal Courts of Justice .

Tower Hamlets girl stopped

What on earth was this 15-year-old girl from Tower Hamlets thinking ?

Education failure

It seems that not everything is rosy in education in Tower Hamlets .

Cold

It's bitterly cold in Tower Hamlets but no white Christmas.

Minute's silence is right

I am not a big supporter of Tower Hamlets but for once Tower Hamlets have made the right call . 

Conservative welcome

The Commissioners will receive a Conservative welcome to Tower Hamlets .

Two Commissioners announced

Two of the three Commissioners for Tower Hamlets Council have been announced. The third will hopefully be announced in due course. Eric Pickles the Communities Secretary according to people has made a excellent choice for Tower Hamlets. One is a former sewer inspector who will no doubt find rats trying to leave the sinking ship of Tower Hamlets .

Shahed Ali a profile

Mark Baynes of Love Wapping has done a wonderful profile on the Tower Hamlets First Councilor including things even I did not know about the man .

Excellent comment by Dave Roberts

I would not normally do so much copying but the comment from Dave Roberts in regards to Respect and not just in Tower Hamlets is too good. You can read the original on the excellent Tower Hamlets politics blog by Ted Jeory. Everyone in Tower Hamlets needs to read it . Dave Roberts.   5   2   Rate This It’s no coincidence I think that these investigations always seem to be in communities from the Indian sub continent and to a certain extent amongst the orthodox Jews in Stamford Hill in North London. Oldford1, curiously silent of late, has pointed out but in the wrong context that the methods used by Tower Hamlets First were skills honed by pretty much the same people when in the Labour Party. This is true because it is a South Asian way of doing politics and not a particularly Labour one. There is nothing wrong in getting political power and then giving jobs and contracts to friends and family. That is simply the way things are done, always have been

Good boxer

This Whitechapel woman is a credit to Tower Hamlets. She raised £5,000 for a children's hospice by boxing .

Waste of money

It's good to see that Tower Hamlets Council knows how to waste money .

Shadwell arrest

Shadwell is not a good part of Tower Hamlets .

Demolish gasworks

Please demolish the gasworks in Bethnal Green as a resident of Tower Hamlets I don't care .

Telegraph on Rahman

The Telegraph has a number of excellent articles on the Mayor of Tower Hamlets .

Changing Tower Hamlets

Reading this article it is interesting how Tower Hamlets is changing. It is bad news for Mayor Lutfur Rahman and the people of Tower Hamlets First .

Misinformation

Misinformation is rife about the arrest of Shahed Ali in Tower Hamlets please only listen to facts.

Shahed Ali arrest

It seems that the 2 local papers have not picked up on the arrest of the Tower Hamlets First Councilor.

Rahman given Christmas presents

Please remember that this is the man whose Councilors made parents cry. He is been rewarded. The people of Tower Hamlets need to get real .

Shahed Ali arrested

Tower Hamlets Cabinet Member Shahed Ali has been arrested by police. Can't say too much because of legal issues .

Data problems

Tower Hamlets Council has some data problem s.

East End CF

As a resident of Tower Hamlets I have never heard of it .

Foodbank use

It seems that foodback use has gone up dramatically in Tower Hamlets .

Wapping wildlife

This is a really good post. It has links to Tower Hamlets and the wider London area .

Try calling Tower Hamlets

When I try to call Tower Hamlets I get nothing but a message which sends me in circles and staff who are incompetent .

Murder victim named

It's tragic that this 15-year-old by could be stabbed in this part of Tower Hamlets .

Another cyclist death

It's tragic that we have so many cyclists die in Tower Hamlets .

Tower blocks and energy

There is a lot of tower blocks in Tower Hamlets. It might be better to concentrate on the new ones .

Sign this

Please sign this petition to stop waste of Tower Hamlets resources .

Wharf on people power

Sometimes people do win even in Tower Hamlets .

Police need help

Police in Tower Hamlets need help to catch this rapist .

School outing

Those girls in Tower Hamlets are lucky. I never had such a outing when I was in school in Islington . 

Parents win

It is nice to see that someone could win against Mayor Lutfur Rahman in Tower Hamlets .

Not racism

I was trying to take this article seriously about ethnicity and inequality in places like Tower Hamlets and Bradford. Then I saw the term racism which made me want to not read the article any further. One thing that Tower Hamlets and Bradford have in common is George Galloway .

Tower Hamlets election petition

It is to start on the 2nd of February 2015 and  9 weeks have been set aside. No venue confirmed .

Danger construction

This is the East London Advertiser on Tower Hamlets construction site danger in Isle of Dogs .

Isle of Dogs tragedy

It's a shame that Tower Hamlets Council could not avert this tragedy. I live next to a dangerous building site .

Fast internet

Canary Wharf Group should spread fast internet to the whole of Tower Hamlets .

Suspend Williams

John S. Williams should be suspended from running any election in Tower Hamlets. The man can't run a election. It is a joke .

More controls on Tower Hamlets

I agree with Andy that there needs to be more control over elections in Tower Hamlets. John S. Williams and the people who ran the election are a disgrace .

A good lesson

The children of Tower Hamlets should not let poverty be a barrier to anything .

Crossrail

As a long time resident of Tower Hamlets I can't wait for Crossrail .

New flower show

It seems that we are going to have more culture in Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets .

Whitechapel conference

Whitechapel is one of the biggest dumps in Tower Hamlets. There must be a nicer place to hold a conference in Tower Hamlets?

Black Friday

The Wharf says there were good discounts in the Canary Wharf area of Tower Hamlets .

Well worth a read

This is worth a read for the residents of Tower Hamlets and people who support Mayor Lutfur Rahman .

Pleading residents

Those poor people pleading for reason. Mayor Lutfur Rahman does not care about the people of Tower Hamlets. He sees them as a cash cow .

Blaming the goverment

It's nice to see that people in Tower Hamlets First blame the government for cutting services to children. Tower Hamlets First know that Tower Hamlets Council can find money for any legal cases which the Mayor seeks to take to court no matter how pointless . Shahed Ali is a man of integrity he was in Labour, Respect, Labour and Tower Hamlets First.

Excellent article

This article about what the Mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman can do and can't do is excellent as well as the link to the story about Overland Deaf Centre in Tower Hamlets .

Beyond disgusting

The behaviour of Tower Hamlets First and the way that they treat those people and their concerns about the future of childcare for their children is disgusting. Tower Hamlets First are truly beyond the pale. They make me sick .

Good news

It's good that people want to take action against the Mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman. Are Tower Hamlets First going to walk out?

Cyclist dies

Tower Hamlets is too dangerous to cycle in .

Lutfur Rahman for Parliament

Lutfur Rahman the Mayor of Tower Hamlets is a man who has no shame or decency. He thinks he can run for Parliament whilst the current scandals in Tower Hamlets (there is more than one) are still hanging around his neck .

Crime prevention in Tower Hamlets

The Metropolitan Police need to do more to prevent crime in Tower Hamlets .

Pathetic defense

This article is a pathetic defense of what is happening in places like Tower Hamlets and Birmingham .

No more powers for Tower Hamlets

I would rather that we had a elected safeguarding board for the area than Tower Hamlets Council .

Bow Foodbank

I know that there is a Tower Hamlets Foodbank but I did not know that there is a Bow Foodbank .

Campaigning in Whitechapel Ward

I happen to live in this part of Tower Hamlets. There are a few interesting facts. 1. All 3 Councilors are Tower Hamlets First former Labour. 2. It is part of Bethnal Green and Bow which was the seat which Galloway took from Labour in 2005. Labour are worried .

Muslim Schools Tower Hamlets

It is good that this has been taken seriously but one of the things I noticed reading media reports is the lack of the mention of the East London Mosque. The East London Mosque plays a major and in my view unhealthy part in the life of Tower Hamlets. The East London Mosque runs 2 of the six schools named in the report. The media should pay attention to it .

Shutting down Schools

Good on Nicky Morgan for taking some steps to control this kind of thing in Tower Hamlets. Shutting down Schools is drastic but maybe necessary . 

Schools named

ITV News has details of the schools in Tower Hamlets .

Tower Hamlets Schools

Tower Hamlets Schools have been on the news a lot today. I can't wait for the report to be published tomorrow .

Right decision

The right decision has been made about Sir John Cass in Tower Hamlets. My brother works there. Looking at some of the things it shows bad judgement .

Rahman responds

I believe in been fair and balanced even though I loaf the man. I am going to put this up not because as a resident of Tower Hamlets I agree but because people should read it .

Tower Hamlets incitement

Ken Livingstone has been accused of incitement by the brilliant Peter Golds. Ken Livingstone needs to behave himself even in Tower Hamlet s.

Tower Hamlets comedy

The Mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman does comedy .

Time is running out

It seems that time is running out for Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman .

Can't wait

I can't wait for Pickles to send a hit squad into Tower Hamlets .

Livingstone in Tower Hamlets

Ken Livingstone makes me want to throw up. There is enough rubbish in Tower Hamlets .

East End Lies joke

This is what the residents of Tower Hamlets have to put up with .

Rewriting history

It is amazing what the Tower Hamlets First administration gets up to. Some people say that they are corrupt politicians but in my view whether they are corrupt or not is a legal point but they are stupid even by Tower Hamlets standard .

Takki goes to Aberdeen

For the life of me I can't understand why the Director of Communications (or whatever the official title is) at Tower Hamlets Council would be hired by a Labour council in Aberdeen. He was once a Labour Councilor. I make no allegations but the whole thing needs to be looked at. There is a funny smell .

Holland coming to Tower Hamlets

Tom Holland is a brave man to come to Tower Hamlet s. Here is a Wikipedia story .

Another day another court case

If you have been following Tower Hamlets for as long as I have (I am a resident) you will notice that Lutfur Rahman the Mayor likes court cases and he likes them even when they are pointless. He likes wasting public money .

Naughty Ken

It seems that Ken misbehaved on his night out in Tower Hamlets. What a stupid fool .

Biggest liar in London

The competition is very high but Lutfur Rahman the beloved Mayor of Tower Hamlets is the front runner. It seems that Dave Hill has got a good kicking at the Guardian. I can't believe how stupid Livingstone is asking for the home addresses of government commissioners .

Lutfur's politics doomed

If you are to read to the very end it shows that the young in Tower Hamlets are not interested in Bangladeshi politics. Lutfur Rahman is just a phase .

Terrible news

It seems that the stupid people of Tower Hamlets have turned out to support the Mayor .

Comedy act

I have always said that this rally was a comedy act. It's good to see that comedy is not dead in Tower Hamlets .

Rahman on a jolly outing

It's nice to see that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and his group on a jolly outing on Saturday afternoon and the Mayor not been bothered to turn up for the Remembrance Day event for the next day. He is giving a bad name to Tower Hamlets .

Takki leaves

The good people of Tower Hamlets are finally getting rid of this man. However the good people of Aberdeen are getting this man thanks to a Labour council. They claim they don't know that he was once a Labour Council .

Comedy act

One of the best political comedy acts is coming to Tower Hamlets .

Rubbish by Dave Hill

Dave Hill who was once the media spokesman of Ken Livingstone has now started writing rubbish for The Guardian about Tower Hamlets. His attack on the Telegraph and it's coverage of Tower Hamlets is a joke .

Defend democracy

The best way to defend democracy in Tower Hamlets is to get rid of the Mayor .

Gilligan on Tower Hamlets

It is a excellent worthwhile article that every resident of Tower Hamlets and every dimwit Rahman supporter should read .

Rahman responds

Rahman says nothing new in the article which is for the Observer. He should resign and let the good people of Tower Hamlets elect a decent Mayor .

Sleeping bag

Looking at the weather in Tower Hamlets today I could do with a sleeping bag .

Qatar Canary Wharf bid rejected

Who would have thought 20 years ago there would be this kind of bid for Canary Wharf? This part of Tower Hamlets has changed a lot .

Livingstone needs to get real

Ken Livingstone and his defense of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets is a joke. He needs to get real Ed Miliband should not be taking advise from this dimwit .

Rahman defenders

It's good to see that people like George Galloway and Ken Livingstone as well as the head of the CWU are defending the Mayor of Tower Hamlets. They are to the very left of left wing politics in the UK. No mainstream Labour figure has come out to defend him .

Rahman BBC interview

Can't watch the Mayor of Tower Hamlets. He makes me sick .

Livingstone supports Rahman

It is not surprising that the former Mayor of London would support the Mayor of Tower Hamlets considering what the Jewish Chronicle said about their association . They are as bad as each other.

Full statement

This is the full statement by Eric Pickles into Tower Hamlets .

Abdul Asad

I can't find much on the Cabinet Member for Adult Services who has been named in the PwC report. For a Tower Hamlets First Clir he is quite I met him a few times I did not know that he was a big part of Rahman's inner circle

Telegraph on Tower Hamlets

A interesting article about Tower Hamlets, Poplar Town Hall and the police investigation all the result of the PwC investigation .

PwC out tomorrow

Just my luck. The day that I am working all day is the day that the PwC report into Tower Hamlets Council is out .

East End Homes

It seems to me that Tower Hamlets Council is not the only local organisation playing the law. East End Homes are holding secret meetings .

Wilford for Parliament

I backed Chris Wilford for Mayor of Tower Hamlets. I think he will make a excellent Member of Parliament as well as Matt Smith in Bethnal Green and Bow .

Record property sales

It seems to be not just in Tower Hamlets .

Tall buildings

Even more tall buildings in Tower Hamlets .

Buy some torrture tools

It is a stunt in Brick Lane by Amnesty and thankfully not a new low for Tower Hamlets .

Tower Hamlets property

City AM has a interesting report on the Tower Hamlets property market and mainly Bow .

Hit and runs

We should be ashamed of ourselves in Tower Hamlets .

Carrot Cars

I live in Tower Hamlets and I have never heard of them .

Tall towers

It seems that 10 of the 12 tallest residential buildings will be in the Isle of Dogs. Tower Hamlets is the new Manhattan .

Getting the big guns

It seems that Tower Hamlets Mayor Rahman is getting a prominent barrister to defend him in the election petition .

Tower Hamlets Rugby

Tower Hamlets Council is not going to listen to Millwall Rugby Club . 

Election petition update

It seems that the people behind Tower Hamlets election petition are having a rough time .

Tower Hamlets population data

Ted Jeory has done some wonderful work and put a lot of time and effort into it. I have been concerned that Tower Hamlets has become too Bengali. Also one other fact is that the number of young people who speak English and who are not likely to be a part of the future Bengali Tower Hamlets. We don't need a Bengali Tower Hamlets. We need one Tower Hamlets for everyone .

University boycott

When I was at Londonmet from 2000-3 this kind of thing happened than .

Terrible environment news

This is terrible news for the environment of the area near London City Airport including Tower Hamlets .

Rightly so

I am not sure if Keith lives in Tower Hamlets but he rightly deserves this .

Street brawl

This is tame compared to what happened when Rahman was re-elected as the Mayor of Tower Hamlets.

New homes in the East

East End of London including Tower Hamlets seems to a place with a lot of new homes .

Jobs clinic

If you live in the Bethnal Green and Bow area of Tower Hamlets this might be worth a visit .

Sexual assault

Help the police by stopping this man from sexually assaulting other girls in Tower Hamlets .

Child poverty in Tower Hamlets

The Wharf has a article on child poverty in Tower Hamlets. It is detailed but it does not name the wards .

Office economics

It seems that office space supply rules in Tower Hamlets don't follow economic reality .

Odd grants in Tower Hamlets

Those grants are odd. It's nice to see that Tower Hamlets Council answering a question for once. They are hiding behind the PwC report .

Tower Hamlets grants

Mark Baynes raises some more important questions about the way that Tower Hamlets Council hands out grants .

Good work

It is good to see the Church of England supporting areas like Tower Hamlets .

Cuts to childern's services

One of the things that I have noticed missing about cuts to children's services in Tower Hamlets is a comment from the Mayor. Maybe he does not care about deaf children or maybe he does? He should answer .

"Trojan horse" London

One of the surprising things is that Sir John Cass School (not it's full name) was on the list. It is a Church of England school in Tower Hamlets .

Cricket win

Good to see that Tower Hamlets College are doing well in cricket .

Child poverty Tower Hamlets

I have covered this extensively last week .

New developments

Not just in Tower Hamlets .

Winter

Winter is coming and hopefully Mayor Rahman wont see it in office as Tower Hamlets Mayor.

The big wait

The big wait was not over this week as we did not get the PwC report into Tower Hamlets.

Animal project

The part of Tower Hamlets where I live some of the people still keep animals in the back garden .

Cost of living

It is very high in Tower Hamlets .

Freethinkers in Tower Hill

I would have loved to go to Tower Hill and tell all those freethinkers about the lack of religious freedom in Tower Hamlets .

Park damage

Thankfully we have Peter Golds to point out all the faults of the Rahman administration in Tower Hamlets .

Beyond a joke

Tower Hamlets Council listening to residents .

Child poverty

This time it's The Wharf on child poverty in Tower Hamlets .

Tower Hamlets poverty

The amount of poverty in Tower Hamlets is alarming .

Nursery cuts

It is a shame and a disgrace that Tower Hamlets has to close a nursery for vulnerable children. Tower Hamlets can spend it's money on any court case the Mayor wants but not on children. One of the woman voted for Rahman and now she is angry. Rahman has nothing but contempt for the people. Shame on him .

Tough questions for Gilligan

Tower Hamlets has been a difficult area to cycle in .

This week

I have been told that the PwC report into Tower Hamlets is this week and a lot of Tower Hamlets First Clir's are worried about it.

Well done

Tower Hamlets are good at playing football .

PwC Tower Hamlets

I have heard that the report should be out this week but I have not been able to confirm that for sure. The residents of Tower Hamlets have waited long enough.

Co-working Tower Hamlets

To be honest I have no idea what to make of it really .

Blackwell toll

Not likely to be popular in Tower Hamlets .

School visits

Ofsted is now taking a keen interest in visiting Tower Hamlets schools .

Service cuts to children's services

It is disgraceful that Tower Hamlets are cutting children's services whilst spending money on lawsuits and anything else that Mayor Rahman fancies like his car .

Shame on you Rahman

Rahman has no time for angry residents of Tower Hamlets. This is the same man who asked his party members to walk out of a council meeting as they did not like his waste of money for lawsuits been discussed. The man is arrogant and he has no shame. The residents of Tower Hamlets deserve better. There is time for Gaza but not this .

Hate preacher arrested

I think I may have missed this as I don't recall writing about this. It seems that a hate preacher has been arrested in Tower Hamlets .

RT on school raid

It's a bit late but RT are now reporting on the Tower Hamlets extremist school raid .

Solve some crime

Maybe the Deputy Borough Commander for Tower Hamlets can solve some crimes. There is a lot of it which has been ignored. Electoral fraud allegations for one .

Ripper chips

This is one of the few places left from the time of Jack the Ripper. He would not be able to tell today's Tower Hamlets from his time .

Blacksmith

I had no idea that we had a blacksmith in Tower Hamlets.

The real Rabina Khan

People of Tower Hamlets have a right to know who the real Rabina Khan is .

A bit late

This article is a bit late as this school raid in Tower Hamlets was covered by the Guardian a few days ago. It's good to see the Mail covering Tower Hamlets though .

Tower Hamlets, grants, wards, money

Mark Baynes has done a wonderful thing examining the data about Tower Hamlets and how grant money is spent. It is well worth a read. I am no expert but Baynes has a number of questions for Tower Hamlets.

Missed this

Even though this is old and I should have put it up sometime ago it shows how Tower Hamlets operates .

Lib Dems Conference

The Liberal Democrats Conference is been held in Glasgow. Where is the Tower Hamlets First one?

Rahman on Conservative conference

I was not going to post this. I don't agree or disagree with everything he says but it is more the tone of the article. He has a right to a fair comment but the way that the article is written reminds of the way that politics is conducted in Tower Hamlets .

School raid

This is the sort of thing that happens in Tower Hamlets now .

Eid donation

I live in Tower Hamlets and I have seen the dangers of religion. This is a good place to make your Eid donation to .

Brave women

They are indeed brave launching a book in Tower Hamlets which is becoming more and more religiously conservative it feels like now .

Youth fair

Tower Hamlets needs more things like this .

Rahman the game is up

The Mayor of Tower Hamlets does not seem to realise that his luck has ran out and the game is up .

Trojan horse

If Tower Hamlets denies it than in my experience it must be true or near to it .

Cabinet meeting

I wonder what is going to happen at Tower Hamlets cabinet meeting tonight?

Right Andy

Andy is right that every Tower Hamlets voter should stand together. I don't trust Tower Hamlets with my vote .

May on Tower Hamlets

It's good to see that Theresa May is talking about Tower Hamlets and comparing it to Birmingham. Let's now take action against this council .

Trojan Horse Tower Hamlets

This article makes uncomfortable reading for people living in Tower Hamlets but as a resident of Tower Hamlets I am not surprised by this though .

Building works

It happens all hours of day and night around here. Good old Tower Hamlets

Next scandal

Tower Hamlets Council has moved onto it's next scandal. Tower Hamlets is scandal ridden .

Trojan horse Tower Hamlets

It does not surprise me. I think that Tower Hamlets is going to be the next Rotherham .

Wrong

This article is wrong as I have discussed yesterday Ms Ali resigned because of the threat that she saw from Mrs Khan from Tower Hamlets First. Ms Ali is too much of a coward to fight it .

Child rape

Eight men of Albanian origin have been arrested in Tower Hamlets .

Low point

Tower Hamlets politics has hit a low point. Rushanara Ali the Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow rather than fight Tower Hamlets First has decided to give into them. It is a disgrace and I hope that people don't vote for her .

Too late Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets Council threaten residents if they are one day late or threaten people just generally. I have had experience of this. When it comes to them it seems that they can do anything they want to. Typical Tower Hamlets .

Sweet shop raid

This kind of thing can only happen in Tower Hamlets.

Extremism and sweets

This kind of thing does happen in Tower Hamlets .

Bad housing

This is the responilbity of Tower Hamlets Homes which is a offshoot of Tower Hamlets Council .

School on 5

A Tower Hamlets school is to star in a Channel 5 documentary .

More powers for England

We need more powers for England not sure where Tower Hamlets would fit into this model .

That long

That is a long time. It's even before Tower Hamlets or the Metropolitan Boroughs were here .

a good cause

Richard House does wonderful work in London. It is good to see that people are supporting it. People in tower Hamlets are more interested in donating to mosques .

Shadwell murder

I live in Tower Hamlets in a area near Shadwell and I don't remember this murder .

Salmond the democrat

I did say that I was going to be returning to Tower Hamlets politics but I could not resist sharing this. It shows how much contempt Salmond has for the Scottish people. You have to read the article to believe it. The man is a moron .

Broadbent is excellent

Giles Broadbent has a excellent comment in The Wharf. I would like to address one of the points. Mayor Rahman and his team wasted council time on Gaza and now they are accusing Peter Golds of doing the same. Tower Hamlets is a disgrace .

Last reunion

It's sad to see that this is the last reunion of the Tower Hamlets School for Girls. It is a shame Mulberry have not invited them .

Chickens in Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets is getting to a third world area .

Back to Tower Hamlets

Scotland is now over so I am coming back to covering Tower Hamlets.

We won

We have won the Scottish referendum. Unlike Tower Hamlets.

My country

Tomorrow I hope to wake up to see the UK still intact and not destroyed by the politics of hate of Alex Salmond. He has done more damage than Rahman in Tower Hamlets.

Big day

Today is the big day in Scotland let's hope it's cleaner than Tower Hamlets but sadly I don't think so.

Rest of UK anger

It seems that the rest of the UK is getting angry with Scotland now. This is what I hear and feel. If they want to stay fine but if they leave they are on their own.

Last day

Last day before they decide in Scotland. Let's hope they don't make the same mistake as Tower Hamlets.

Tower Hamlets culture

Good to see some culture in Tower Hamlets .

No shame

The Mayor and Tower Hamlets Council have no shame .

Rahman and Salmond

I have been told by a friend of mine that Salmond is using some of the tactics that Rahman used in Tower Hamlets in Scotland. My question is how is this possible?

Bad IT

The Idea Store computers were down today. It happens a lot. Tower Hamlets spends its money defending that dimwit Mayor instead of services to the public. Nice new buildings but crap service.

Still Scotland

I am still taking part in the Scotland debate on twitter. Tower Hamlets will have to wait for PwC report to come out.

Not a great loss

Shadwell is a damp in Tower Hamlets.

Scottish politics

I am still debating and it is exciting. It has taken me away from Tower Hamlets politics but to be fair nothing is happening in Tower Hamlets politics now really.

Good Facebook page

Tower Hamlets for a few days might have to take the backseat with me. The bigger issue is saving the union. It's good to see that there is a Facebook page which says exactly what I think of Alex Salmond .

Scottish referendum

I am very much enjoying taking part in the Scottish referendum online debate.

Save playground

This is how the children of Tower Hamlets are impacted by people having too many children .

No response

I have covered this story before but I am interested in what The Wharf says at the end that Tower Hamlets which employs a Communications Director at £100k plus has not responded to press inquiries .

Behaving like children

It is amazing that elected members of Tower Hamlets can behave in such a manner. This is a one man show. Luckily the residents of Tower Hamlets have Peter Golds to look out for our interests .

Tower Hamlets football

Does anyone watch Tower Hamlets play football ?

Mayor rethink

I can't see Mayor Rahman doing much of a rethink. The comment under the article says a lot about how the mind of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets works .

Been a no supporter in Scotland

This reminds me of what happened to people who opposed Mayor Rahman of Tower Hamlets .

About time

It's good that the report on Tower Hamlets by PwC is due to be out in a matter of days. The Mayor has been trying to stop it .

Ignoring legal judgements

It seems that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets feels that he can ignore judgements from the courts .

Pointless appeal

The Mayor of Tower Hamlets is supposed to be a lawyer. Looking at the current court cases and his application of human rights law not a very good one. He has lost the case so why appeal and waste public money ?

Rowling is right

JK Rowling is right. Alex Salmon is ranting along with a lot of his supporters. I would say that he is making things up .

Don't believe the polls

You shouldn't really believe the polls. In Tower Hamlets they said that Biggs was going to win but Rahman won .

Keep the Union

As a Southerner living in London I did not care much about the Scots. However we must keep the Union together. I live in Tower Hamlets but it does have an impact on me .

Ideas to spend money

Mayor Rahman of Tower Hamlets doesn't need any suggestions on how to spend money. He is a expert on it. Take a look at the recent court cases involving Tower Hamlets .

Rahman loses

The Advertiser has a article on the case taken by the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to try to stop the PwC audit of Tower Hamlets. How can such a hopeless and stupid case be taken to a court of law in the first place? Someone needs to stop Rahman .

Marking the war

It is good to see that Tower Hamlets children are marking WW1 .

Rahman loses

Besides winning the election losing court cases is getting to be a habit for the Mayor of Tower Hamlets. No media has covered this as far as I can find out. Ted Jeory has tweeted that the Mayor lost his High Court action against Eric Pickles sending in PwC .

Tower Hamlets was a different world in those days. Now it is more religious extremists .

Little coverage

It is amazing how little coverage there is of the black flag in Tower Hamlets today. The media must have moved on.

Disgraceful politics

There are good people living here but this kind of thing does not help .

Palestine flag over Tower Hamlets

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the issues the Mayor of Tower Hamlets should not be doing this. First of all foreign policy is none of his business. This is a cynical attempt to sure up his electorate .

No point in lobbying

There is no point in lobbying Tower Hamlets as those policies have nothing to do with Tower Hamlets Council .

Floating village

Even Dave Hill of the Guardian thinks this is a good idea. Personally I think that the Mayor of Newham should embrace change like they have in Hackney and Tower Hamlets .

Tower Hamlets borrowing

It will happen after the PwC investigation is over into Tower Hamlets .

Rahman may rejoin Labour

Thousands lining the streets

Thousands of people are lining the streets of Tower Hamlets and Hackney and in the case of Tower Hamlets it has nothing to do with election violence .

Judicial reveiw PwC

It seems that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets has decided to use public money for a judicial review over the investigation by PwC into Tower Hamlets. What a waste of money .

Speak English

Everyone who is either a member or an officer of Tower Hamlets should speak English. It is a disgrace that people speak Bengali in council meetings. I have seen staff speak Bengali to each other in front of me in council offices. Utter disgrace .

Beyond a joke

I know that Tower Hamlets Council takes the piss with residents and anyone else who has the nerve to ask for information. However this is a new low for Tower Hamlets to not pass on information to government appointed auditors. We the taxpayers of Tower Hamlets are paying for this .

Failing school

Tower Hamlets does have a failing school .

Islamist group banned

This Islamist group with links to Brick Lane has been banned by the Home Secretary. This is good news for the people of Tower Hamlets. If people in Tower Hamlets want to drink it is their business and not the Islamist's .

It seems that the problems for the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and his supporters have not gone away. It has been over a month now since the election. I like what Andy Erlam said at the end of the article. Also there is allegations involving a council officer who is a senior member of IFE. There are many people in Tower Hamlets who still question the election .

It's really hot in Tower Hamlets.

Right on Andrew Wood

Andrew Wood is one of the reasons why I am glad I voted Conservative. Wood is standing up for media freedom in Tower Hamlets. His views on Tower Hamlets Council are right. He will be a great addition to the Conservative Party .

New way to buy property

This kind of scheme will increase prices in places like Tower Hamlets .

Trojan Horse London

There is mention of Tower Hamlets in this article. It appears that the officers at Tower Hamlets did the right thing by telling the government .

Bogus candidates in Tower Hamlets

The politics of Tower Hamlets get odder everyday. As a resident even I am shocked by what Andrew Gilligan has exposed in Tower Hamlets. The Telegraph has done a wonderful job .

Election petition

I have tried to find a copy of it but I can't find it. It is not even been covered in the local papers which is amazing for Tower Hamlets .

Fisk on Iraq conflict

Robert Fisk is one of the most knowledgeable people on the Middle East and his views on the suitation in Iraq are worth listening to. I have for many years said that Saudi Arabia is a danger. At the moment it is a religious war fought by the Saudi's on one side and Iran on the other side . 

Democracy Tower Hamlets style

Reading this document you can see how democratic and transparent Tower Hamlets is .

Jeory and the spin doctor

I got an email from Takki which I have forwarded to Mark Baynes at Love Wapping and I still have. I felt sorry for him for a few seconds than I realised the kind of abuse that people like Peter Golds get.

Uber strike

It did not have any impact in Tower Hamlets .

Tower Hamlets taking action

Tower Hamlets always take action on electoral fraud but it does not do any good .

I live in Tower Hamlets but I can't speak the language .
