What's going on in Tower Hamlets?

Posted 19 Oct 2010 by Walaa Idris

Lots of talk about possible fraud and extremist Islamist groups possibly funding a rogue expelled candidate not to mention Ken (Livingston) up to his old controversial self, backing the expelled Labour (now independent) candidate!

It all sounds so very intriguing and treacherous like a whole different world where elections are fixed; officials look the other way, corruption is rife with 1 billion pounds of tax payers’ stake, all that before polling day!

One question though, who is monitoring all of this and what do they make of it, if its lies shouldn’t they refute them and put the publics’ mind at ease, and if there is truth to any of these allegations shouldn’t the Tower Hamlets’ Mayor Election be propounded until things are sorted out!?

Click on my name for some of the background on Lutfur Rahman, the enmity between him and Andrew Gilligan and how unfairly he was expelled from the Labour Party.

“I am disappointed by the way the NEC handled the selection in Tower Hamlets and I am sure that under Ed Miliband’s leadership things would have been handled differently. However, my position is clear: I fully support Labour candidates in all elections and I am calling for Tower Hamlets residents to use their first preference vote for our candidate Helal Abbas. A second preference should be used for Lutfur Rahman to keep the Tories out.”
