Gordon Brown can listen to the East End campaign against Crossrail hole plot : He can scrap Crossrail and save his reputation... and a great deal more

Days before the Crew and Nantwich by-election, I had said :

“Gordon Brown can only really ride the Crewe 'derailment' out by telling the truth and nothing but the truth.....And by scrapping all wrong deals...”


Now that the Crewe derailment has been confirmed and even the Guardian is openly touting for a challenger to Brown ti come out in the fashion of Geoffrey Howe’s stabbing of Margaret Thatcher, I have the following clear call to Brown: tell the truth Gordon and stop all attacks on people in ‘low’ income and people who are already disenfranchised in society.

Why?

Because if David Ca-Moron can make a ‘surprise’ appearance in the East End of London, right in the middle of the ‘most widely known multiracial, multi- cultural’ part of inner city London, and if he can do so on a spot inches away from ‘Atlee House’ in Toynbee Hall, in Commercial Street [in memory of Clement Atlee, one of Gordon Brown’s predecessor at No 10 Downing Street] and then make a stunt appearance look even semi- ‘credible’ as he promises to solve the problem of ‘homelessness’, then it must be time fro Gordon Brown to be told to listen really hard. And fast. And to act on what he is being told.


I am telling Gordon Brown from Brick Lane, which is the next street along side Commercial Street.


I am telling Brown that the David Ca-Morn circus is not as yet real. Ordinary people in these streets still do not relate to the Ca-Morn party.


But then the ordinary people do not relate to the former Labour Party now Blaired, either.


But there is an at atmosphere which Blair created . that atmosphere is one contempt for the time-servers appearing in the name of the former Labour Party, now Blaired and fronted by Gordon Brown.


There is thus an emptiness.

The ‘party people’ ‘who are successful’ [and thus the ‘visible, flaunted faces’ of the Blaired Party] in the East End of London are almost all of them linked with the local Blaired Tower Hamlets Council.

And the Councillors, especially those who are part of the operation of the corrupt Council’s controlling clique, are widely associated with misconduct, selfishness, sleaze and corruption and are perceived to be misbehaving selfish sleazy and corrupt.

If there is a challenge to Gordon Brown’s claim to legitimacy, the challenge itself can gain legitimacy from the continuation of the misconduct and sleaze that leads to this perception.

And Gordon Brown, by all accounts, is NOT getting this analysis from his ‘advisers’. Be the ‘advisers’ are placed in his kitchen. Be they placed in his cabinet. Or in between. Or on n the corridors at the expansive No 10 Downing Street.

Gordon Brown cannot retain any electoral credibility in the East End of London if the ‘best’ that the Blaired Party he fronts can do in Tower Hamlets is to resort to perhaps the most discredited parts of the population for ‘support.

As has been witnessed again in the past 3 weeks during the staging of the ‘local council clique equivalent’ of the fish market where individual councillors were being bought and sold in return for token [and cash-incentived] places in the hocus pocus cabinet on the Tower Hamlets Council.

So widely discredited is the Blaired party controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council that Ca-Moron’s man on the Council from the ca-Moron enclave so far sited on and around the Isle of Dogs, Peter Gould, decided last Wednesday [21 May 2008] to openly mock the entire process of ‘leader-making’ that formally took place in the Council chamber. The location was the antisocially sited, remote and antidemocratic ‘Mulberry Place’.

Although Peter Gould is not known to be a likely contender himself personally for any of the Council ward seats in the Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green ‘south’ and Stepney London E1 area, it is conceivable that come any general election, his band and his brazenness will be positively treated by many voters, indeed a large chunk in the electorate, who would have been counted as ‘solid’ ‘traditional’ supporters of the former Labour Party even as recently as 1 May 2008.

The electoral and the political map is undergoing faster change in the East End fo London than Gordon Brown appears to know.

On all key issues, the ‘Blaired party timeservers’ operating in the name and at the expense of ordinary people in the East End fo London, are failing.

Whether by design or by ignorance, or by lack of basic abilities, basic knowledge and basic competence, is not going to excuse their failures and their misrepresenting the community.

The people have only one answer: TO VOTE THEM OUT at the available next election.

People, fed up with the open abuse of the peoples votes and 'trust' by the Blaired party councillors, will want to give the official Tories a chance.

Tower Hamlets Council is looking set to become a Tory-makrooty council. Sooner rather than later!

And that is a serious state of affairs.

Even to think that is to accept that ‘thanks’ [!!!!] to the misconduct, abuse and sleaze and lack of accountability by the Blaired party councillors for years in the East End of London, local people are ready to give the definitive thumps up to the official Tories so that the “official Tories can try to deliver...”

Once that happens, that will be the end of the former Labour Party in the East End of London.


Unless of course the Ca-Moron Conservatives commit a most unpredictable blunder of lasting repercussions against them!

[To be continued]

Defiant Brown 'listening' to electorate

Gordon Brown has said he is listening to the electorate and brushed off questions suggesting Labour MPs may move against his leadership.

Journalists questioned him during a visit to London's St Thomas's hospital where Brown said the public wanted the government to address economic challenges.

Reacting to the hammering his party took in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election the prime minister said the message was "clear and unequivocal".

"People are concerned. They are concerned about food prices, concerned about petrol prices and concerned about what is happening to the economy."

He said that the government was working towards addressing these problems.

The prime minister added that his task was to take the economy through the difficult times ahead.

Asked how he could reassure his own backbenchers he said: "People know that the task ahead is to take the British economy through what are very difficult times, difficult times in every country.

"The message from the voters is very clear: people want us to address what are very real challenges, challenges of rising petrol prices when people go to the petrol station, challenges in the supermarket when people see rising food prices, challenges of gas and electricity bills going up as a result of oil prices going up.

"We will address these problems and the message that I think is absolutely clear and unequivocal is that the direction of the government is to address all these major concerns that people have.
