The following has been obtained by AADHIKARonline research unit at appx 0200 Hrs GMT today Wednesday 9 July 2008 from a blog published by a former Conservative councillor who is based in Kent England UK. The reference to Tower Hamlets, Council is the reason for this being published by AADHIKARonline. The blogger is called Dan Hassett. We are publishing the following just for the record. AADHIKARonline will comment on the situation in Tower Hamlets as part of the continuing, ongoing, daily commentary.

"

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has apparently
taken the bizarre step of abolishing the Official Opposition status,
because they were unhappy that the Conservatives were the opposition
after Respect collapsed on itself. They have now given the chief
scrutiny roles to their own councillors, and even have a Cabinet
member on the scrutiny committee. The Conservatives there rightly
refuse to take their seats on the committee in protest, but attend in an
individual role to oversee the committee.
