But there are a few who think human trafficking is okay.

Personally, I'd rather we ensured immigrants, from wherever, are first world in their outlook and education. And fully house/toilet trained.

there was a human st on my street this morning, but i think it was beth the tramp rather than any of the banglas...

they all have lambos and m3's, and get free toilets in their nice council houses.

It is all too late anyhow as it's been getting gradually worse over the past 15 years. I read 60%+ of school children in TH are now of Bangladeshi origin.

That may be the case but educational standards are getting better:

that magazine is a political one funded by the mayor ... it comes through my door and is full of tower hamlets success stories. Fails to mention the 50% youth unemployment and rampant drug dealing

Possibly, I should have explained my point more but unless they have lied about the GCSE results over the last 15(ish)years have improved where as the guy above was saying things over the last 15 years in relation to schools have been getting worse.

Propaganda will always gloss over the negative, that isn't something exclusive to TH

[Oakey]

How do we know the GCSE results aren't rigged as well?

LBTH always has been politically chequered but the local politics has now descended to third-world levels. Rahman has been mayor for four years and that period of time has been marked by racism, division and unbelievable levels of corruption in the borough. His cabinet is made up entirely of Bangladeshi men - with one exception (a Bangladeshi woman), almost all of whom have criminal records for fraud, violence or intimidation. His recent election victory (mayoral election on the same night at the recent euro-MP's election) shows both how badly sewn-up the election process is and how tribal the Bangladeshi population has become; they will only vote for another Bangladeshi, knowing that a Bangladeshi will favour his own when it comes to handing out grants, money and jobs. Your typical Bangladeshi councillor in LBTH is unemployed (although a couple of them are taxi drivers), who see their payments for being a councillor as being an extension of their benefits but who rarely see fit to show up to council meetings. Hell, even the mayor refuses to answer questions in the council chamber because it infringes his human rights. Yes, really. Notable supporters of Lutfur Rahman include George Galloway and Ken Livingstone, although Rahman's politics are (IMHO) significantly more disgusting than those of either Galloway or Livingstone.

This however isn't true. The East London Advertiser is independent (and tends to tell the truth). East End Life however is owned by and run by LBTH, parades Rahman's picture between 12 and 15 times in each edition and tells how great the Mayor is. And yes, it's remarkably silent about the local 'yoof' and their highly illegal activities (most of which are ignored by the local police, too.)

This is multi-cultural Britain, boys. Get used to it.

Maybe we should send Farage there and see what he thinks?

Was Lutfur born here or is he an immigrant?

I couldn't care less where he was born tbh. I've just never met an Eastern European who thinks a toilet seat is for squatting on.

I don't care where he's from really either. But if we found him guilty of some kind of wrongdoing and we weren't in the EU would we be able to send him 'home'?

No he has a nice shiny UK passport so EU or not he ain't going anywhere. Although it would be easier to make up a criminal case abroad and have him deported without the ECHR intervening.

He'd no doubt be given refuge in the Bangladeshi embassy.

Well they finally finished the recount for Bromley South about an hour ago
http://moderngov.towerhamlets.gov.uk/mgElectionAre...
10 votes between the 2nd (elected) and the 3rd/4th (unelected) candidates so maybe a couple of careful recounts were required but still doesn't seem to excuse why they took so much longer than all their other counts.

Any irony in their results website having the host name "moderngov" and their twitter username being towerhamletsnow? Is that supposed to fool their residents into thinking the council is competent?

Electoral commission has put out a pathetic statement
http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/journ...
http://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/news__events/news/m...

"There have also been concerns expressed about voter intimidation, although the police have so far received no criminal allegations relating to activity at polling stations in the borough from either campaigners or voters."

... well that's because they've all been intimidated against speaking out!?

"As part of our review we will be talking to the Returning Officer and Regional Returning Officer. We will be looking closely at what happened during the count, as well as the planning that took place beforehand."

... need to do more than just talk to them given all the evidence mounting. Next election need to either ship all the votes off to some other borough to be counted, or parachute in an elite team from another seat to oversee it.

I now have an image of a blue rinse brigade led by Doris from number 54 swooping in using SAS kit...

Wow, I cannot believe that this farce has not been mainstream news, this is akin to gerrymandering. If this was a white council doing this the Beeb would be over it like a rash.

Seriously something wring with all of this, needs investigating, the Mayor should be removed, the council itself should be suspended. Has this really been going on for 4 years. I'm staggered.

Fully agree. The mainstream news has just been skirting around the issue. The festering st-hole centre point of mass immigration has been revealed - Tower Shamlets.

This should be the lead story on all channels - it's an insult to our democratic free society.

UKIPs vote would be even higher if it were, and that's probably what's stopping the BBC from elaborating on the subject.

And never mind the wet-ass electoral commission getting involved, it sounds like the SCA and MI5 need to be going in.

So, We make a big fuss and the Mayor is removed from office, then what ?

Loads of indoctrinated people will whip up other indoctrinated people against the "Govt." and its oppression of their freedoms. Short step to riots and unrest.

We have this problem but we cant actually do anything about it you see. Welcome to the multicultural Britain of today.

[jogon]

Ha good luck with that one. There is more chance of a stoning square been built outside Tower Hamlets Town Hall than a proper investigation in to the corruption that plagues the borough.

I don't understand why the people hanging around near polling stations could not be removed. If they repeatedly cause a problem waste their time in a police station for the rest of polling day. Same goes for leaflets etc in the polling stations. 10 police people per polling station, and find the people to hand out the polling cards from outside the area. After polling is done, take ballot boxes to be counted in Truro. Roll back postal voting to only where you have a good reason and link voting to NI numbers (which I gather is already coming in).

A total and utter lack of backbone within mainstream politics to put a stop to this. Meanwhile we can have a trillion inquiries into what some cabinet minister said, or didn't say to a policeman.

It beggers belief that the politicians whinge on about the recent elections in Crimea and certain parts of Ukraine being illegal, yet here on our doorstep, a certain section of our population exploit the country that gives them housing and work, and act in a manner that is clearly third world, and the politicians just sit on their hands and do f+ck all.

Absolutely agree with both of the above. Sadly, can't see things changing any time soon.

[Getragdogleg]

We don't want to upset them. They are organised and will cut up rough if they are instructed to.

This is why Ukip and the like are getting votes. The population who can see the lack of action toward the undesirable side of having an open door are getting pissed off.
