The BHANGEELAAR! campaign against an elected mayor in Tower Hamlets is continuing to campaign for a democratic, accountable local Council in Tower Hamlets.
Our campaign is active to make sure that the corrupting clique that controls Tower Council is replaced by a non-corrupt and pro-democratic accountable administration.
We also believe that Ken Livingstone and his 'allies' were wrong to say – as they did on 6 February 2010 at the Brady Centre in Hanbury Street London E1- that a directly elected mayor will make things better in Tower Hamlets. We believe that Ken Livingstone was wrong because he was told to say that by his ‘local’ links who have no interests in backing a democratic environment.
We believe that the only future that ordinary people in Tower Hamlets deserve in the context of the locally elected Borough Council is one where the local Council does the job it is elected and funded to do: serve the local community in the universally objective and democratic sense. This is not happening at present. And the reason why this is not happening is because the Council is in the control of a corrupt clique.
Those who have promoted the idea of a directly elected mayor in Tower Hamlets have not shown that they understand this. Or, more importantly, that they are interested in supporting an alternative to corruption in the actual control of the Council.
The only way that we can have a Council free from corruption is by the democratic organisation and coming together of local people in Tower Hamlets regardless of party political line.
The BHANGEELAAR! Campaign is part of this movement.
SAY NO to an elected mayor in Tower Hamlets.
