Muhammad Haque [see below] telling the DAILY Mirror’s Jason Beattie who has just aped the Guardian’s Dave Hill in the latter’s entry into the cave of disinformation as confected by the foul blog containers offered by the Conrad-Black and Barbara Amiel-linked London Daily Telegraph.
This diagnostic rebuttal of the ‘new’ line adopted by Dave Hill will continue into the next week.

MUHAMMAD HAQUE to Jason Beattie of the London DAILY MIRROR
Tuesday 19 October 2010
You say:
“Does this matter? Yes. Firstly, whoever is elected gets to run a £1billion budget in the Olympic borough. Secondly, there are fears Mr Rahman is being backed by fundamentalist Muslims who some claim are as much a threat to Labour as militant was in the 1980s.”
Firstly, you are wrong to repeat Harriet Harman’s anti-democratic ‘reasoning’ stated at the particular NEC decision-making meeting [as recounted by NEC member Christine Shawcroft and as publicly and legally UNCHALLENGED or contradicted by Harriet Harman or any other NEC member to this day] and secondly you are wrong to leave out the constitutional, the democratic and the social implications of the imposed alteration of the Council from being one administered by a leader with a cabinet to one at the mercy of a single individual who is given more powers as an 'elected' executive mayor than would be available to an entire elected council to exercise at any time in the ordinary life of a Council.
I am on the record as being the critic of the anti-democratic aspects of Ken Livingstone’s career, dating back to the day in 1981 that he ousted the Labour Party group leader Andrew McIntosh at the then just elected Greater London Council. So what do I think of what Livingstone is now saying about the Harriet Harman-fronted assault on basic democratic values that the Labour Party corruptocracy has just mounted so spectacularly over the Tower Hamlets mess that the same corruptocracy has been allowing to fester for almost 40 years? I find that on the available evidence so far, Livingstone has got it about right and that my prediction is that the movement for democratic accountability will gather substance and volume in the days, weeks and months to come and the movement will roll until the corruptocracy sees its latest outrage for what it is and reinstates the principles that the corruptocracy has trodden on for too long. Tower Hamlets is witnessing a mere preliminary display of the long overdue democratic reclamation of rights by the people across the UK. Hope that you are tolerant enough to print this rather than suppressing the views of a democratic opponent of what the controlling clique in Tower Hamlets want you to publish. On a final note: I invite you to deny that the Labour Party NEC and other decision-making bodies are OBLIGED to observe the requirements of the law and that no part of the Labour Party decision-making or activities is either exempt from the obligation to observe the law or to observe the law and be seen to be actually complying with the obligations.
