EAST END CAMPAIGN FOR A DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL, BHANGEELAAR! Challenges Tower Hamlets Councillors ...
That challenge is to “all the elected councillors on Tower Hamlets Council [to join the community and to take] part in a political march calling for the people of Tower Hamlets to be properly recognised”.
This genuine grassroots democratic action campaign challenge has been made in the last 30 minutes on the London GUARDIAN web site.
The Guardian LONDON BLOG had earlier published a piece by Dave Hill bringing upto date [in his subjective view] the facts of Tower Hamlets being the only Olympic London Borough that is being left out of an Olympic event.
Responding to that comment, the BHANGEELAAR! Campaign against an elected executive mayor in Tower Hamlets has posted this on the Guardian London Blog:
[The full texts of the BHANGEELAAR! comment on the 2012 Games Hosting bureaucrats excluding Tower Hamlets from the main events schedules] FOLLOWS

Dave, at the time of writing, we notice you have presented five separate items of your ‘case’. This editon of your blog plus three ‘responses’ and then a reference to your long plug for the Lutfur Rahman-imaged Tower Hamlets Borough Council dated in February 2011.
You may not have the space or the editorial scope to carry all the evidential replies that arise. However, we shall record a few of the most pressing evidential points for the time being. We shall attempt to come back should that too become evidentially necessary in context. We entirely agree with your statement in your main blog:
“What is beyond dispute is that Tower Hamlets has become an Olympic borough that will not host an Olympic event." Your blog makes all causal references for this state of affairs to Locog , Seb Coe et al.
It presents Tower Hamlets Council as being left helpless to much beyond their claimed bid for judicial review. You have left out some key facts.
While we agree that the 2012 Games Hosting bureaucracies and Seb Coe have made the decisive decisions leaving out Tower Ha,tes as you state, we do not see any evidence to substantiate any claim by Tower Hamlets Council -whether already made or potential likely to be made - to the effect that they had been left helpless. We have argued - and we have told you in very brief terms but consistently since we agreed to post on your blog beginning in September 2010 - for the appearance of an active and a democratic council in Tower Hamlets.
Here is a clue as to what we mean: wouldn't Seb Coe et al get a good political reminder if all the elected councillors on Tower Hamlets Council joined the community and took part in a political, march calling for the people of Tower Hamlets to be properly recognised ?
We are making this call here and we shall post responses or lack of them for your visitors and readers after a reasonable time in context.
