BIGGER THAN RUPERT MURDOCH’s GLOBAL MEDIA
EMPIRE could ever do to justify its many claims...
We have been reporting for the East End now for 31 years.
But we are associated with either outlets that have carried out pioneering
journalism for more than fifty years about and for the East End of
London. Combining the evidential and the empirical resources of the
two strands of unique action defending the people in the area and
sending the message to the same effect for the people way beyond the
borders and boundaries of London and the UK, we are bringing about
a local record for universal values and rights that is not matched by
Rupert Murdoch... Despite his bombastic claims, as glimpsed during
his ‘humble day’ appearance before a committee of MPs in the British
House of Commons, Rupert Murdoch’s global empire is not serving
the people. Not globally. Certainly not in the Eats End of London! yet
it is here that the Murdoch Empire is actually housed! Not in the USA,
contrary to the impression that he gives and the impression that the
“Fleet Street” “main stream newspapers” give... So what it is that we
have been serving for the record and on the record for the people that
even Murdoch has failed to even think of doing: We have been telling
the truth about the East End people and we have been campaigning for
the community of people and the lawful enterprises... And much else
besides...
Over the next seven days we shall be reporting on the Brick Lane
London E1 area covering all the events and trends that matter to the
local community. Residents and businesses. we shall look in depth at
the POLICE RAID on a number of Brick Lane curry restaurants on 19
July 2011 and 27 July 2011. We shall analyse the role of Tower
Hamlets Council as the ‘Licensing ’ authority in the context of the
raids and publish the latest findings of our investigation into the claim
by Tower Hamlets Council that they are helping the small and micro
businesses in the area. Does Tower Hamlets Council have the right, on
the facts of its behaviour, to make the claims that it is helping the
lawful businesses and the healthy,m safe and hygienic life of the local
community? Is this why there is filth in the streets? Tower Hamlets
Council letting ‘anonymous’ yobs to daily and mostly nightly and
even more frequently during the early hours of the day - litter the
streets and pavements with the effects of bad behaviour and disrespect
tom local residents and assaults on local law abiding businesses?.

2012 “listing” of Brick Lane as ‘Curry Capital”
is not reality on the ground as Tower Hamlets, the ‘local Council’ fails to show respect to the community. The
standard of the Council's service e is low and is getting lower...

yob behaviour...
IN THE NEXT editions, we shall
be bringing updater reports
including interviews with the

Excellent. Great decision. Why on earth does London have this nonsensical policy to dump people on benefits in the middle of affluent areas in the fantasy that the wealth will somehow rub off on the poor? It beggars belief.
The precise reason that canary wharf does not have a sense of community (as councillor Peter Golds alludes to) is because of the ridiculous idea to mix these residential developments. It is why middle class families do not see canary wharf as a realistic place to live. The simple fact is they do not want to be rubbing shoulders with unemployed people on benefits.
I live in the canary central development which in itself is full of pleasant hard working people. However, TH council forced the developers to build social housing right next door in a bizarre effort to mix the community. What we now have is some people working incredibly hard to buy a 2 bed flat for £400k, whilst next door someone on benefits gets it for free. We also have a terrible problem with dog mess from dog owners within the social housing site next door and rowdy anti-social teenagers.
The idea of social inclusion is bonkers!! The two parts of the development NEVER interact. Furthermore, any young middle class families are forced to leave the isle of dogs when their kids reach schooling age because the schools are full of children from parents on benefits.
It really is a tragic state of affairs and unless it is changed, CW will never become a stable, safe and pleasant residential area. Sticking the social housing developments right next to the private developments offers no benefit to either cohort.
Completely agree with Steve Arnold. Why on Earth these people are able to be on benefits and given houses or flats to live in within exclusive areas is hard to fathom. People work all their lives to afford these properties and if people choose not to work then the choice should be made for them by making the houses available to them in areas outside of London.
Both of you appear to be of the misinformed opinion that everyone in Social Housing is on benefits. Little do you realise that any number of the future owners of these properties could let them out to private renters who... then claim Housing Benefit.
You appear to live in a black and white world where you can either afford a £400k flat, or alternatively, you are on benefits.
Where are young people supposed to live, the old, the hard working low paid?
Your arguments are ill thought through, terribly prejudiced and although I am not saying there is not some merit in the discussion, your base assumptions and ignorance is quite disgraceful.
Mike and Steve - your comments are hilariously outrageous and unbelievably ignorant. I would challenge you as to whether you genuinely believe what you're writing, but shamefully I've heard other similar narrow minded comments from others living in the so-called more "exclusive" areas of the Isle of Dogs. I also doubt you could qualify them with anything even remotely sound, besides annecdotes of yobs outside your house.
You do realise that the Isle of Dogs and the wider area surrounding it already had residents before all the glossy towers started popping up. Presumably you are suggesting those that have lived here all their lives are fair game when it comes to developers pricing them and their children out of the area - both in terms buying and rental.
Granted we live in a largely capitalist market, but we are also supposed to be a civilised and developed country where decisions on development need not solely be focused on money, greed and ignorance - which seems to be the principles you value your existence by, which is fine, because to be honest, you're probably in the minority.
i agree w the first comment, why do the councillors think that people on benifits and low incomes can afford to live in that area anyway? its crazy to think people will get their benifits on a monday morning and then stroll into cabot circus to buy their groceries?
