Worst level of "child poverty" in the UK: Where? Tower Hamlets

For over 50 years I have been witnessing the poverty-creation programme as it is carried out in Tower Hamlets. in fact, my observation of Tower Hamlets began even before this name was created. Even before Tower Hamlets existed. It was just after the start of 1961 that I began to do the paperwork for the then young underemployed villagers in Seelot [Sylhet in English is actually Seelot in the Seelotee language] who had desperately needed to escape. I was a one man campaign to implement that escape. Fifty years later, I am still doing it. Observing the state of poverty. And today, Tuesday 10 January 2012 the news is the same. For me the most important item in the news is the confession that Tower Hamlets is blighted by the UK’s worst “chid poverty”. I don’t agree with the phrase. But this is a point of detail. The main collective issue is that “Child poverty” is within the facts of poverty. And the fact that this aspect of poverty is admittedly in its worst form in the current Tower Hamlets population is proof once again that the “elected” postholders in the name of the people of and in Tower Hamlets have been participating in various miniature projects of lying. They do not admit that the borough is so blighted. In fact their lie is carried out by exhibiting the fantasy that Tower Hamlets is doing very well. So poverty in Tower Hamlets is not limited to just material poverty. It is spiritual poverty as well as moral, ethical and democratic poverty.
