It is never a good policy for anyone with any “power” that affects other people to use that power carelessly. It is always counterproductive to ignore wise advice. What the “power”-holders must understand is that “power” is a mirage. It is not to be taken for granted. What matters more is character.
In a week that has been dominated partly in Britain by the row started by David Cameron’s manipulative use of Sayeeda Warsi as a Champion of “Christianity” and generally of theism as the CON-DAVE propaganda cover, we can say that what we are saying here about character is true of those who are believers in God as well as of non-believers.
Without such moral character, there is no true point in anything any human does. By character we mean the unambiguous evidence of honesty, integrity and reliability AND unselfishness AND true generosity of heart. Assuming of course the normal blessings of all the human faculties working in a person.
The crisis that faces Ken Livingstone’s re-election campaign has now engulfed Tower Hamlets Council. Something we have been exclusively examining.
We can say without any hesitation and most transparently that Ken Livingstone must ditch his manipulating behaviour.
There is nobody in Tower Hamlets Council or in any ”grouping” or “individuals” beneficially linked with the controlling elements in that Council who can say that they have any claim on the electoral intentions or behaviour of the people of the borough.
So Ken Livingstone must address the people of Tower Hamlets as a whole and come across and mean to come across as a modest servant of the community here. If he can do that, and if he DOES do that then the community will reciprocate and generally support him. Ken Livingstone cannot get re-elected in May 2012 unless in the next few weeks he can genuinely credibly demonstrate that he is no longer a manipulator of other people. [To be continued]
