UPDATING on the untruths that a Tower Hamlets Council town clerk asserted about "quality of service" and the outrageous disrespectfulness that “Dr” Kevan Collins exhibited towards “the poor” people of Tower Hamlets borough.
[“Dr”] Kevan Collins was quoted by Ross Lydall of the London EVENING STANDARD as saying the following:
"I liked the fact that what we were doing was high quality. Not in any way was it the case that because people were poor the services they got were poor."
1. How many “ways” had “Dr” Collins been aware of the “poor” people’s treatment by Tower Hamlets Council?
2. Who were the “poor” people in Tower Hamlets?
3. How many “poor” people had been pushed into poverty by the “services” “they got” from Tower Hamlets Council?
4. How many “poor” people were trapped into poverty because of the “services” “they got” from Tower Hamlets Council?
5. How many such “poor” people were prevented from getting any answers from “Dr” Kevan Collins during his time when they experienced very poor, nay, downright offensively poor and bad “service” from Tower Hamlets Council employees?
6. Will “Dr” Collins publish the evidence so that an objective and fair assessment can be made of his particular utterance of the untruth as quoted b y Ross Lydall of the London Evening Standard?
7. How did someone who faked his name and his descriptions for the manufacturing of the Channel 4 stunt programme even assume that all the thinking people of Tower Hamlets would be either too “poor” to notice his crafty behaviour or be so overwhelmed under the mountains of problems created by the his “favourite” “staff” that they would not be able to counter his fakery?
8. Do “Dr” Collins and the man whose name he impersonated and the [same] man whom he flaunted on the fabricated programme as broadcast on Channel 4 actually believe that his [their jointly perpetrated] deception on the general viewer was justified?
9. Does “Dr” Kevan Collins assume that because he has proven to be a crafty self-server and opportunist who “got away” with the significant rewards via Tower Hamlets Council bureaucracy that therefore justifies his insult to the vast majority of Tower Hamlets people who daily experience and suffer bad service or no service from tower Hamlets Council?
10. Where is the list of “whatever we were doing” that “Dr” Kevan Collins boasted as being “high quality”?
[“Dr” Kevan Collins will be EVIDENTIALLY and contextually and ethically and democratically and transparently diagnosed further and the updates posted here and on associated AADHIKARonline and KHOODEELAAR! tweets and blogs as well as on related web sites]

Council boss goes undercover to find staff are East End heroes
A different image of Tower Hamlets council is seen in a Channel 4 documentary tonight.
Its chief executive, Kevan Collins, agreed to spend a week undercover in preparation for forcing through cuts in excess of £50 million over the next three years (thanks to Whitehall's age of austerity).
The idea was for Mr Collins to go back to the "shopfront" and see how well - or poorly - the council's £1.2 billion annual budget was spent each year. But don't expect a horror story - what transpired was a soft-focus piece showing council staff as salt-of-the-earth EastEnders not even portrayed in the BBC1 soap.
Mr Collins, who partly disguised himself by changing his name to Colin, having his hair cropped, growing a beard and wearing a beany hat, also comes across well, too. It's a nice watch - Undercover Boss screens at 9pm - but hardly what I'd call investigative journalism.
After spending a week incognito, Mr Collins revealed his true identity to shocked staff - and said he had nothing but praise for their dedication to their jobs.
His council, which covers some of the most deprived parts of the East End, could lose up to a quarter of its government grant.
Mr Collins, 49, who began his career as a primary school teacher in Mile End, told me: "I liked the fact that what we were doing was high quality. Not in any way was it the case that because people were poor the services they got were poor."

Citing your quoting “Dr” Kevan Collins:
"I liked the fact that what we were doing was high quality. Not in any way was it the case that because people were poor the services they got were poor."
Questions arise:
Does that mean that poverty is a perfectly acceptable thing for the chief executive of the Council which is paying him over £200,000 per year in salary? Isn’t “Dr” Collins also “quietly” callous because the ONLY CASE where the “Services” were NOT poor were the ones involving those who were on hundreds of thousands of pounds in salary? How would THEY know what poor service was? The people who would know something about poor service would be those individuals, families and their neighbours who were being sanctioned, targeted, harassed by the DWP whose programme of poverty creation was being conducted by the services of Councils’ benefits administration departments. Have you asked “Dr” Collins to tell you about how many “social landlord” organisations [created to RAISE the levels of incomes of Tower Hamlets Council’s groups of employees who are now holding key positions in those organisations] carrying out de facto deportation schemes, driving entire groups of people out of their home neighbourhoods, estates and even borough? Have you noticed how stunningly quiet all those “elected” Councillors are as they have been complying with the agenda of the CONDEM Collusion carrying out the cuts programme that is driving the community out of Tower Hamlets? UNDERCOVER BOSS perfectly immune from audit or accountability as he “presides” over the destruction of the community by the cuts programme currently on!
