The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary

FILING these from the front lines  in the “East End” of London  where the “installed leaders” are either ostriches or they are drunk, on the real liquor or  the exaggerated impact of the brainwashing they receive in daily dosages: they are the approved leaders.

AS such they do not know the people in whose name they trade as such nor do they care for the rights of the people...

[UPDATE Part 1] 

The fight for the defence of the community is a fight that must be fought on several, parallel levels. 

It is not just the City of London interests and Big Business.

The fight is as intense against the ingrained ignorance of the “masses” who collectively constitute the first “body” that is “defended. 

The calamity of ignorance is so huge that it is most often the case that the Big Business wins simply because the masses are submerged in the ignorance that is their first contacted form of the real oppressor.

The concept of universality of values may be so “easy” for me to write about as I battle against indescribable physical obstructions in a rainy evening in the “East End” of London to get across to a “section” of “leaders” the plain importance of documentary evidential sources which warrant the highest respect, care and protection.

This is not the first time at all that the critical moment of my contextual encounter with the agencies of darkness has occurred during the past decades of battle.

There is the charade of amity that is put on by the perpetrators “possessing the levers of locally based power of the moment” DULY [unduly] followed by their sharp denial of all pretences at being consciously COMPLIANT with the morality and the ethics of their duties.

That denial is of course aggravated further by their countering all claims against them with a charge that the claimant is at fault for the callousness of the obstructors.

There, in the above summary, is a concise picture of the routine that is witnessed right across the “East End” of London every single day.

So the OPPRESSORS are not remote. They are most closely located and sited to the targets of the oppression.

Sometimes the proximity is so close that any recent observer who might have landed from Mars on this part of Planet Earth would be left with no logical alternative to concluding that these behavioural displays denote the absence of all distinctions between the right and the wrong, between the good and the bad, between the just and the unjust.

And between the contaminated and the clean.

WHAT IS this “TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL” that has allowed such outrageous “facts” to be put on permanent display? Firstly, it is the same core corrupt bureaucracy that had been involved i “inviting” the Crossrail hole attacks o the community. It was THE COMMUNITY Campaign, mobilised and conducted by KHOODEELAAR! that exposed that particular corrupt collusion and stopped the hole.

It is the same community that is now in mobilisation mode that will see that the latest assault by the corrupt  “TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL” bureaucracy is  admitted to and the “TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL” bureaucracy  is made to see the latest error of its ways and to apologise  immediately to the community for the outrageous distortion about Altab Ali and about Tosir Ali, Ishaque Ali and Kennith Singh and the others who were martyred by racists in  the same decades.

The offensive material must be withdrawn by “TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL” and a truthful ethical and universal message against discrimination of all descriptions and upholding the universal values of human rights and fundamental equality of entitlements put in

Altab Ali is the name of the Brick Lane London E1 area youth [aged about 24 years] who has become the central figure in the active history of the struggle for justice against racism in the East End of London. It is this potential that I had been thinking of when I chaired the first historic campaign against in the Commercial Road on the Sunday after Altab Ali was brutally murdered by a small gang of racists.

Had I not been aware of the perspective stated above, I could have allowed the anger the that filled the Grand Palais Cinema Hall to spill out into the streets and leading almost certainly to a serious act of violence with God knows what consequence/s.

Fortunately for all concerned, I had succeeded in containing the anger in that hall, as far as I could be heard by the mostly very angry and outraged Bangladeshi people who had gathered there despite it being a Sunday.

The event took place on 07 May 1978, effectively within 78 hours of the brutal murder of Altab Ali.

The gathering was held dispute the total negligence and indifference of the entirety of the then James Callaghan-fronted Labour Party.

The fact that we averted a violent end to that gathering meant that the Bangladeshi community was spared the indignity of being condemned in the UK media on Monday 08 May 1978.

Had the gathering moved to commit any of the hundreds that the most volatile of those present had wanted to carry out then the papers would have condemned US for responding to the attack on Altab Ali.

As things turned out, the later coverage by the UK mainstream media was very restrained and gave the impression that the community that the martyred Altab Ali had belonged to was as m deserving of support on objective, universal humanitarian grounds,.

Contrast that with the front-page of the London DAILY MAIL of Saturday 11 September 1993. That front page was devoted to the faces of a number of Metropolitan Policemen who had been “violently attacked” by angry demonstrators who had gathered outside the Royal London Hospital on Friday 10 September 1993 as a “vigil” for Quddus Ali.

That the community’s first spontaneous rally against the Altab Ali murder was a dignified but vocal and furious expression of outrage was a credit to all those present and backing action.

I shall later in these commentaries examine the implications of the staged response on 10 September 1993.

Our restraint on Sunday 07 May 1978 has served the argument of the community well ever since.

Yet the local Tower Hamlets Council has not shown the basic decency of respect and recognition to either the martyr himself or indeed to those of us who mobilised the political response to that outrage and violence.

This insult by Tower Hamlets Council must be withdrawn immediately and the Council must apologise to the Bangladeshi community at once. That apology must start with the Council apologising for insulting the memory of the martyr Altab Ali.

Tower Hamlets Council also must remove the two texts of the “history” about the murder of Altab Ali and the community’s response.

The first insult is that the two texts put on the so-called memorial board near the Adler Street bus stop on the Whitechapel Road are carelessly written. So much so that the date of Altab Ali’s murder is relegated to a later section and the “introduction” starts with “in 1994…”  Not 1978. The date of the murder 4th may 1978 occurs later into the texts.

The rest of the texts misrepresent the community’s response and I shall examine those one by one in this series.

But the worst insult is the variety of dates that the texts provide. The English language version, which occurs first, gives the correct date of the murder, 04 May 19

But the next language, Bangla, gives two dates when Altab Ali was murdered!

It mentions the correct date, 04 May 1978

But then it ADDS another, different year when it says Altab Ali was [also!] murdered!

It states that Altab Ali was murdered on the local elections day in 1977.

But in London there were no local elections in 1977 at all.

That the TWO years are mentioned as being Altab Ali’s years of death is bad enough.

that it was allowed to be plastered on the “memorial” committed under the “control of Tower Hamlets Council” is outrage and ignorance beyond condemnation.

Facing jail: Fugitive tycoon Asil Nadir, pictured today, was found guilty by a jury of stealing money from his Polly Peck business empire

Former fugitive tycoon Asil Nadir has been found guilty of three counts of theft totalling £5.5million after being accused of plundering his Polly Peck business empire to fund his lavish lifestyle.

An Old Bailey jury cleared Nadir of one other count but is still considering a further nine charges after being given a majority direction.

Mr Justice Holroyde told the three women and seven men that they could return verdicts of nine to one.

The jurors had spent their seventh day considering charges alleging theft of £34million from Nadir's Polly Peck business empire between 1987 and 1990.

Polly Peck International was a conglomerate dealing in fruit, leisure, textiles and electronics. 

Most of its business was based in Turkey and northern Cyprus.

The flamboyant millionaire, 71, of Mayfair, central London, had denied all 13 charges.

He insisted any money taken out of the company was repaid with cash deposits in Turkish Lira made by other family members.

The theft and other remaining charges happened at the company between 1987 and 1990 but Nadir left Britain in 1993 and could only be tried at court after he returned in 2010. 

His trial has lasted seven months during which two jurors were discharged for health reasons.

His wife Nur, 28, sat at the side of the dock as the jury was brought into court 8 at the Old Bailey to be given a majority direction. 

But they first they were asked if they had reached verdicts on each count - and revealed they had come to a decision of three of the charges.

He was found not guilty on one count but the jury still has a further nine charges to consider.

The judge has now said he will accept majority verdicts as long as at least nine jurors are agreed.

HOW NADIR PLUNDERED THE CASH

The first count Nadir was found guilty of relates to the theft of £1.3m from PPI's NatWest account on June 15, 1989.

The cash was moved to the NatWest account of Jersey-based PPI subsidiary Unipac, before being passed through the Nadir-owned Industrial Bank of Kibris, based in Northern Cyprus. It was ultimately used to deal in PPI shares.

The second count of which Nadir was convicted relates to the theft of £1m, also taken from PPI's NatWest account and again channeled through Unipac.

It was used to pay for a pair of antique fireplaces, originally bought from Christie's for the PPI offices in Berkeley Square but Nadir was forced to admit they had been bought for his personal use.

The third count Nadir was convicted of relates to the theft of £3.25m from PPI's Midland Bank account on March 19, 1990. The money was channeled through Unipac and the Swiss Volksbank before being sent to the account Nadir's mother Safiye held at Citibank in Geneva.

Nadir was cleared of a count alleging he had stolen £2.5m from the PPI NatWest account on December 13, 1989.

That money was said to have been used for share dealing, to support Nadir's charter airline, Noble Air, and to settle part of his tax bill.

The remaining nine charges the jury are still deliberating on relate to theft from Polly Peck International PLC totalling nearly £30million - £26,642,500 - between 1987 and 1990.

Nadir looked shocked as the verdicts were announced. 

His wife Nur, who at 28 is 43 years his junior, fled the court after her husband was found guilty of the three counts of theft.

She was whisked away in a silver chauffeur-driven Jaguar despite a jury still deliberating on the further fraud charges against her husband.

As she left the court, dressed in an expensive looking black and cream dress, she covered her eyes with a pair of large dark sunglasses.

The prosecution claims Nadir took a total of £150million from Polly Peck but put forward specimen counts relating to specific incidents.

Nadir, who said he returned from his native northern Cyprus to clear his name, claims he was unjustly treated by the Serious Fraud Office.

Polly Peck was one of the success stories of the Thatcher era and one of the best performing companies on the Stock Exchange.

But it collapsed in 1990 with debts of £550million.

Investigators were said to have found a 'black hole' after going to northern Cyprus where the money had been transferred, the court heard.

Philip Shears QC, prosecuting, said Nadir was able to use just his signature to transfer millions of pounds abroad through a complex series of companies and banks.

He was found guilty of stealing £1.3million to secretly buy Polly Peck shares to bolster its Stock Exchange price.

The other guilty counts related to £1million spent on antiques and £3.25million which went on to 19 different destinations.

The prosecution told the court the stolen money went on making Nadir and his friends and associates rich.

He was cleared of one count involving £2.5million to pay his income tax bill. The jury is now deliberating on a further nine charges of theft against him. 

Mr Nadir denies all charges.

Totally bonkers toxic talking head John Torode’s tedious tirade against Assange.

Totally bonkers toxic talking head John Torode’s tedious tirade against Assange.

How very wrong is the Keith Josephite Right [miscalled “Thatcherite”] becomes so very obvious, so alarmingly clear whenever the residual “journalist” and congenital hate-monger John Torode is given a spot by the BBC.
As it was on Sunday 19 August 2012 at the BBC News Channel. Torode was terse, typically toxic and offensive in his tirade against Julian Assange.
As is often the case, the totally bonkers Torode got the key facts about the Swedish “judicial system” very wrong.
He inaccurately lavished it with praise and unjustifiably likened it with his fantasy “free-est” or “most lilberal” society.
Sweden is  no such place.
As he did in his equally corrupt summary of what was actually going on at the Obama White House or indeed anywhere else in the USA “Security apparatuses|” whose invincibility Assange has done so much to expose to ridicule.

Within literally minutes of Torode’s ending his stupid Tirade, the same BBC presenter  who had “hosted” Torode cued in a commentator from the USA capital Washington [DC ] who comprehensively questioned everything that Torode had said, suggested or implied.

Suicide rates rocket in wake of economic downturn recession

Suicide rates have rocketed since the economic downturn, with the biggest rise in areas suffering most unemployment, new research reveals.

Around 13,000 people committed suicide in England between 2008 and 2010 – 1,000 more than expected – after a 20-year low in 2007. Men accounted for 85 per cent of these extra deaths – two fifths of which were directly associated to job losses, according to the research published in the British Medical Journal.

Before the recession, which began in 2008, suicides rates in England had fallen every year since 2000, with an average of 83 fewer deaths annually. Although suicides began to decline again in 2010, coinciding with a slight fall in unemployment, the numbers are still higher than 2007.

The research analysed suicide data and unemployment figures from 93 counties and local authorities across England. In general, the areas which have had the biggest increase in new unemployed, especially men, have had the most extra suicides.

For example, the number of people claiming jobseekers allowance in north and north-east Somerset and south Gloucestershire doubled over the three years and suicides increased by 50 per cent. Unemployment increased by 24 per cent in Outer London, and suicides by 9 per cent.

The figures should not come as a great surprise to the Government – the link between suicides and economic recessions is well known. There is also strong evidence to suggest the risks are mitigated and people protected in countries which have good employment programmes and social support, such as Sweden.

Debt, a drop in income, and housing problems associated with the recession are also likely to increase the risk of suicide, according to Ben Barr, of the University of Liverpool.

Beth Murphy, head of information for the mental health charity Mind, said the problems were being exacerbated because mental health services were still seen as a soft option for cuts.

"People with mental health problems are being squeezed on all sides, as they face cuts to benefits and services as well as a very challenging job market. This situation can be very distressing, potentially making mental health problems worse and, in some cases, triggering suicidal thoughts," she said.

"While we understand the Government has had to make difficult financial decisions because of the recession, this research serves to reinforce our concerns that cuts to local services are leaving people more vulnerable than ever. This is particularly true for areas where unemployment is high and mental health support service numbers are low."

The share of households in Britain whose income is not enough to pay their bills has risen from 14 per cent a year ago to 16 per cent, Legal and General's Money Mood survey has found.

This statement below has been retrieved from the web site of the London EVENING STANDARD in the past 10 minutes or so.

The reason why we are reproducing it here is not anything to do with the particular communications between Isabella Freeman and the London Evening Standard.

We are going to refer to some parts of the statements which raise questions about the legitimacy of the conduct, decisions, actions and claims made by the CURRENT bureaucracy in control of the Tower Hamlets Council.

Isabella Freeman has been described as the "monitoring officer” many times in the past. But how many people in Tower Hamlets know what it that she does in that is stated capacity and role in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

We are preparing a NEW series of Questions about Tower Hamlets Council and we shall post the questions on this blog as well as on other associated AADHIKARonline and Khoodeelaar! Campaign blogs, web sites and social network sites.

On 2 May we reported allegations that Isabella Freeman, the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal Services) and Monitoring Officer of Tower Hamlets, had shown a lack of care about alleged voter fraud in Tower Hamlets and, on the contrary, was involved in a deliberate cover-up.

We accept that those allegations were untrue and any suggestion that Isabella Freeman had not overseen the correct procedures was wrong. She has, in fact, taken steps so that the council has the most robust systems and processes permitted within electoral law to ensure the integrity of the electoral register and identify any malpractice.  Tower Hamlets electronically scans 100 per cent of postal votes and rejects any that have non-matching signatures. The article also incorrectly stated that Ms Freeman had blamed Muslim voters for the claims by others of voter fraud in Tower Hamlets. We apologise to Ms Freeman.
