This is an image of the back of a No 25 Bus aboard which an Asian male passenger was hit with a walking stick by an "old aged pensioner” [!], a white female for no reason whatever.

The Bus involved is or supposedly is regulated by Transport for London [TfL], headed by Boris Johnson, one of the first to benefit from the massive TV publicity of the 2012 Games Hosting 

Boris Johnson has no remedy in place against racist attacks on either the buses or on other TfL transport vehicles. 

Clearly the boasts about the “legacy” of the 2012 Games do not cover or include or extend to let alone ending racist intolerance on the TfL system of so-called public transport in London.

[To be continued] 

This [below] COMMENT has been published on the GUARDIAN newspaper web site in the past hour. 

The comment concerns the multi Billion waste of hosting the 2012 Games and the fact that the East End has NOT benefited from it.

THE COMMENT by RIGHTSADVOCATE is REJECTING the Guardian's claim that the Games hosting Billions spent was worth every penny 

[Guardian headline to the piece on their website reads

“Britain's end-of-year Olympic verdict: it was worth every penny”] 

THE COMMENT SAYS

It most certainly was NOT in Newham, not for ordinary people. Nor in Tower Hamlets, not for ordinary people. 

Not in Hackney, ditto. 

Not farther East nor in the North East in Waltham Forest. 

Nor across the river in Greenwich. 

Nor in Southwark. 


Barely a 1000 people, in their teens, surveyed! 


Where do they live? 


What are their own family, personal income status, brackets, positions? 


What are they doing by ay fop institutional Education or employment?
And a thousand other equally relevant, down to earth questions need to be answered. 


Why on earth would the GUARDIAN be peddling this totally ridiculous, untenable, fabricated “good news” line about the Games that only benefited wasteful Big Biz operations and their tools. 


There is no sustainable legacy. 


There could not have been. 


The whole thing was hyped up to allow Big Con Merchant “corporates” to loot, rob and steal from the public. 


From the word go. 


When Ken Livingstone boasted to David Dimbleby on the BBC Panorama “Mayoral Election” Special [April 2008] that he, Livingstone, had lied to get the Hosting site located in the East End of London, he justified that lying by claiming [in effect] that the patch of Newham borough [Stratford] where the 2012 Hosting stadium [now] is, would be regenerated in a way that could not be achieved by following conventional British political decision-making. 


You should now ask him and the ordinary people of Newham and of Tower Hamlets and of Hackney if they accept the claim and how their economic and social and environmental lives have benefitted in any tangibles, sustainable way from the irresponsibly and wasteful misadventure. 


If you do this and only when you have done this thoroughly and transparently impartially can you claim any legitimacy to run a headline and a story along the lines that you are running with this phoney poll.
