Carole Swords has campaigned with the Defend Council Housing in Tower Hamlets. At the height of that campaign in the first half ofd this decade, Carole Swords also came into contact with KHOODEELAAR! the Campaign against the Big Biz agenda Crossrail hole attacks on the Brick Lane London E1 area.
So effective had these two campaigns been, as seen by then Bethnal Green and Bow MP George Galloway [10 April 2006] that Galloway launched the then RESPECT Party election debut for May 2006 by making special mentions of the two.
George Galloway stressed that he backed BOTH the KHOODEELAAR! campaign and the Defend Council Housing campaign.
And Carole Swords found herself as being active as a familiar supporter for both the KHOODEELAAR! and the DEFEND COUNCIL HOUSING campaigns.
It is remarkable therefore that just over six years since that event, Carole Swords has seen enough evidence to conclude that it was time to speak out about the disastrous failures on housing by Tower Hamlets Council.
The very thought that Tower Hamlets Council would fail on housing would be unthinkable to all genuine activists of the Defend Council housing campaign.
Yet that is what has been going on.
So what is the reason for the Council being found so lamentably wanting on housing when the attack on the deprived and the disenfranchised is growing under the combined corrupting and the corrosive weight of the CONMEN controlling CONDEM?
How can it be that a traditionally vocal community well versed in the rhetoric of campaign for civil universal and social rights, is silent across the "mainstream" Parties including what Carole Swords still prefers to call "the New Labour" Party?
Where, exactly, are the voices of the "elected" councillors, "Assembly" member [for it is a lone, politically very narrow, single Biggs indeed!] and the "MPs"?
Why hasn't there been the gigantic outcry against social cleansing in Tower Hamlets that Carole Swords has gone so far as to call "SOCIAL AND ETHNIC CLEANSING" programme??
