The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical commentary: Part TWO of the evidential diagnostic update on HOW Tower Hamlets Council CREATES POVERTY in the East End Borough

CLICK on this IMAGE to see twitter UPDATES by KHOODEELAAR! on the Manifesto for Tower Hamlets where the local Council has been all but abolished by the imposition of an antidemocratic "executive mayor” “non- system” [More on this word, ‘non-system’, our word, in later parts]

This IMAGE is based on the Internet "news" item that the Roman Catholic outlet “THE CATHOLIC HERALD” had published after Iain Duncan Smith, then still “Leader” of the Neo Conservative Party, "posed”, in the 1990s, as a champion of morality and pledged that he would make the Conservative Party reflect the Roman Catholic church’s values 

Below are the texts of the "news" report in the CATHOLIC HERALD, also promoting TELCO, a strange outfit that made its appearance in Tower Hamlets a few years later and "successfully" demolished the local Tower Hamlets Council by intervening FOR THE INSTALLATION of an antidemocratic structure on the Coun cil.

AADHIKAROnline shall examine the role of this STRANGE, STRANGE outfit “TELCO” in destroying Society in the East End and ask questions about whether “TELCO” in the most bizarre role it has played in the manufacture of a “Platform” that has DISPLACED and in effect destroyed the majority of the ordinary community and its campaigning activities in the East End, truly - or “at all” - reflects the agenda of the Catholic Church in England.

We ASK: Whose IDEA was it to launch the anti-social COUP in the East End that has at once managed to displace the DEMOCRATIC ORGANISATION of the ELECTED LOCAL Council and worse, the independently active organisations in the ordinary po;population the the context of the Borough of Tower Hamlets??????

Tory policy 'to reflect Church social teaching'

BY SIMON CALDWELL

THE LEADER Of the Conservatives has promised to make his Party's policies reflect the social teachings of the Catholic Church.

lain Duncan Smith, a Catholic, also described the Pope as "one of the greatest moral leaders of the modem age" during the launch of the Redbridge branch of Telco, a largely faith-based organisation that works to improve the quality of life for people within their own communities.

Mr Duncan Smith. the MP for Chingford and Woodford Green, applauded the work of Cafod, the overseas development agency of the Catholic bishops of England and Wales, and said that the Tories were preparing to "unveil aid and trade policies that will expand Britain's capacity to help the poorest people of the world lift themselves out of poverty".

He said he would find policies that would "support marriage", support Church schools, and help to build a "culture of life".

But while he voiced his personal opposition to abortion, he said that it would remain an issue of conscience in the Conservative Party. Mr Duncan Smith has always upheld the Tory policy opposing euthanasia.

He said that, if elected, the Tories would also protect faiths based voluntary and caring organisations from excessive red tape, political cor erectness and restrictions on appointments of staff.

Mr Duncan Smith began his talk, called "Building the Common Good in Redbridge", by praising the Catholic tradition of social teaching that began with Rerum Novarum, an 1891 encyclical of Pope Leo XIII.

He thanked the Catholic bishops of England and Wales fur the documents on the subject that they had released ahead of the 1997 and 2001 General Elections. He then said that the five greatest challenges facing the British people were rising crime, failing schools, substandard healthcare, child poverty and insecurity in old age — social problems which he said had worsened because "too much power has been grabbed by the state from people-sized institutions like the family".

"Introduced in the 1930s when Fascism was a growing menace, the Catholic idea of subsidiarity says that power should be as close to the peo ple as possible," he said.

"Subsidiarity reminds government not to rob institutions like families of the functions and resources necessary for them to flourish. A greedy know-all state elbows aside the self-help and charitable groups that lie behind it and individual people. It second-guesses a headteacher's leadership of a school. It ties up charities in red tape. It overtaxes families and denies them any choice about which school their children can attend."

He added: "The Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Corrnac Murphy-O'Connor, rightly said that `marriage is at the heart of a stable society', and it is still the aspiration of the vast majority of young people.

"Government should support the aspiration to marry — because healthy marriages are good for children and good for society as a whole. This is not about preaching to people about how they should live their lives, but about what works.

"Government does, after all, support socially constructive ambitions like the ambition to learn, to save or to start a business. Conservatives are carefully studying the ways in which European tax and benefit support marriage, "We also want to learn how the American and Australian governments are using community and faith-based groups, to help people prepare for and sustain their relationships."

Mr Duncan Smith said the Tories would reduce poverty and crime by creating 20,000 extra rehabilitation places for drug addicts and recruiting 40,000 police officers to patrol Britain's streets, The meeting was held at Trinity Catholic High School, Woodford Green, Essex, and drew an audience of hundreds from with the Borough of Redbridge.

It was hosted by Dr Paul Doherty, the headteacher, and chaired by Bishop Thomas McMahon of Brentwood.

The bishop said afterwards that Mr Duncan Smith's speech was remarkable in that he put himself "firmly behind Catholic social and moral teaching" even though he was addressing an audience drawn from a wide range of backgrounds.

Bishop McMahon said: "He was explicitly backing Catholic moral and social teaching and quoting liberally from the Pope and previous popes and the bishops' documents on the common good. sI was extremely impressed with his speech ... he was very clear about his own Catholic faith and where he stood."

Dr Doherty described Mr Duncan Smith's speech as "charismatic" and said it addressed issues close to the audience. He said it was clear that the Tory leader was very concerned about the plight of Britain's "underclass", and by areas plagued by crime and by drug abuse.

Francis Keay and Carlene Gbeho, the head boy and head girl of Trinity, spoke during the meeting about their own commitments to the social teachings of the Church
