The © Muhammad Haque Daily World Exclusive Ethical Commentary on the Housing crisis that is rampant across and in the UK with the professional gangsters and criminals capturing control of the locally “elected” Councils’ housing mis-operations and those of the so-called registered social landlords who were given a golden opportunity to comprehensively rob, loot and plunder the Council housing stock, “thanks” to the stupidities of John Prescott as the then “Secretary of State” and the criminal agenda-pushers for Big Business that operated within the Bliaring UK regime – UPDATE [1]

Whoever had thought that the idea of social housing – as represented “in” “Council housing” – was ever compatible with or was ever safe in the hands of Council cliques controlling the provision got that totally wrong.
Corrupt Council employees involved in housing decision-making, budgeting and “strategic plans” devised internally and then rubber-stamped by mostly docile and or collusive councillors across the UK have proven to be corrupt, criminal and contemptuous of the core service that housing SHOULD be but isn’t.
This has been allowed to be so by the rampant antidemocratic and non-democratic behaviour of “elected” Councils and “elected Councillors” across the UK.
There have been many adverse and serious consequences.
Having studied housing over decades, I can say that there is a very fundamental link between the UK local Councils’ decreasing link with democratic remit and the simultaneous collusion by the time serving self-serving “political groupings with the naked, greedy elements that have been making personal gains and profits while they have been undermining the social and the objectively defined economic benefits for people and communities that social hosing brings.
Housing has been used as an anti-hosing profiteering field where criminal gangsters – ‘property developers’ – have been allowed to move in by the collusion successive “planning” stooges in the Councils.
Those stooges have been allowed to serve the criminal assaults by the property gangsters because the Councils’ ‘planning’ has been exposed as nothing but a rubber stamping tool that is now routinely being used to destroy what remains of social housing and social housing spaces.
Neither the Neo Cons nor the Lib Dumbs nor the Bliar-ed Bureaucracy in what used to be the Labour Party can be expected to oppose the trend.
Despite the totally ridiculous and infantile noises being made from time to time by the
very securely paid and pension-protected ‘trade union’ ‘leaders’ – who operate their own brands of self-serving agendas – and despite the very pathetic half-awareness spiels and spits that some of the residual “left” “Labour” MPs mouth and pen by suggesting that they are all for “action against the Class Enemy”, there is no sign anywhere across the vast terrains now subject to property gangsters’ robbery programmes that housing will be available to Society on a Social basis…
Just as Frank Field, wearing a “Labour” badge but operating a Neo Cons pro-racist agenda on “welfare” did to undermine the universal concepts of rights and as Liam Byrne has done in the past three years to give legitimacy to the illegitimate agenda and activities of the Neo Cons and their Lob Dumbs and ‘Labour’-labelled colluders across the board on ‘welfare’.
In Tower Hamlets in London’s ‘East End’, universally admitted as having a population that is one of the most deprived in all of England (and the UK), housing provision has been the target of property gangsters posing as controlling members on a number of key ‘registered social landlord’ outfits. Internally, Tower Hamlets Council has allowed a gang of its own posing as “housing” “service” staff, to operate to sabotage housing rights and to decrease the housing provisions on a social scale and basis.
The absence of democratic audit is so rampant and its adverse impact on housing and on Society locally so extensive and pervasive that it warrants full and detailed treatment. I shall UPDATE that perpetration in the later parts of this Commentary, to be posted in the course of the next 24 hours (I am writing this at 1505 Hrs GMT Saturday 19 October 2013).
AS a contextual introduction to the rampant housing crisis creation and operation by Tower Hamlets Council;s very own in-house gang of ‘housing decision-makers’:
The BBC’s Kirt Birling fronted a short piece for BBC London TV this past week about
the housing crisis in London that included a relatively big chunk of references to Tower Hamlets Borough and the Tower Hamlets Council’s ‘role’ in housing.
In that very ignorant piece fronted by Kirt Birling failed to address the matter of stock, the matter of dereliction and the matter of deliberate criminality that the Tower Hamlets Council Housing “bureaucracy” has been involved in perpetrating for a very long time.
IT IS AGAINST such a background that I now link to a piece, taken from the DAILY MAIL’s London web site, featuring the stand taken by a lone tenant on a Council housing building in the Scottish Council of Renfrewshire.
There are quite a few online comments posted on that piece that in fact echo the experiences of so many hundreds of thousands of people across the UK: that the local Council housing “operations” (the ceased to be “housing services” a long while ago) are marred by corruption and that local Councils are abysmally failing to deliver basic accountability let alone fully fledged democratic service to the local communities.
It is most clear that neither local Councillors, nor local MPs nor anyone else who claims to have been elected by the local peoples’ votes on the promise to deliver any democratic service to the local population, is anywhere to be found actually defending the rights of the embattled tenants and those of the thinking, principled, ethically active morally assertive citizens like the one featured in this particular news item by the DAILY MAIL web site below.
No wonder the person has to take the stand that this one has taken, thus exposing the sham democracy that his local Renfrewshire Council is!
