Council legal chief Isabella Freeman begins tribunal case against Tower Hamlets

Town Hall legal director Isabella Freeman was at the centre of a courtroom drama shrouded in secrecy in the case she’s brought against her Tower Hamlets council employers.

Witness statements and other documents were kept from the public when her employment tribunal hearing opened yesterday.

 

The £115,000-a-year head of council legal services has been embroiled in a legal wrangle with the authority since councillors voted at a meeting behind closed doors last summer to take disciplinary steps against her.

 

The case has finally came to a tribunal hearing this week at Anchorage House next to the Town Hall.

 

The council’s defence QC John Bowers called for the case to be dropped.

 

Judge Jonathan Ferris responded by saying he had serous reservations about the thrust of the complaint against the authority.

 

But Ms Freeman’s barrister insisted there was a strong case against the council. So a hearing date has been set for late autumn.

 

Ms Freeman’s complaint is thought to be linked to last year’s failed process to appoint someone to the vacant post of council chief executive, which has been empty since 2010. The stalemate followed legal advice she gave the Town Hall’s human resources panel.

 

The tribunal case was referred to in Parliament as far back as January in a debate on local government when MPs criticised proceedings at Tower Hamlets and alleged bias towards Mayor Lutfur Rahman’s minority administration.

What a contrast the following item of the KHOODEELAAR! Action is to the sordid internal wastefulness and sleazy diversion that goes on so often inside so many parts of so many “service” sections in what is supposed to be the “locally democratically elected local Council” of the London borough of Tower Hamlets Council….

Bangladesh:

Police injure relatives protesting against Building collapse deaths

Report [below] from the web site of the London daily the MORNING STAR

Police attack massive rally against unsafe factories

Friday 26 April 2013

by Our Foreign Desk

Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas today at thousands of garment workers who were protesting against the death of over 300 workers in the collapse of a Dhaka factory building.

“The situation is very volatile. Hundreds of thousands of workers have joined the protests.

“We fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse them,” said an officer in the police control room.

Hundreds of thousands of workers had walked out of their factories in solidarity with their dead colleagues.

Some workers’ leaders attacked Western firms, who they accused of turning “a blind eye” while using Bangladeshis as “money-making machines.”

At one demonstration angry workers demanded the arrest and even the execution of factory bosses and building owners, smashing dozens of vehicles, but most other protests were peaceful.

As the protests grew rescue crews bored deeper into the wreckage of the Rana Plaza, hoping for miracle rescues that would prevent the death toll from rising much higher.

Some of those trapped under fallen concrete in the building were still alive, rescue workers said, but they were so badly hurt and weakened that they needed to be extricated within a few hours.

Rescue co-ordinators said that the death toll had reached 304, and that 2,200 people have been rescued.

Hundreds of rescuers, some crawling through the maze of rubble, spent a third day working amid the cries of the trapped and the wails of workers’ relatives.

Police cordoned off the building site, pushing back thousands of bystanders and relatives, after rescue workers said that the crowds were hampering their work. Clashes erupted between relatives of those still trapped and police officers, who used batons to disperse the crowds.

Police said that 50 people had been injured in the clashes.

The rescue workers said they were proceeding very cautiously inside the crumbling building, using their hands, hammers and shovels, to avoid further collapses.

A military official said that search-and-rescue operations would continue until at least Saturday.

Sunday

28 April 2013

 

Here is my selection this morning from  the web site of the British “Communist Party” “daily” the Morning Star.

 

I do not agree with most of the secretive policies, tactics and strategies of the CPGB but in comparison with the “FLEET STREET” “dailies”, the CPGB’s “Morning Star” – CURRENTLY in the UK- still carries far more items whose general direction I entirely agree with than do the “Fleet Street” baggage carriers of Big Business and the assortments of Nasty, Racist, Imperialist interests of the City of London….

 

So I publish here [below] the Morning star report about Bangladesh where Police have been attacking the people demonstrating against the collapse of the garments factory in  Savar.

My point here is that with such evidence coming out of Bangladesh, the UK’s CONDEM Collusion is embarked on demolishing, breaking up the already limited Health and safety legislative framework here!

 

It is, I say, another brazen step towards the Dark Age in Britain.

KHOODEELAAR! Campaign BACKING residents, tenants and families in the Trahorne Close in London East 1

April 27, 2013

PETITION to Executive Mayor, LBTH Council and to the LBTH Council:

By residents tenants and families in the Trahorne Close London E1

 

We the undersigned residents/tenants and members of the families living in the street

addresses listed below again reiterate our support to the representation of our collective demand that the LB Tower Hamlets Council, as the elected Local Democratic representative body responsible for the community, carry out its undertaking given to all the Council housing tenants and residents  at the time of the Housing stock transfers to THCH that the Council would continue to do its duty and to uphold the rights and meet the needs of the residents, tenants and their families. We are supporting this latest demand in light of the fact that despite years of our representation to the THCH to abide by our preference for their actions to create an environments conducive to peaceful, crime-free and decent living, they are unreasonably seeking to impose on our area a most unwanted additional problem. We have clearly asked THCH to stop the plan for an alteration to the green spaces that will then be turned into a most likely, even a veritable draw for anti-social activities thus creating additional stress, anxiety, lack of peace and quiet and most likely to all degrees of antisocial and violent disorder thus causing serious detriment to the quality of  our lives but THCH appear determined to ignore us, adamantly insisting that they must add to problems for this neighbourhood. We are asking all our local Ward Councillors, the Executive Mayor and all the LBTH Council Members to ensure that our Preferences are heeded and that THCH are not allowed to foist and impose the additional new problems on us.

Organiser, “KHOODEELAAR! NO to the Big Biz agenda scam Crossrail hole assault on the East End of London” CAMPAIGN

1955 Hrs GMT London Thursday 25 April 2013

This is Mr Yeabor Miah a resident in the “Bethnal Green South” Ward in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

He has been a KHOODEELAAR! Campaign participant since 2007 when he was one of the residents who travelled to the Tower Hamlets Town Hall “Mulberry Place” [near the very remotely located Blackwall Tunnel] and observed from the “Public Gallery” the presentation of the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign petition by Organiser Muhammad Haque before the formal sitting of the Tower Hamlets Council in September 2007.

Nearly SIX years later, Mr Yeabor Miah and his fellow residents from the same area in Bethnal Green South ward are asking the question:

Why didn’t Tower Hamlets Council listen to the Khoodeelaar! petition of September 2007?

Why are we being caused the noise, the nuisance and the disruption by Crossrail six years later?

Why is the Council standing idle while the so-called “Social landlord” THCH which is one of those to whom Tower Hamlets Council transferred the Council Housing stock Mr Miah lives in the Trahorne Close, near the Vallance Road.

Trahorne Close is on the inside of the estate reached from the Castlemain Street which is off the Street that is a side road parallel to the Whitechapel Road, much shorter but cove rug the length of the Crossrail local digging and noise-creating activities.

He is pictured here by © Muhammad Haque on Monday 22 April 2013, speaking a few yards from the Vallance Road. Here he is speaking in Seelotee and saying that the noise made by Crossrail has been unbearable for him and his family.

And that the noise has been affecting nearby streets and residents there. He says that for three years already [and another five years of Crossrail work to go yet] he and his wife have had to move away from the eastern side of their home and take shelter in Western side in order to avoid the penetrating noise.

He is saying that that noise came from the eastern side of their flat in the Trahorne Close. This picture is taken from a site where Crossrail is CURRENTLY doing the noisy work next to the Vallance Road.

Mr Yeabor Miah is critical of Tower Hamlets Council and he is even more critical of those who have been colluding with the Tower Hamlets Community Housing [THCH].

Mr Miah has been complaining for more than a year now about the behaviour of THCH which he accuses of ignoring the local residents and of imposing on the residents a plan that is unhelpful to the residents.

Something the residents have not been consulted on nor given their considered consent on as far as the THCH’s imposition is concerned.

Mr Yeabor Miah was ignored by the THCH staff concerned when he tried to raise the issue with them of what the residents want.

Osborne, Iain Duncan Smith and their “likes” Liam Byrne et al. The emptiness, the absence from the fray of Ed Miliband who is failing to stand up for Society, for Compassion, for justice….

The MIRROR news about Nick Barker, the 51 year old who suffered brain haemorrhage and whose disability benefit was cut by Iain Duncan Smith’s DWP, the UK Department for Want and Poverty-Creation 


POSH BOY shed media-paraded tears for Maggie Thatcher!

All over the “mainstream” British media!

NO EVIDENCE so far that the Bullying-done Clubber has shed a tear for Nick Barker. Or that Osborne has even an idea that people like Nick Barker who the London MIRROR Media Group is reporting as being one of the latest British persons to commit suicide because Osborn’s benefit cuts left him with no income…

 

It is of course what Neo Cons do.

 

Question is: what has Ed Miliband to say about Nick Barker and the mounting evidence across Britain of the sick, the vulnerable being subjected to the jackboot assault as fronted by the politically very cruel G Osborne, aided and abetted by Iain Duncan Smith…

 

Big Business agenda “Crossrail jobs” lies resumed via Tower Hamlets Council [4]

Big Business agenda “Crossrail jobs” lies resumed via Tower Hamlets Council [4]

ImageBig Business agenda "Crossrail jobs" lies resumed via Tower Hamlets Council [4]

 

 

The © Muhammad Haque Daily Economics and Environmental and Democratic Accountability Commentary:

 

Abysmal state of dysfunction, ignorance and the betrayal of the local Community by the Tower Hamlets Council’s controlling clique which has reverted to openly peddling the lies for Big Business via the word “Crossrail” as it had done seven years ago [1]

 

2100 Hrs GMT London Saturday 20 Aril 2013

 

October 2007 to 20 April 2013.

How many years is that?

SIX years.

Of course!

But it could easily be SIXTY years.

Sixty years?

Isn’t that stretching the imagery a bit too far?

Not at all, if the imagery is being devised about the Big Business Agenda AS fronted via “Crossrail”.

Why?

How?

Answer

 

Because it was as part of the untruths peddled via Ken Livingstone’s “Undone Mayor” [that too is a KHOODEELAAR! devised phrase to depict Ken Livingstone in the correct contest of his role whilst still in that Onion – a word that KHOODEELAAR! had coined for that building YEARS before Boris Johnson was even heard of in that context at all] hat they had released a wanton lie and untruth and had claimed that “CROSSRAIL was worth the public costs because it would being so many £Billions INTO the Economy in the NEXT SIXTY years” [or a temporal stretch and economic “period” near to 60 years!].

 

Now any rational person would see that that was stupid beyond condemnation.

How can the “GDP” be predicted for even the next ONE year, let alone for the next SIXTY years? Especially after the evidence has at last been admitted of large scale lying and fakery by the entirety of the country’s Financial “institutions” and by the “Banks” including the “financial regulators”, themselves and by the UK Department called the Treasury, and the MPs themselves……!

 

All of those “hitherto” [to the brainwashed] hallowed “Authority-Entities” have been exposed by the overwhelming weights of their own corruption, dishonesty, fraudulence and crimes!

 

So the SIXTY years ….of that we have used as an image is to illustrate the incredible emptiness in the Tower Hamlets Council Chamber, as witnessed on Wednesday 17 April 2013.

 

There was no debate.

No audit

No holding to account of anybody on behalf of the people of Tower Hamlets

Only crass, contaminated exchanges aimed by each bunch at the other, across the so-called “opposed” “benches” of “Councillors”!

 

There was no political discourse, least of all any ethics or morality on behalf of the affected, the outraged. the really actually unglamorously dispossessed people and families across the Borough who were being targeted by the CONDEM assault on Society

 

No atmosphere in the “Council Chamber” of the “London Borough of Tower Hamlets” therefore to even theoretically expect an uptodate in-depth exposition by any side on the dire, deeply worrying, unjustified, undemocratic, treacherous and cruel and uncaring and indifferent and contemptuous state of the failures by “the elected Tower Hamlets Council” to speak up, to challenge the assault by the CONDEM Collusion.

 

If, in that situation and in that environment, a bid is made for a Chunk of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets by an agency operating as a front for any of the Big Biz outfits and conglomerates that are notionally required to get the [“planning”] “approval of the local Council” then the likelihood is that the bid would succeed.

 

If it is “rejected” at first or at a later “repeat application” that event must NEVER be treated as a genuine rejection by the Council at all.

 

Such rejections constitute the TACTICAL parades, the haggling for the “bribe” to the “Council” by the DEGENERATORS, misleadingly referred to by the “mainstreams” in Britain as “developers”.

 

In the years SINCE October 2007, a very long list of DEGENERATOR plans has been approved by the Tower Hamlets Council.

 

So much so that the Council bureaucracy is now referring to Crossrail without any hesitation, qualification, let alone and reservation at all!

 

Exactly what WE SAID ten years ago, in December 2003 when the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign was conceived of in this form by myself and Kay Jordan as we walked to the Bishopsgate Bus terminal one evening when Kay was going to catch a bus home to the Kentish Town area.

 

Four years after the KHOODEELAAR! campaign had been active, in October 2007, I wrote a diagnostic pice for publication in the then “East London Advertiser”.

 

The “East London IDIOTISER” failed to honour its “then” promise and so the piece was not published.

What, however, remains valid is the accuracy of the analysis [that I had written in October 2007] that must be applied to the role being played by the Tower Hamlets Council’s controlling clique of paid post-holders today, in April 2013.

 

That role is to LET the BIG BUSINESS agenda INTO the East End and let Bg Biz take over the East End land and dispossess the people, the community out of here.

 

EXACTLY as they had ATTEMPTED to do via the front Of their agenda disguised as “Crossrail” and its “benefits”.

 

So grossly ignorant is the Tower hamlets Council’s controlling bureaucracy now that it has uttered abysmally idiotic plug words “for Crossrail” within DAYS of the huge piece of admission PUBLISHED by the UK’s LARGEST CIRCULATED “popular” daily the SUN of Crossrail’s JOBS for local people lies!!!!

 

 

[To be continued]

 

 

Against this diagnostic and evidential UPDATER, I publish BELOW the temporally edited version of my piece that the then “East London ADVERTISER” had REQUESTED but failed to publish in October 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

KHOODEELAAR! defends the community in the East End of London against the Crossrail hole attacks.

 

This defence also entails campaigning against the deliberate misrepresentation by the institutions like Tower Hamlets council that are supposed to speak for and to protect the community in the area.

I say that because during the last four years of our campaign we have repeatedly experienced such misrepresentation-and we expect it to continue.

We have found that the Council has been controlled in such a way, and by such unrepresentative elements, that it has been made into a puppet and a conduit for hugely damaging attacks on the entire East End.

It is in this context that we must examine what I believe are streams of diversionary and divisive activities that have been used by the Council’s “controlling clique”.

Take the recent ignorant exclusion of some elected councillors from having any say at all on council policy-making simply because they were not Bangladeshi: that was diabolically hostile and treacherous behaviour which ADDED to racial disharmony, not reduced it.

That act merely proves the Khoodeelaar! point that Tower Hamlets Council is being mis-led by a clique that has no understanding of its duties.

And this is exactly what we have found in relation to the role of the clique in surrendering the rights, interests and safety of the local community to the commands of ‘Big Business’ who pretend to be the ‘bringer of benefits’ to the East End.

The Council clique has said Crossrail will bring benefits to regenerate the area. In fact, we have found they will deprive the area and degenerate it even further.

They have said that they will negotiate with Crossrail promoters to minimise the impact of the disruptions that Crossrail will cause to the area.

Actually, we have found that they are-and have been-colluding with Crossrail to cause the main disruptions, dislocations and devastations to the area.

The proposed new station at Whitechapel and the knock-on effect that creates would not have happened without council complicity.

They have said that they are working with the community.

 

However, we believe they have been actively seeking to wreck the community and to disenfranchise it even further.

Now it appears that they are no longer even pretending to defend the area against attacks, which include the destruction of streets for the building of huge ventilation shafts.

In response to my question posed at the full council meeting on September 11, in which I asked why they had failed to answer 800 questions posed by us since January 2004, they made that plain.

In the last paragraph of their ‘answer’ they don’t hide the fact that they have surrendered the council to the dictates of Crossrail by saying:

 

“Ultimately, the council must respect Crossrail’s overarching duty to have regard to…the health and safety of Crossrail passengers and workers which will dictate the location of such shafts.”

 

That one paragraph gave the game away! No mention in there of the say or the right or the welfare of the local people in Tower Hamlets.

“Overarching” indeed!

This could only come from collusion relationship, not from a dignified, democratic representational relationship.

It has been almost four years since we started to say the [Tower Hamlets] Council was acting for Big Business, CrossRail and against the Community in the East End.

At long last the [Tower Hamlets] Council clique have admitted it. [That was a reference to the Clique’s “response” to the then latest formal representation by me in September 2007 of the KHOODEELAAR! Demands for the “ELECTED COUNCIL” to do its job and stop acting as a stooge to Big Business
