As some of the Indymedia UK visitors may recall, there was a supposed mass mobilisation against the supposedly racist EDL on Saturday 7 September 2013 in Tower Hamlets. The licensed anti-fascist cabal UAF was even allowed to serve as the MC at the celebratory platform they foisted at the Altab Ali Park.

And on Wednesday 18 September 2013, Eleven days later, the Tower Hamlets Council’s “full” Meeting (as different from the “Cabinet” and “committee” meetings) heard a lot of bragging about that Council and its “allies” including the UAF having foiled the EDL “march” on 7 September 2013

If that is the case then all unsuspecting anti-racists would be entitled to expect that Tower Hamlets Council would wait a bit longer before celebrating yet another victory!

One that surely must be very questionable, unjustified and false.

Also very dangerous for the oft-flaunted “community cohesion in Tower Hamlets”

That wishful and contrived victory is being celebrated via the web site of the East London Advertiser and the Guardian Media operations this evening.

The pretext is the publication of a thing they are describing as the Report of their “Fairness Commission.”

And in it, there is not one lone, isolated, single mention of racism in Tower Hamlets!

That is very interesting indeed.

Logically, it in effect agrees with the EDL’s “discourse”, that there is, really, “no racism in Tower Hamlets”.

Something else is the problem, the EDL’s line contends as is by now very widely known.

So Tower Hamlets Council is giving credibility to the EDL’s own de facto claims!

Here we are putting the picture very mildly.
