Is a most deprived Tower Hamlets COUNCIL, right to carry out Tory attacks?

Tower Hamlets is notorious deprived, crisis-ridden, wrong-headed local Borough Council. Right now, its head of legal is involved in a most secretive employment tribunal tussle being very strangely held only yards from the main Council Town Hall. The Central Govt has repeatedly condemned the Council Administration for wasting public money on running a propaganda organ called East End Life, aka 'Tower Hamlets Town Hall's very own pravda'.

Now its 'deputy mayor' has threatened libel ‘action’ against a Fleet Street by-liner who also publishes a regular blog, referring to Tower Hamlets Council's excesses, abuses...

Isn’t it very telling that Tower Hamlets, which every student of social condition knows is ‘home’ to one of England's largest numbers of deprived households and individuals, is going ahead with spending £millions on its propaganda pravda?

And yet as campaigners are finding out, Tower Hamlets is IN EFFECT refusing to help individuals and households going through serious hardship as a result of central govt cuts and due to cuts by the Council which has been misallocating the money that it has available at its disposal.

And the traditional “left” has gone all quiet on the scandal that is Tower Hamlets Council Administration!
