EAST LONDON PRESS continuing the investigation into the ‘baroness of Bethnal Green, Wapping and Maidstone’ news and the supporting role to her career as played by the ‘East London Advertiser’ to date


East London Press reporting on the odd absence of any news on the East London Advertiser 'web site' about the 'Baroness of Bethnal Green’.

The ‘East London Advertiser’ was not this coy in the past. However!

Just under 10 years ago, as the then embattled Keith Vaz was struggling against allegations concerning misleading claims he had made and allegations of abuse of his positions as a Minister and as an MP, the ‘East London Advertiser’ treated Keith Vaz with manifest sympathy!

Very very odd.

Vaz is not an MP from Tower Hamlets. Not even from London. But the ‘East London Advertiser’ found it possible to treat him as if he were one!

How was that done?

By the ‘East London Advertiser’ imposing its own designation of the ‘Asian community’ in Tower Hamlets that the facts did not support.

The ‘Asian community’ never supported ANY of the Keith Vaz sleaze. Nor would it if a vote were taken.

But the ‘East London Advertiser’ made that claim regardless.

And in effect the ‘East London Advertiser’ put on its record a lie that collectively defamed the entire community by associating the community with the sleazy behaviour as being then alleged against Keith Vaz.

And who was involved in that ‘campaign for the ‘protection of the honour’ of the sleaze row MP from Leicester?

Why Baroness Pola Uddin of ‘Bethnal Green’, Wapping and Maidstone, of course. Neitehr Wapping nor Maidstone had yet caught the imagination of the INSIGHT Team down the road off the Wapping Highway at the Sunday Times.

And the odd, temporary ‘colleague’ picked up from the then active ranks of the ‘Asian community’ ‘councillors’ installed on the Blair-leaning Tower Hamlets Council joined ‘the Baroness’ in her ‘Asian duty’ to inform the ‘local media’ that the Leicester East MP Keith Vaz was not a sleazy person at all.

And that all the allegations that were being made against Keith Vaz had been got up by racist elements .

The ‘East London Advertiser’ did Pola Uddin’s bidding. A little while later, here was nothing in the ‘East London Advertiser’ when Keith Vaz in fact himself resigned as a Blair Minister carrying the Euro baggages and the very full bags of unresolved allegations..

Th question is: Is there any point in the ‘East London Advertiser’ being kept in ‘circulation’ by Archant?

By all ACCOUNTS the ‘East London Advertiser’ is experiencing consistently diminishing circulation.

In all senses of that term.

But who would have thought that they would also curtail the circulation of the residues of the truth that survived in the issues they allegedly covered?
