EAST LONDON PRESS first comments:
Exposing Gordon Brown's manifesto of duplicity and his lack of understanding of East London

London
Tuesday 30 June 2009
By staging yet another publicity stunt designed to float Gordon Brown’s sinking image, Gordon Brown’s very own brand of spin doctors, paid for in the name of the people, musty have been capitalising on the achievement of deprivation and denial over the past 100 years.
East London is synonymous with deprivation. As even the Guardian could find if it looked.
And it did find a diverse rabneg of anecdotes standing in the Bethnal green Road.
That is miles away from the location shooting spot where a visibly made-up Gordon Brown posed with suitably choreographed ‘mother and baby’ customers at the Barkantine Medical Centre on the Isle of Dogs.
And the invited press photographers were strategically guided to make the right choices intended show the PM in the best possible lights.
And they did. Very nearly.
With the noticeable exception of a baby sitting on his mother’s lap.
Not much diversity came across from the Premier Photo Shoot in ‘East London’ on Monday 29 June 2009.
So what is Gordon Brown doing by these ‘East London’ references? He is of course reaching out to the core voters! He is not. But that is the slogan. After all, this is ‘manifesto time’.
Like the memory of a party that used to be called the Labour Party, the word ‘manifesto’ is a distant memory. Gordon Brown’s real manifesto is being manufactured somewhere else.
In his own marriage. Sarah Brown is being processed to make a series of sudden and they hope positive appearances just at the right moments in order to stun the gloom-mongers who do down Brown’s prospects and create the revival of Gordon Brown’s chances…
Whatever Sarah Brown may or may not do, will not change the people in ‘East London’.
Not the majority of the people in ‘East London’.
The received and the promoted image of ‘East London life' is one of constant deception. Deception against the reality.
Dealing with constant deception by the local council.
In fact the Housing pledge that Brown made on Monday 29 June 2009 is a hollow one.
No, it is worse than hollow. In social terms, it is a criminally false one. And an irresponsible one.
Why?
Because the stock of housing is not within the social ownership or control any more. Brown has been involved with Blair in getting rid of social control. And the notionally democratic social say on the housing stock.
Even where people with deprived level of income are in semi socially controlled housing, their neighbourhood, their estate, their home turf is no longer theirs. It is leased out indefinitely to gangs of anti-socials. Neither the council nor Gordon Brown’s heavily-photographed Police [as shown during Gordon Brown’s Stepney Green appearance few weeks earlier] are providing the safety to the inhabitants. East London is being run down socially by the local Council.
And by other agencies of the Brown State. Will D Cameron care about East London? Not really.
If the behaviour of those who allegedly represent his Party on the local Council is any guide.

Poverty of the MPs is in the grotesque shamelessness... and petty greed
EAST LONDON PRESS says at 0510 Hrs on Tuesday 31 March 2009: It is not just Harry Cohen, the east London MP who used to flaunt a faker beard and spout strings of calculated socialistic confections... Having lost BOTH in order to stay on the bandwagon, Cohen seems to have also lost any sense of rationality. And dignity. How else could he be saying those things, comparing himself to Churchill in that way? There were indeed many flaws in Churchill’s life and character. But Harry Cohen is not remotely convincing as a comparable Member of Parliament...Or as a member of society... What Cohen’s banal boast tells us about him is that he belongs to a parliament of political, mental, moral pigmies with no evident shame...
