EAST LONDON PRESS brings rare news for Mr George Galloway MP for Bethnal Green and Bow

EAST LONDON PRESS brings rare news for Mr George Galloway MP for Bethnal Green and Bow.

This time it is probably also another understated exclusive news service for the public that EAST LONDON PRESS has performed.

Mr George Galloway has become particularly notorious about his appearance on the Channel 4 BB House in January 2006.

It is even possible that he shed a tear or two after his behaviour hit the headlines then.

The tears he may have shed back in January 2006, we say this hypothetically of course, may be nothing as compared with the tears of remorse that he may find himself shedding if he fails to correct his latest utterance on the BBC. His utterance we here refer to was a small one. But it carries a big weight. The weight may get heavier than Mr George Galloway has the capacity to carry. He said on the BBC programme ‘Question Time’ that he is in his constituency every single day. He used the present indefinite:


I AM in my constituency every day! Now, surely, that cannot be true. So where was Mr Galloway on Sunday 2 August 2009? Wherever else in Bethnal Green and Bow he was, it was not the Altab Ali Park… There, a man who spoke in Mr George Galloway’s name, and called himself Kevin…


This Kevin did not look like he had just flown in Air Force One. But that is what he was suggesting.

In a manner of spiel.


Kevin was appearing as an adopted Bangladeshi co-presenting a spiel worthy of any politico eagerly seeking reconnection with the source of popular applause, however contrived.


There is no suggestion that Kevin Ovenden was eager to be consigned to that status.

But he introduced himself with words so formidable that people with learning difficulty might be frightened .. He said he was the Chief of Staff to Mr George Galloway!

It was like being played a diktat from the GW Bush White House.. Or may be even the B Obama one. There had never been such an announcement at the Altab Ali Park before… May be Mr Ovenden is ahead of the dilapidated EAST LONDON PRESS analysts.


May be Mr Ovenden knew, knows a thing or two about the real relationship that has come to being between the apparently Muslim community based leadership and the British security services and the Metropolitan Police.

May be Mr Ovenden himself has now been allocated a place at the Tower Hamlets version of COBRA…

For there were no identifiable or uniformed Police from the Metropolitan Police at the rally. But there were visibly Muslim-dressed young adults busily approaching ‘suspicious’ individuals and introducing themselves as ‘security’.

All the ‘suspicious’ ‘looking’ individuals at the Altab Ali Park were of course Bangladeshis known for their records of leading campaigns in defence of the community.

The ‘security’ personnel were deployed with the evident purpose of keeping the campaigning Bangladeshis ‘securely’ away from the lines of ‘leaders’ sitting on the ground and waiting to be called to deliver their allocated pieces.

The event was apparently to do with a dam soon to be built at TIPAIMUKH in Manipur state in north-eastern India, on a spot not far impact-wise from the Indian border with Bangladesh in Sylhet.

Sylhet is home to the overwhelming majority of Bangladeshis in the UK. And this being the case in Tower Hamlets, Mr Ovenden’s introduction to himself as the Chief of Staff may have gone down as a badly needed reassurance that a reformed East India Company had at last recognised its true role and dispatched an advance party of defenders led by Mr Ovenden against the Indian Dam onslaught! For such is the state of brainwashing in all languages in the world today that whenever a Chief of Staff is announced, the Field Marshall may scarcely be far behind…
