KHOODEELAAR! had warned against one of the 'local papers' in effect circulating in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets.

The 'in effect circulation in Tower Hamlets' was in itself a sham affair. As AADHIKAROnline pointed out on dozens of occasions in analyses published on our own web sites and on externally controlled web sites, the Newham Recorder was conducting the sham business via a duplicitous sub-title called 'Tower Hamlets Recorder'. It had also been called 'Docklands Recorder'. And a variety of other interim things in between.

On 6 August 2008, the London 'newspaper' the Guardian and the trade sources [Hold the Front Page 11 August 2008] reported [see below and on our side column, for texts and links to external web sites] that the 'Tower Hamlets Recorder' had been shut down. Because of poor circulation. The circulation cited in the releases was a huge figure!!!!!!

It was a total of 350 copies!

Here is the substantive paragraph from 'Hold the Front Page' dated 11 August 2008:

'East London weekly the Tower Hamlets Recorder, an edition of the Newham Recorder which sold 350 copies in its own right, has been merged with the main paper.

'

The way that the 'Tower Hamlets Recorder' carried on lying for CRASSrail hole plot, would not have allowed for the assumption of such a pathetic number of copies! It would suggest at least a few thousand. Like the CURRENT circulation of the [de facto stable-mate of the now-folded 'Tower Hamlets Recorder'] the 'East London Advertiser'.

The East London IDIOTISER is placed by the trade sources as being definitely in the category of titles with circulation [how the ABC - 'the Audit Bureau of Circulation' of newspaper titles] does its business is another interesting subject to which we shall return in due course] under 20,000 copies. But informed observers assert that the actual number of copies is far lower than that.

BOTH the 'Newham Recorder' and the 'East London Idiotiser' are owned by Archant, the outfit that has admitted to losing print titles circulation.. It has been concentrating on other forms and media business. [More on that in due course]

Back to the lies that the NEWHAM RECORDER confected and perpetrated via the 'Docklands Recorder' and the 'Tower Hamlets Recorder' titles in the years of the operation.

The agenda set by the NEWHAM RECORDER is identifiable in the typically ignorant, irrelevant, pastiche and the idiotic output and orientation of Tom Duncan.

Duncan is notoriously ignorant and ill informed and has no record of writing with understanding about East London.

Duncan's 'editorial' stamp on the Newham Recorder 'series' as it was called before the change of ownership, was visible in the contents of the titles that failed to report for the communities as they were.....

The TOWER HAMLETS RECORDER was typical. It carried the NEWHAM RECORDER on the inside 'news pages' while on the front it pretended to be about 'Tower Hamlets'.

That was a weekly insult to all self-respecting people in Tower Hamlets.


We have not noticed anyone publicly pointing out that fabrication.
KHOODEELAAR! Campaign has pointed out and examined the periodic evidence of that.

The insult was aggravated when the same lying title perpetrated and then perpetuated the CrossRail hole plot-peddling lies in a so-called 'specialist' feature carried somewhere on an inside page [around page 13 or 14 or 29, well beyond any 'news' if there was any of any pretence] with the by-line of an alleged specialist transport writer.

They kept on publishing utter rubbish...

The ‘TOWER HAMLETS RECORDER” rubbish was visible even before the actual detailed perpetration was approached......

They published almost all the slogans for CRASSrail that Ken Lyingstill Livingstone ever mouthed. and like Livingstone’s hollow, sham assertions, the 'TOWER HAMLETS RECORDER' too was hollow, a sham affair.

It let the people down. It denied the people the truth. The basic facts. And it did so despite being told by KHOODEELAAR! the relevant facts.

Including the fact that the costs of the CRASSrail hole scam were being dishonestly manipulated by the peddlers... That the costs were being misleadingly cited and quoted at various stages of the promotion of the CRASS CROSSRAIL [=CRASS] scam...

Had the lying 'editorial decision-makers [!!!!!!] the sense, not to speak of respect for the published codes of conduct of journalism [what they!!!?????] 'readers' [all 350 of them] of the 'Tower Hamlets RECORDER" would have come across the basic facts years ago...

And then there was the February 2006 stunt staged by the Crossrail hole plot-inviting corrupt clique on Tower Hopeless Council.

Put under serious campaigning pressure by KHOODEELAAR! [which campaign was being broadcast on at least one satellite TV channel for a good THREE MONTHS - more on that in due course again], the CORRUPT clique on Tower Hamlets CrossRail hole -inviting Council was desperate for a diversion.....

And one was arranged via their then ethnicity-linked bribery and grants-making agenda and scam.... ………..to be staged AWAY from Tower Hamlets and with an appearance that the community in Tower Hamlets was 'happy with the Council' but not 'so happy with parliament' over CRASSrail...


So they staged a stunt.


KHOODEELAAR! boycotted that diversion. For reasons that we explained at length at the time.

The main reason being a contextual; one. That was the role of Tower Hamlets Council on the procedures and on the constitution at that precise moment was the key problem. The role of 'parliament' was not. as the events have proven. and as the evidence was bound to show.

but the diversion was staged for the benefit of the corrupt clique on the CrossRail hole-inviting council.

And what did the 'TOWER HAMLES RECORDER' do?

They lied on the record and to their ‘readers’ in addition to backing the lies as confected by the Crossrail hole plot-inviting Tower Hamlets Council clique itself.

Tower Hamlets RECORDER said that HUNDREDS of people took part in that Council-sponsored stunt and diversion!

NOT EVEN a 100 people were involved!

KHOODEELAAR! pointed out the facts. But the 'Tower Hamlets RECORDER' carried on lying...

They ignored the facts.
They suppressed the truth.
They aggravated the lies.

The event that had hundreds of people presents... the Khoodeelaar! no to 'the CrossRail hole plot-inviting role of the controlling clique on the Tower Hamlets Council....' campaign MASS GATHERING and held in the Hanbury Street, off Brick Lane, London E1 on Sunday 22 January 2006, was manifestly ignored by the lying 'Tower Hamlets Recorder'!

[The following AADHIKAROnline piece was originally written and published in the evening of Tuesday 26 August 2008]


The 'Newham Recorder' lying for Big Business and the Blairing pack of post holders on the local and the regional 'councils’ Now the RECORDER shamelessly confesses that KHOODEELAAR! has been correct all along.

But the RECORDER has not got the morality to admit that KHOODEELAAR! diagnoses made in July 2004 were as accurate as any that others have done in the 4 years that have followed...

KHOODEELAAR! says to the Newham RECORDER: STOP LYING in the name of the East End of London and start telling the truth about CRASSrail hole plot....

[To be continued]


We QUOTE THE NEWHAM Recorder’s confession that CRASSrail is a con, in effect.. that CRASSrail costs are already on the overrun even before the crass looting work has officially to begin....

Surveyors warn of rising costs
26 August 2008
LARGE-SCALE projects linked to the 2012 Olympic Games in Stratford could be delayed or even cancelled because of rising costs, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

A report by the body says raw materials and labour costs have risen by 12.2 per cent over the past 12 months, and are forecast to rise by the same degree over the next two years.

Projects which, at the very least, may dip further into the public purse than originally anticipated are Crossrail, the East London Line extension and the Thameslink rail upgrade.

The institution warned rises in the costs of cement, steel piling and fuel are having a dramatic impact on civil engineering construction costs, writes KAY ATWAL.

Executive director Joe Martin said: "With large projects in rail, roads, electricity, water and sewerage all scheduled over the next two years, the civil engineering sector seems well placed to ride out the current economic downturn.

"However, the industry is facing the possibility of a serious threat caused by a combination of rising costs and the economic downturn that could result in delays and, at worst, cancellation of some of these schemes."

The credit crunch has reportedly delayed the £1.5 billion Silvertown Quays development, involving 5,000 new homes and other facilities in the Royal Docks, by 12 months until 2009.
