0820 [0812] [0700] Hrs GMT London Thursday 05 December 2012: The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary and CONTEXTUAL UPDATER on the racist Sunday Times attack on the Brick Lane London E1 area 39 years ago…
Leveson: Brian Leveson was a puny youth of 24 when I embarked on the inquiry into the SUNDAY TIMES and Fleet Street, 39 years ago this week!
Incredible to think it has been 39 years!
But it is very very true.
Incredible to think that I have been campaigning in Britain for 39 years for a truthful Fleet Street!
But it is true.
It is incredible to think that I have been arguing almost in the same vain and following the same moral, ethical, evidential tools and standards that I am doing now!
But it is true.
It is also true that all this time, I have also been very conscious of the inevitability that the liars, the fakers, the fabricators who operate via “Fleet Street” and via the Sunday Times and the likes of the Sunday Times were not going to change their immorality and become moral, ethical in their practices.
Why?
Because for all the noise emitted about wanting truth, fairness and objectivity and above all freedom from “Fleet Street”, the occupant at No. 10 Downing Street isn’t really interested in seeing a truth-tellingPress.
And he influences what the rest of the power holdi ng cabals in the British Establishment” do.
As we are witnessing now over Leveson.
Cameron does not want to implement what Brian Leveson has recommended.
And whatever Leveson has recommended is already too modest, too deferring to the main cabal of Media owners.
So where do those of us who want a truth-telling Press go from here?
Most emphatically not to the corruptly conceived insult called the Press Complaints Commission [PCC].
Almost equally emphatically not to the “professional” “trade organisations” “representing” “media workers”.
While the PCC is a proprietors’ corruption-justifying barrier to getting a truth-telling Press, the various trade workers’ organisations too suffer from the deficiency in this context that their primary and the almost only aim is to protect their members’ interests.
That is where the Ann Clwyd
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Clwyd family loss story and the accompanying lesson comes into play.
According to Ms Clwyd, and as reported widely as well as by the Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/dec/04/ann-clwyd-husband-died-hen
in the past 24 hours, her husband [of 50 years] died in October this year amid [or as she is most certainly feeling, “due to and caused by”] an “almost callous lack of care” by hospital nurses.
The Guardian web site leads the item with the following very significant words:
“Ann Clwyd: my husband died like a battery hen in hospital
Labour MP tells of inhumane treatment and says she fears normalisation of cruelty now rife among NHS nurses”.
Normalisation of cruelty by nurses!
Normalisation of lying by journalism workers!
Normalisation of poverty, denial, disenfranchisement by the CONDEM Collusion.
Normalisation of hardship by the Department for Want and Poverty creation [the DWP].
Normalisation of rent arrears by the rent-rebate-paying local Council now operating regimes of cruelty under the cover of the CONDEM Cuts.
There has got to be an objective element in the unequal equation that now reigns in the UK Society. Or in what has been allowed to remain of Society.

London Sunday Times lies against Seelottees, again. The first time the Sunday Times lied about Seelot in a big way was on Sunday 2 December 1973.

It seems that I am forever engaged in a campaign. Of one sort or another.
But one that runs right across my whole year, any year, concerns the campaign about the role and the contents of the UK media. ‘The press’.
To get the ‘mainstream media’ in Britain to become acquainted with the facts. And hopefully at least be disposed to recognise truth sometimes!
It is an utterly unexciting and disappointing task.
And so it has been today.
Just as I was reviewing the role of the Tower Hamlets Council over the past 33 years, I came across something very striking on the Internet this morning.
33 years ago I had to embark on a consciousness raising campaign that lasted at least ten years before it was accepted that the Bangladeshis in the UK are often given unnecessarily inaccurate and false media images.
That was prompted by the Sunday Times colour magazine running a grotesquely anti-Seelottee, anti-Bangladeshi, piece penned by Lesley Garner. Garner has gone on to become one of those awfully ignorant British careerist epitomes of ethnicity-gender-linked prejudice and racism that to devote any space to her achievements’ would be distracting. But she has to be remembered. For her contribution to the
The London SUNDAY TIMES website has published today a plug piece for an alleged literary newcomer. But in doing so, the Sunday Times online edition has carried another perpetration of monumental lie.
That lies is that Seelot [Sylhet] ‘province’ in Bangladesh is ‘impoverished’.
As every single visitor to Bangladesh with any sense will testify, Seelot is NOT at all impoverished. Yes there are impoverished persons and families and groups in Seelot. But the majority are far from impoverished.
So, why does the London Sunday Times say in 2006 that Seelot is impoverished?
The answer must be looked for in agencies that have a vested interest in perpetuating the lie that Seelot is the impoverished ‘province’ of Bangladesh.
Those elements that make contact with the Western media including the ‘mainstream’ media in the UK do so to suppress the truth.
The economic and social condition of Seelot has been at a higher level than that of any other part of Bangladesh for several hundred years.
And that has nothing to do with the Lendoneeteka the ‘London Currency’ that is alleged by misinformed ‘writers’ to underlie the alleged recent prosperity in Seelot [which is also sometimes grudgingly admitted in the Western media].
The sources that provide the London Sunday Times with the ingredients of lies must include non-Seelottee elements that wrongly believe that by lying about Seelot they are making a contribution to the image of Bangladesh.
They are not.
Just as the racist factory-crafted ‘book’ by the multifariously non-Seelottee and anti-Seelottee ‘Monica’ Ali was not conceived of by anyone even faintly familiar with the vocation of writing, let alone by anyone who was a truthful writer.
Just as, 33 years ago on Sunday 2 December 1973, Lesley Garner, the immoral racist ignorant small-time ‘writer’ colluded with the then collection of corrupt anti-Seelotees feeding off the mainly Seelottee-speaking Bangladeshis in the Brick Lane London E1 area when Garner made her two shillings and let the racist SUNDAY Times magazine publish the evil ferocious attack on the Seelotees in the East End of London.
