Today I also read that the Leader Of Tower Hamlets one Lutfur Rahman, a man of sub-continental (Bangladeshi) origin may face possible charges of corruption and malfeasance in Public Office
Eric Pickles of English (Yorkshire) origin ha suspended the Council of which Mr Rahman is Leader and the duties of that council have been assumed by Government appointed nominees.
Mr Pickles has described the Council under Mr Rahman's Leadership as 'a rotten borough, infected by cronysism, led by a mediaeval monarch who misused his powers to favour (his own) ethnic and political allies'
A high Court Judge preided over a recount of the votes that elected Mr Rahman to office and has reportedly found 'gross' irregularities in the ballot papers that may lead to revocation of the election result
Such corrupt political practices are an import from the sub-continent and have been repeated in many parts of the UK where large Asian populations reside
It seems that the authorities have heretofore been reluctant to act in the case of Tower Hamlets for reasons that are obvious and do not need stated
Mr Rahman has often invoked the accusation of racism against any of his critics
