Lutfur Rahman was last month removed by a court from his position as Mayor of Tower Hamlets,



Quote:

Meanwhile, Mayor Rahman was able to live a life of considerable comfort. Ferried around in a tax-payer-funded chauffeur-driven car, he tried to arrange a life cocooned from criticism. He financially supported local Bengali media, which reciprocated by providing him with uncritical coverage, and he refused to answer questions from anyone potentially hostile. While missing no trick in attacking his political opponents, colleagues claimed that requests to question him would breach his human rights. All the while, vast quantities of council grants were diverted to organizations that sought to serve only the local Muslim community, from whom the Mayor gained his support. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a considerable number of the groups that benefited from this largesse were connected to the Mayor. It was not until a BBC reporter, John Ware, did a half-hour program looking into the financial irregularities in Tower Hamlets that Community Secretary Eric Pickles sent in auditors to go over the books. This action – like every other attempt to investigate corrupt activities in Tower Hamlets – was dismissed by a coterie of Rahman's defenders in familiar terms. When investigators entered the council to go over the books, the trade union "Unison" picketed the event with a banner stating, "Eric Pickles – Hands off Tower Hamlets. No to racism and Islamophobia." A diminishing but vocal group of supporters kept this up right to the end, not least the former MP, George Galloway, and the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. Finally, after a ten-week hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice last month, Lutfur Rahman's run of corruption and sectarianism came to an end. Four local residents, requesting that last year's Mayoral election in the borough should be recognised to have been corrupt and be declared void, brought a case to the election court. After hearing the evidence, the election commissioner, Judge Richard Mawrey, delivered a devastating verdict. ..... ..... In all of this, one thing particularly stands out. It is the same glaring question that emerged in the wake of the investigations into the Northern rape-gangs: where were all the authorities? Why had every institution of government failed?

What an appalling mess we are making, of our lives [here in the West], because we are too craven [and too corrupted], to do what we know is right and proper!

Moslems, are an extremely corrupting influence [among us],   ...but imo, it is we ourselves [we who, in days past, had the knowledge of a 'proper' control of our own circumstances] have given our own power, to much of what is coming upon us.


Dictionary;
craven = = contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly.


When wickedness reigns, calamity comes.



Isaiah 1:16
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17  Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.


Isaiah 1:23
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.


Jeremiah 5:25
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26  For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27  As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28  They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30  A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31  The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?



Deuteronomy 1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17  Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Lutfur Rahman was last month removed by a court from his position as Mayor of Tower Hamlets,



Quote:

In the case of Tower Hamlets, as with Rotherham, the police appeared, again, to be terrified of accusations of the kind Rahman and his friends were so adept and cynical about dishing out. Central government, apparently fearful for many of the same reasons, failed. It was left to a few intrepid journalists and four private citizens to uphold the law. Judge Mawrey said in his summing-up:     "On past form, it appears inevitable that Mr. Rahman will denounce this judgement as yet another example of the racism and Islamophobia that have hounded him throughout his political life. It is nothing of the sort. Mr. Rahman has made a successful career by ignoring or flouting the law and has relied on silencing his critics by accusations of racism and Islamophobia. But his critics have not been silenced and neither has this court. Events of recent months in contexts very different from electoral malpractice have starkly demonstrated what happens when those in authority are afraid to confront wrongdoing for fear of allegations of racism and Islamophobia. Even in the multicultural society which is 21st century Britain, the law must be applied fairly and equally to everyone. Otherwise we are lost." Britain ought to have learned this lesson already. The fact that we have not -- that we seem destined to have to keep learning it, again and again -- is the greatest problem for our society. Bad people do bad things, but when all the institutions of state fail to stop them, that is a problem for us all.

You’re right, Y. We’re too craven to remove a corrupt mayor.

Hideous.

Ban us.

"Nations establish laws for the preservation of the state."

The abrogation, by 'the state', of its proper authority and responsibility, relating to the application of [popularly agreed] laws, and the responsibility of 'the state' to ensure the proper working of a justice system, can only end in widespread lawlessness.

The primary purpose [reason for existence] [among a group of men] coming together to form a society [of men], is to seek to avoid and minimise the circumstance of lawlessness, within the area of authority, of that society of men !!

The primary purpose and function of 'a states' authority [its 'reason for being'], is in seeking [by the application of popularly agreed laws], to avoid lawlessness and anarchy among a group of men!

But in recent decades, the elites [and 'progressives'] in our Western societies have somehow managed to undermine and destroy all good respect for the laws and the values which have, in times past, actually underpinned the societal peace - AND PROSPERITY - which we have, to a large extent experienced and enjoyed.



But, now, chaos and mayhem are coming to the streets and the suburbs, where we live.

It may not have touched many of us yet, but be assured, this coming anarchy and lawlessness is going to touch all of us.

Don't blame others!!

We did it !

We ourselves, have allowed this to happen !

No ?

Indeed.

It is our fault that we have jihadis among us.

Don’t forget the Lutherans, dear boy. It may not have touched many of us yet, but be assured, this coming anarchy and lawlessness is going to touch all of us.

Words for the church door, no?
