As the UK Con Party annual jamboree being staged right now hears of their banal version of their definition of crime and society, the 'mainstream' media continues to fail to tackle the real deficit and bankruptcy affecting society.

And this is due to the bankruptcy and deficit in the minds of those in control of the editorial contents and biases in the 'local papers' as well as in the regional ones and in the so-called national ones.

This problem has been constantly examined and dissected by the Khoodeelaar! Campaign over the past almost six years.

As was done on 26 June 2008 in an email I sent to a member of staff at the Press Complaints Commission in London:
__________________________________________________________________________



The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against Crossrail has notified the PCC of over dozens of complaints.

It is a matter of record.

Also, we have NOT supplied you with paper clips of recent items about which we have complaints against the same publisher and publication.

We also filed complaints against the London ‘EVENING STANDARD’.

This particular one goes back to at least February-March 2004. Plus we have filed complaints with the PCC against the ‘Guardian’ newspaper.

On ALL those, the PCC has NOT acted to the logical appropriate conclusion. Many of the complaints have therefore been left in abeyance.

Irrespective of the utterances by Christopher Meyer who will be cited as a consistent source of many of our operative assumptions, as far as the PCC and its de facto institutionalised attitude to complainants goes....

What am I saying there?

I am saying and intending to say that the PCC serves as a DISCOURAGER by inaction, that it discourages complainants from pursuing to the full the complaints against newspapers. And that is the core of the PCC agenda. That is the core of the PCC purpose.

I am also aware that we have put to the PCC the notice of our intention to take court action against the PCC after the formalities with the PCC are over.

This we have said on the basis of the evidence that the PCC is NOT an organisation that provides anywhere near the necessary redress against wrongdoing newspapers.

The key complaints against the 'East London Advertiser' [or indeed against the EVENING STANDARD or the Guardian] is NOT about just the technicality of the particular contents of or in one or a number of published items and any inaccuracies, biases etc. in them.

The real complaint is against the policy of discrimination, bias and unfairness being practised by these publications in the context of the campaign and in the context of the community concerned.
