AN AADHIKARonline investigative report [1]

The malaise of unaccountability and corruption that the Tower Hamlets Council-controlled 'free' 'newspaper' 'East End Life' represents has now reached the Borough of Lambeth.

According to a report carried on the ITV London Tonight programme last night [Friday 20 November 2009], the disease is ruining the business of the local paid-for printed newspaper the SOUTH LONDON PRESS [=SLP].

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD LAMBETH people so! How? For years we have campaigned across London to hold the local ‘councillors’ to account to the local community.

We even gave the benefit of our campaign findings and materials to the SOUTH LONDON PRESS to publish.

And did they?

Most empoahtucally NOT…

What does THAT remind us of? Why UK Lib Dems’ Party’s OTT-hyped ‘deputy leader’ Vince Cable’s Chair’ of ceremonies as staged at the Oxford House in Bethnal Green on 15 October 2009, Malcolm Star********!

Of course and his ‘local newspaper’ the East London Idiotiser…

Contrary to the lame mythology broadcast in the package as fronted by ITV London staffer Phil Bayles, the SOUTH LONDON PRESS has NOT lived up to any record of its ancient past.

It has been a long time since the SLP has broken a genuinely locally important story…

The SLP is more like the East London Idiotiser than Phil Bayles may have understood as he let the mastheads of Council-controlled lies sheets roll past behind the image of his person facing the video cameras.

Phil Bayles has scarcely much to be proud of by way of independent reporting of events in London. He is a placeman, of considerable years fronting bulletins on the London Tonight slot, who does what mechanically is orchestrated by his arrangers…

That package he fronted yesterday was not new nor did it contain any news. Not really. The ‘local papers’ trade outfits have been going on about how they are losing out because the Councils are now running ads in their own 'in-house' free sheet propaganda outfits…This is damaging the revenue of the ‘commercially independent’ titles like the SLP and the ‘ELA’….

The real test is: who is telling the truth to and about the local communities in each area?
