  1. Would that ‘light fraud and money laundering’ be added under Tower Hamlets in the ‘what are our councils doing’ update post’

  2. Lutfur Rahman has form re: being up to no good in office…… At it again is he?

  3. Fake news. No way this can be real. Not the guy who was found guilty of electoral fraud and banned from office. I’d be shocked.

  4. It’s always the ones you most suspect.

    I know fraud/grift is rampant in Councils and the Tower Hamlets crew is just worse at covering it up or doing it in the accepted way, but there really should be a one strike policy for this kind of thing. Convicted fraudsters shouldn’t even be eligible to stand. 

  5. I mean shocking… I’m totally shocked. Whoever could have seen this coming.

  6. If I speak I am in trouble. But I will. If you grow up in working class minority boroughs you’ll meet people who brag about getting a council house quickly by knowing the right people. Actually this must be rife everywhere as my friend in Kent knows of the same things happening there, too.

  7. Here we go again. So fed up with this rancid, fraudulent, parasite on my borough.

  8. I was told by neighbors in Tower hamlets that lutfur should return because…

    He’s against gentrification
    He’s beloved
    He’s against road closures
    He’s not part of those who don’t belong

    Well look at what your selfish voting has got you.

  9. Not surprised. That whole borough is just dodgy. I also wonder what the unemployment rate is there ? I was in Whitechapel the other day and the amount of people out and about seemingly doing nothing was mind boggling, it was 11am on a Wednesday morning but looked like Oxford Street at 2pm on a Saturday.

  10. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine this to be true.

  11. It’s scary what is happening at Tower Hamlets council. Why isn’t it national news?
