Newham Labour spokesman Ken Clark said "Newham Labour will not be at the meeting on Monday evening, organised by two self-appointed organisations that deliberately misrepresent the views of the Council and those elected to it."<br /><br />Ken Clark tried to rubbish a local group which trying to fight expansion at London City Airport.<br />He ignored the plights of residents suffering from aircraft noise from London City Airport. <br /><br />-----<br /><br />On 3rd February 2015, at Newham Council's Planning Committee, the council met to decide on further expansion of London City Airport. <br /><br />Ken Clark sits at this Planning Meeting.

Why would he do that as that would invite possible Tory voters.<br /><br />Sir Robin Wales is an expert in double thinking. He will make out that he is trying to regenerate Newham (e.g. Olympics), but at the same time they have policies which destabilise the area, through different policies.<br /><br />As a classic example. He says Newham has a transient population, but then he goes on to sell off Carpenters Estate to replace them with students college / accommodation (students are transient population and often short of money).<br /><br />He then makes a speech how the Torys are not building social housing (which wins support with Labour) and at the same time tearing down Carpenters Estate.<br /><br />Sir Robin's game is simple.

Indeed at one of 2013 'music in (East Ham) central park' events I had the very same flunky as in the video squaring up to me (although he kept a few pensioners between him and me) after I directed abuse to Wales as the Mayor went on his regal stroll (along with his flunkies) amongst the plebs, as he does at these events.<br /><br />But I'm also think the process followed here was wrong. The Members Code of Conduct is imposed to try and prevent councillors both being rude (as here) but also expressing their views. <br /><br />If a cllr, I would have no hesitation in telling Pickles or a BNP cllr to 'eff off' or indeed saying the same to senior council officers (whose job would include thwarting any radical plans by councillors). <br /><br />Wales should be able to express his views - show his true colours and his contempt for the poor as he dreams of turning his borough into the new Islington or Hackney.<br /><br />The Code of Conduct is an antidemocratic imposition - expose the charlatan but do not use reactionary measures to do so.Southpawpunchhttps://twitter.com/Southpawpunchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786438112933136892.post-15775144475530883252015-02-01T12:47:20.830+00:002015-02-01T12:47:20.830+00:00I worked in Newham, supporting schools.

He has not been sympathetic to those residents both in Newham and neighbouring boroughs who suffer from aircraft noise from London City Airport.<br /><br />Newham Council keep giving them planning permission to expand, without much consideration to people.<br /><br />London City Airport has put in another planning application for expansion. How long are people going to be tortured by this airport?. When the airport opened in 1987, people were told a maximum of 30,000 flight would be allowed to serve an exclusive VIP business community. So why have the politicians allowed them to expand to 120,000 flights? (that is one flight every 90 seconds). The new routes are to places like Ibiza and Mallorca. How is this for the benefit of the UK economy?<br /><br />The airport is an unethical business, every penny it makes, comes at a high personal cost of those whose quality of life is damaged by the airport. The airport is in denial about noise disturbance it causes and does not want to face it. People cannot open windows. Even with windows shut there is a constant noise. We can't enjoy the local park and people cannot sit in their gardens. People cannot dry their clothes outdoors, due to the awful smell of aviation fuel.<br /><br />Why should the noise from their operations be allowed to tresspass into my home?. The airport does not own my home, they have no right.<br /><br />The airport has outgrown the site and should re-locate. We need to have Stratford International open, so we can have an alternative to air travel.<br /><br />The airport has put in a new planning application, they want to build more aircraft stands, which means more ground noise. They want to deck over King George V dock for more runway space. They don't want to do this construction work during the day, but at night when the airport is supposed to be shut. So we can expect noise 24 hours a day. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786438112933136892.post-70164798591317887492014-05-17T00:00:05.370+01:002014-05-17T00:00:05.370+01:00Newham finally has a credible opposition.....

There has been no attempt at this in my lifetime other than the Christian Peoples Alliance in the south of the borough who effectively relied on a clique vote and a hatred amongst the electorate for the muppets that Labour foisted on them. Unfortunately the ideas of that party were repugnant and they have not lasted the course. The tories are not likely to mount an effective challenge as the Mayor is more right wing than they are and doing their job for them. The only hope in the short to medium term is that some of the current crop of Labour councillors figure out a way to challenge the Mayor, but with the majority of them being bought off with extravagant special responsibility allowances for non jobs, there is little hope of that.birdmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786438112933136892.post-56872908065062628572014-03-11T11:30:42.891+00:002014-03-11T11:30:42.891+00:00An enjoying and insightful interview.
