The Bangladeshi community in the UK in July 2010 has got to free itself from servility to ethnicity-linked careers and enterprises..
CBRUK statement,
"The Bangladeshi community in the UK in July 2010 has got to free itself from servility to ethnicity-linked careers and enterprises...
What took place after the mobilisation against racist attacks of 1978 has taken the community off from the battle for human rights and true freedom.
The Bangladeshis are now subjected to a simulated programme daily whereby there is an almost tenable feeling that the ‘community’ is “gripped” by over-dominant diversionary activities by self-seeking elements that are foisting the servile image of the community on an hourly basis by the cheaply available [that is LICENSED by in the current case UK OFCOM] satellite TV and the equally cheaply produced [and totally bankrupt ethnicity linked ' 'Bangla' language' ' meeja.' Almost on a daily basis, instances of fraud, deception and misrepresentation of fellow Bangladeshis by sets of Bangladeshi perpetrators are being experienced in the community.
Those who have captured the token positions scripted, funded and patronised by the UK state are allowing no political action.
In fact they are systematically DISORGANISING the community fragmenting all remnants of universally viable direction for self defence and universally understood safety in David Cameron’s promised ‘Big Society’. In the reality of life as suffered by the targets of racist attacks, be they done by a gang as large as described in the instance reported by the ‘East London Advertiser’ or by a lone perpetrator, there is no sign of society, regardless of a size.
That moment when an individual is selected to humiliation and violence because of their race, religion or ethnicity, is a solitary moment of indescribable terror that no one should be made to go through. Yet this is what is happening in an increasing number of cases. The same is true of the UK political parties.
They have created a type of Bangladeshi-named servile tools who are over-dressed in image and in promotion as Bangladeshi but who are totally bereft of any direction about the community’s universally recognisable human rights. The attack on the newsagent in Sydney Street [off Whitechapel Road/Mile End Road,] is a serious indication of things to come.... All the parasitic preoccupation by the cottage industry of 'family and village-linked' outfits operating to capture positions on the local council or in the local c constituency is to be exposed as the disgraceful sham and diversions that their agenda setters wanted them to be....
The fight against racism has got to be resumed. NOW. "

What could be the 'meaning of the stated attack on 'newsagent' inside his own shop in Whitechapel?
Was it a racist attack? Was it a ‘race hate’ attack? Was it an attack on an ideologically targeted’ part of the population?

In the far corner of the Park they call the 'Altab Ali Park'

In the far corner of the Park they call the 'Altab Ali Park' stood a group. A small group of people.
One woman.
Three men.
One man stood out.
He looked different.
He sounded different.
The other two, the men, stood by as the man looking different and the woman talked.
At times the woman looked as if she would fall over.
Backwards.
At other times the man who looked and sounded different looked as if he would fall over. The two of them were animated.
They were vocal.
What were they doing?

Who is exploiting the martyrs of 1978 in 2010? Who is cutting out references to BOTH Bangladeshi and non-Bangladeshi people in the community?

Who cut out the bit from that speech at the Altab Ali Park on 2 May 2010 where the speaker raised questions about the local Tower Hamlets Council being used as a career ladder by so many who had exploited the martyrdom of Altab Ali when in fact those careerists were willfully and negligently denying the realities that affected the people of the East End, including Bangladeshis and non Bangladeshis?
Who ‘edited out’ the passionate demand that WHITYE youngsters as well as Bangladeshi ones were in the main neglected by the schools in Tower Hamlets?
Who grabbed all the funds by exploiting the martyrdom of Altab Ali and of others especially the less mentioned but previous martyrs Tosir Ali and the 2nd Bangladeshi martyr in the same year as saw Altab Ali’s martyrdom – 1978 - Ishaque Ali?
Who failed to confront Christine Gilbert’s ‘mentor’ Anne Sofer when Sofer held the post of ‘Education Officer’ in Tower Hamlets where Sofer then proceeded to threaten court action against parents of a white child over a dispute that had not arisen from any fault on the parents’ part but from the RACIST policy of failing the children that Anne Sofer was backing?
Why was Anne Sofer allowed to carry on justifying failing schools in Tower Hamlets?
Where were all those who suddenly remembered Altab Ali in May 2010, 32 years after the Alis' martyrdom?
And why were so many Party political elements ‘invited’ to claim that they had somehow ‘contributed’ to the real fight against racist prejudice and racism?
Is their ‘role’ being reflected today, when the entire community is being hijacked by as many as FOUR different – and almost openly at war - outfits claiming to be ‘UNITED’ in their ‘defence’ of the community in Tower Hamlets?
Who is ‘boasting’ of their own ‘troops’ ‘mobilised’ to ‘dare’ their ‘rivals’ in their hostile contests to ‘unite’ the community in whose name they can then make profitable spiels and pose before the many ethnicity linked TV and video cameras?

2010 has seen a lot of 'activity' at the Altab Ali Park! Why so? Why after 32 years?
Why was a rally that was supposed to happen at Altab Ali Park at 4 PM yesterday NOT held?
