Anyone got any oxygen?
Our wall of protest in the entrance hall at the centre has been removed by management as has almost every sign publicising the meeting.My facebook acount has been misteriously disabled, the social networking site says it cannot identify the content that broke its rights and responsabilitys clause due to "tecnical and security"reasons. This could have somthing to do with me inviting people to the meeting via the site. Management are determined that we do not hold a public meeting to publicise the plight of the Bethnal Green Centre. We are being denied what Margret Thatcher called" the oxygen of publicity " by a labour council
There are two oganisations that provide classes at the centre one is life long learning which is run by the council, the other is tower hamlets collage. The collage is in negotiations to move out of the building to Oxford house for an agreed period, to make way for school children from nearby Oaklands school while their school is refurbished. This is the same argument that was used nearly two years ago to dismantle our adult education centre. Once the school children move out the council will be left with a half empty building This is a clasic devide and concquer tactic and a stepping stone move to close the centre.Nine subject cordinators for life long lerning have already been given redundency notices
In a recent e-mail from Isobell Catermole , acting corprate director to Fazul Hoque the wards labour counciler she assures us that life long learning classes will not be affected and that there are no plans to despose of rhe building. This is trying to put the cat back into the bag as we have already uncoverd plans at a meeting under the freedom of information act to sell the building.This is also confermed in a letter from Kevan Collins to George Galoway.
This charade of the council trying to deny their intentions will not wash with people who have been lied to before.
Trying to get the council to revel their plans for the centre is like trying to get blood out of a stone see Mike Michells sterling efforts by googling "reports on the future of bethnal green adult education centre"
all the twists and turns and misinformation is all desighned to make our job harder sufice to say
THE BETHNAL GREEN CENTRE IS UNDER THRET!
SAVE IT!

Here we go again
The Bethnal Green Centre is once again under thret from Tower Hamlets Council.
Come to the meeting with counciler Fazul Hoque THURSDAY 19 NOVEMBER AT 5.30 at the Bethnal Green Centre, 229 Bethnal Green road (behind the post office)
The latest attack on dirtyhands classes such as woodwork and upholstery comes in the form of an"observation"in which tutors previously marked as outstanding have been said to be unsatisfactory. Teaching which dose not fit through the moving goal posts will be sudspended.One fixture built by the health and safety coordinator was said to be a hazard on health and saftey grounds.
Course fees have been raised, as has the minimum number of students required to run a course.Therefore courses have been closed due to lack of numbers.Marketing of classes remains woefuly inadiquate
One tutor has been thretend with suspension should they get involved in the fight back.(no suprise there then)
Counciler Hoque seems to have forgoten that we were at the hustings meeting before he was elected where he was arguing for the introduction of school children into the Bethnal Green Centre, now he seems to have changed his mind saying he would like to see it as a" community centre"
Show your support for this vital community recorce by coming on thursday 19th ,sighn the pettition or sighn up for a class.
GET INTO ACTION!
GET IN IT TO WIN IT!

COME AND SEE THE PANTOMIME!
This is the picture that council management did'nt want you to see.
At 5.30 pm on Friday 25th April, the day before the demonstration, we recived an e-mail from management which said that if we were to publish images of muslim woman on the net, not only would we face diseplinery action but the women in question, and us could face persicution from their families and possibly harm from their inlaws.with this in mind we pulled the photo before the demmo took place.I once attended a demmo in Bradford where communitys had been spun against eachother and it was not pritty. At a further meeting with management I was given a"friendly" reminder that there have been honor killings.I must stress that this was a thret from council management and NOT THE MOSQUE.We are not and will not be devided along religious lines.I am not a religious man and the only time i've been in a mosque was to ask where to buy a decent pair of flip flops,but i know this.Islam is based on peace love and wisdom and as for the idiots of any reigion who kill and persicute in the name of what ever they call god I say,
THE WIZARD OF BOZ WILL NOT BE HIDING IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND,YOU KNOW WHERE I AM AND WHO I AM come and kill me.
We have published several pictures of women on the net, its difficult to know what religion they are from a photo none of which have caused a problem exept this one.It is interesting that the management thret came the day after we went to a hustigs meeting at St Hilders community centere where we distributed leaflets with this blogsite and potrayd a few feelings to Fazul Hoque the Labour candidate who won the seat.
In the original image two asian women are seen behind Clair Hawkins looking interested and attentive at what was being said.Ms Hawkins doesn't look so sure.
Those of us who wish to contribute to the illusion of democracy can come and see the pantomime live at Tower Hamlets town hall,Mulbury place, London,E14 on 25th of June at 7.30 when we will be sending a delegation to decuss the future of The Bethnal Green Centre with the full meeting of the council.

Stickers with this logo turnrd up as the demmo.Pure magic!
Spike is a biker in a wheelchair who literaly can not speek for himself.
His class will be closed in September.The stickers said it all.
this is the coverage of the demmo in the East London Advertiser.The standard gives the councils side of the story,and the councils East end Life seems to have missed the fact altogether that 200 plus people marched up Bethnal Green road on Saturday.This publication costs the people of Tower hamlets over one and a half million pounds a year to run
and gives us their version of the truth.
click on the image to view East end Life coverage.
Tower hamlets collage staff,who share the building with life long learning, were offered redundancy yesterday.This is further confermation that Towerhamlets council plan to sell the building.
Watch this space for some very fun stuff to come!
