Polling Station Controversy: Palestinian Flags Spark Debate

Disputes have emerged in many polling stations in the UK as some voters witnessed the presence of Palestinian flags close to the polling booths, operations, and the flag was accused of intimidating voters and compromising the electoral commission’s neutrality. The flags, dosed on lampposts in areas such as Tower Hamlets, Redbridge, and Barking have caused a lot of stir among the voters as well as the officials.  Council Response to Palestinian Flags Councils including Tower Hamlets, Redbridge, and Barking acted quickly to the outrage, sending their officials to take down the flags. Stating this problem would be to take a preventative measure to attempt to ward off voter complaints of possible intimidation and to challenge electoral laws and the existing guidelines that prohibit campaign material within a certain distance from polling stations.  JBouchez, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Voter’s Concerns on the Presence of Palestinian Flags With regard to the presence of the flags near the polling stations residents complained that these could be used to manipulate the results. Thus, most of the voters saw the flags as political themes that can work to influence the voters on the local and, particularly, national candidates, especially when some independent candidates started using the symbols of the flags in their election campaigns.  Palestinian flag reactions from the candidates  Some independents like Sham Uddin in Bethnal Green and Stepney, have resorted to using the Palestinian flag for stance on international affairs. The act has elicited a mixed response from the constituent where one group hailed it as a show of support for the writers and the other, deplored the act as it demeans the impartiality of the voting process.  Electoral Commission's Stand on Palestinian Flags Electoral Commission explained further that whereas distribution of campaign posters and banners is prohibited within a距polling station environs of 100 yards, the flying of flags per se is legal so long as this is not a coordinated campaign initiative. The commission urged that any perceived threats or attempts at coercion should be referred to the police since the law mainly regulates the utilization of campaign assets not aggression expressions.  Conclusion  Problems related to the usage of the Palestinian flags in the procedures of voting in the United Kingdom raise questions about the boundaries of the political freedom of speech in the elections. While the authorities attempt to guarantee free and fair elections this case reveals how symbolic actions influence the voters and the elections themselves. Subsequently, it causes reflection regarding how to respect freedom of speech while preventing biased elections.  Thus, the incident is seen as a valuable lesson for future electoral campaigns where to further particularize the rules concerning symbolic actions in proximity to the voting booths. It also creates an understanding that the external factors have the ability to shape the decisions of the voters; this leads to advocacy for increased preparedness and monitoring especially at the times of elections.  Read the full article

October 10th is the World Homelessness Day, a time to draw attention to the needs of the homeless people. Approximately 150 million people around the world don’t have a home. This equals 2 percent of the world’s population. Homeless people face many issues, including:

Mental and health problems, such as infectious diseases, dental problems, and chronic pain.

A lack of income which makes it difficult to afford food and rent.

Not having access to basic needs, such as dry clothes and clean water.

Prolonged exposure to the elements, such as heat, cold, rain, and snow.

Hunger and poor nutrition.

Many homeless people in large cities live in areas called slums. These slums are overcrowded and have very poor living conditions.

In the Victorian era, at least 15 poor and working class women were attacked and murdered in and around London’s Whitechapel area.

I thought I would share some of my research findings, analysed whilst I have been working on the second chapter of my thesis (which, as most of you know, is an exploration of the rape of the labouring class pre-teen and adolescent girls who appeared at the Old Bailey to prosecute their rapist circa. 1750-1800). This second chapter is on location: where exactly in Georgian London are the girls in my sample group being attacked? Are these places noted for their poverty, violence, criminality etc.? If they are picked up in notable red light districts, does the court draw attention to this fact to discredit their rape? This is not research any other historian who has looked at rape in 18th century London has explored.

I went through every single girl in my sample group and mapped the exact location of her rape (with some additional info about where she had originally been picked up, if that was how her attacker first came across her). Only 5 cases out of my 48 strong sample group had no location mentioned at all. Furthermore, the Old Bailey only had jurisdiction north of the Thames, and it covered the inner and outer areas of Greater London (so not just districts/boroughs within the precincts of the City itself).

Here are the most common locations for the girls in my sample group to be attacked, in order:

• Tower Hamlets - the London borough of the Tower Hamlets includes areas/parishes like Spitalfields, Stepney and St. Martin's le Grand. It lies in the traditional East End of London, where most residents during the 18th century were relatively poor. Also, around Bethnal Green and St. Martin's le Grand in particular, there were a lot of fields: a prime area for a rapist to take his victim.

• Westminster - This was a little bit of a shock to me as Westminster lies in the traditional West End of London, the more affluent of the two divides. However, after some reading around, I found that during the 18th century, as inner London expanded and the West End moved further West with the building of communities like Mayfair, Kensington, Marylebone etc., the affluent chose to leave Westminster and it became fairly poor as the century wore on.

• Covent Garden - Again, much like Westminster, Covent Garden had once been favoured by aristocrats and had been an expensive place to live in the latter years of the 1600s. By our time period however, it was not affluent.

• Holborn - Traditionally in the East End, but close to Covent Garden. Very poor and noted to be a violent place to live generally.

Breaking this down even more: Tower Hamlets was, as I said, in the East End. One historian I read said that the wealthy were as likely to walk on the moon as in the East End. Areas like Spitalfields had established working communities. Most people will have moved to the area because they had no other choice, due to their financial status. In a similar vein, though, historians like Cruikshank argue that London's criminals will have moved to London's less affluent localities (like Tower Hamlets) by choice. Obviously, I will need to explore whether the men who rape the girls living in the Tower Hamlets ARE particularly violent/criminal.....but I can make a pretty good guess at this point, considering that one has to be pretty morally bankrupt to rape a young or teenage girl.

Holborn was also in the East End and was ESPECIALLY noted for the level of violence there. It was home to some of Georgian London's poorest and most unstable communities: St Giles, in particular, which had criminal hideaways/hotspots like Dyott Street, Rat's Castle and the Rookeries. One of the most notorious places in Holborn, however, was Chick Lane. Chick Lane is mentioned a lot by contemporaries for its violence and cruelty. Indeed, in 1758, Chick Lane is where some of the body parts of Anne Naylor were found: Anne Naylor had been abused and brutally murdered by two women she was apprenticed to, Sarah Metyard and her daughter. Once again, some consideration of whether the rapist appears to be unusually violent but AGAIN....can make a guess based on the fact that, you know, he's a rapist.

Covent Garden straddled the border between the West and the East End of London. During the Restoration, it had been favoured by aristocrats and was expensive to live in. By this point, however, its reputation had dwindled and most people who lived there were poor. Interestingly, most of us know Georgian Covent Garden and Soho as London's main red light district a la Harris's List. This could lead to the assumption that these rapes follow the traditional and stereotypical narrative of a girl being mistaken for a sex worker and subsequently assaulted: however, at this point, it looks like most of the girls who were raped in the Covent Garden area were raped by someone they, at least to some extent, knew. Another thing I might say here is that Covent Garden had a lot of taverns (makes sense, people go there to enjoy themselves). Are the men who assault girls in Covent Garden, to coin a Georgian era phrase, 'in liquor'?

Lastly, we come to Westminster. It has the same history as Covent Garden, in that whilst it was technically in the West End, the expansion of London had meant that many of the wealthy had moved even further West by the latter half of the 18th century and its prestige had diminished (in the early 19th century, for example, Beau Brummell caused a scandal when he walked 'as far east as Westminster'). By this point, it had the same kind of reputation as Covent Garden and various areas in the Tower Hamlets. Interestingly, contemporaries seem to note that it also had a fairly thriving sex industry (think of Boswell picking up young street walkers on the Strand and around Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese) BUT UNLIKE COVENT GARDEN, the Westminster sex industry appeared to be held up by very young girls. Did the men have generally more perverted sexual proclivities here, then? I'm less inclined to think so, I think that, once again, it is a case of criminal, immoral men infiltrating London's less affluent areas because they are easy pickings. But it is interesting nonetheless.

On the subject of notable sex worker pick up areas (i.e. where sex workers would've congregated to pick up potential clients but also avoid being targeted by constables and moralists), only two girls were picked up (and then subsequently raped) by men in a pick-up area. Both were picked up in St. James's Park: one by three men who already had violent reputations and were hanged for their crime. The other, by a titled gentleman named Daniel Lackey Esq., who had initially picked up his victim near Birdcage Walk in St. James's Park. Birdcage Walk was a very famous pick-up area, frequented by both female and male sex workers and Lackey would use this fact against his victim in the court.

Clichy Estate housing: Stepney homes in Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets and PRP secure planning for ‘car free’ Clichy Estate

Clichy Estate Homes

Planning permission has been granted to replace three ageing council blocks in Stepney with 412 homes, new community facilities and green spaces. In line with the Council’s housing aspirations, 42 per cent of new homes will be affordable, with 56 per cent of these intended for larger families. The scheme has been designed to be entirely car free and energy efficient.

PRP was appointed by the council in 2019 to provide architecture, daylight, sunlight and overshadowing assessments, principal designer and landscape architecture services on the scheme.

New homes built on the site will be energy efficient, of high design quality and meet modern space standards. As part of the redevelopment, the council will be providing replacement community facilities, likely to be occupied by the existing local faith group, alongside new and improved landscaping and lighting, and a play area to benefit local residents and the wider community. The scheme will be entirely ‘car free’ with 34 podium parking spaces available for adapted/wheelchair accessible homes enabling the creation of more green and open spaces.

In March 2020, residents voted overwhelmingly (98 per cent) in favour of regeneration on a 93 per cent turnout, despite the country going into national lockdown.

The architectural design references the miss and hit pattern that can be found on the estate’s three original buildings, and adapts it to the new architecture to better connect the new buildings to the site’s history and its wider context. Originally built for the families of serving Metropolitan Police officers, this pattern is reminiscent of the ‘Sillitoe Tartan’ first introduced by Sir Percy Sillitoe in 1932, Chief Constable of the City of Glasgow Police, and now used throughout the world.

The impact of climate change has been considered in the landscape design for the new development, the proposals incorporate Sustainable Urban Drainage and soft landscape elements that aid in mitigating the impact of climate change and extreme weather such as the inclusion of a raingarden, green roofs, ecological features such as bug boxes, tree planting, and bee friendly pollinating plants.

Stephen Martin, Associate Director at PRP comments: “We are thrilled to have obtained this planning permission on behalf of our client, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, as it is the latest stage in the journey we have taken with residents. We have, since the start of the ballot process listened to, and worked closely with the residents and stakeholders for over two years, so this approval represents their wishes for the regeneration of their new homes and community. The high quality of the design is testament to the continuous engagement with residents from start to finish.

We look forward to continue to work with the residents on the final part of this journey; ensuring that this shared vision is delivered, not just for them, but also for the wider community and the council”.

Winnie Osei, Project Manager at the London Borough of Tower Hamlets said: “A significant amount of work was involved in securing the positive decision, ranging from the continued engagement with residents, and working closely with the design team, particularly PRP. This has culminated in a scheme to be proud of from the perspective of design, place making and building high quality homes. We are delighted about this great and positive outcome for the borough and its residents.”

Unseen colour photos of London’s East End

A recently discovered photo collection by the late photographer David Granick reveals London’s East End in colour, including streets in Stepney, Whitechapel and Spitalfields.

Image copyright David Granick

Image caption Brushfield Street, 1970

Local photographer Chris Dorley-Brown found the pictures when he was invited to review thousands of Granick’s colour slides in early 2017.

The discovery led to the release of the book The East End In Colour, 1960-1980, published by Hoxton Mini Press.

Image copyright David Granick

Image caption Mile End Road, 1977

Granick lived in the East End until his death in 1980 at the age of 68.

His photos bring to life a past that was predominantly documented in black and white. The collection was acquired by Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives in the early 1980s.

The Granick collection goes back to the 1950s, including the colour Kodachrome images seen here.

Dorley-Brown worked with other archivists to create a selection of about 200 of Granick’s photos for publication, taking around 10 months.

Dorley-Brown said: “The collection is very comprehensive, I was instantly excited by their sheer quality and beauty, I think this is a very valuable discovery for London’s photographic history.”

The image of the Stifford estate (below) from 1961 is Dorley-Brown’s personal favourite because it “embodies the uncertainty of how the modern tower blocks are going to impact the community from a resident’s perspective.”

Despite never meeting Granick, Dorley-Brown believes that the photographer could see an East End London in flux and was anticipating radical transformations in the visual landscape. He thinks he was determined to preserve “some kind of mysterious aura on film before it disappears.”

“All cities metamorphose over time, surfaces are remade and remapped, buildings are replaced, but somehow an essence of place manages to survive,” said Dorley-Brown.

“I like to think it is attitudes and resilience of the people that preserves traditions and the way places feel.”

Central London

   Central London is the innermost part of London, England. There is no official definition of its area, but its characteristics are understood to include a high density built environment, high land values, an elevated daytime population and a concentration of regionally, nationally and internationally significant organisations and facilities.

Road distances to London are traditionally measured from a central point at Charing Cross, which is marked by the statue of King Charles I at the junction of the Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street, just south of Trafalgar Square.[1]

 London Plan

 The London Plan includes a central activities zone policy area. This comprises the City of London, most of Westminster and the inner parts of Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth and Kensington and Chelsea.[2] It is described as "a unique cluster of vitally important activities including central government offices, headquarters and embassies, the largest concentration of London's financial and business services sector and the offices of trade, professional bodies, institutions, associations, communications, publishing, advertising and the media".[3]

For strategic planning, from 2004 to 2008, the London Plan included a sub-region called Central London comprising Camden, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster.[4] It had a 2001 population of 1,525,000. The sub-region was replaced in 2008 with a new structure which amalgamated inner and outer boroughs together.

 Census

The 1901 census defined Central London as the City of London and the metropolitan boroughs of Bermondsey, Bethnal Green, Finsbury, Holborn, Shoreditch, Southwark, Stepney, St Marylebone and Westminster.[5]

  1959–1963 proposals for a Central London borough

During the Herbert Commission and the subsequent passage of the London Government Bill, three attempts were made to define an area that would form a central London borough. The first two were detailed in the 1959 Memorandum of Evidence of the Greater London Group of the London School of Economics.

'Scheme A' envisaged a central London borough, one of 25, consisting of the City of London, Westminster, Holborn, Finsbury and the inner parts of St Marylebone, St Pancras, Chelsea, Southwark and Lambeth. The boundary deviated from existing lines in order to include all central London railway stations, the Tower of London and the museums, such that it included small parts of Kensington, Shoreditch, Stepney and Bermondsey. It had an estimated population of 350,000 and occupied 7,000 acres (28 km2).[6]

 'Scheme B' delineated central London, as one of 7 boroughs, including most of the City of London, the whole of Finsbury and Holborn, most of Westminster and Southwark, parts of St Pancras, St Marylebone, Paddington and a small part of Kensington. The area had an estimated population of 400,000 and occupied 8,000 acres (32 km2).[6]

 During the passage of the London Government Bill an amendment was put forward to create a central borough corresponding to the definition used at the 1961 census. It consisted of the City of London, all of Westminster, Holborn and Finsbury; and the inner parts of Shoreditch, Stepney, Bermondsey, Southwark, Lambeth, Chelsea, Kensington, Paddington, St Marylebone and St Pancras. The population was estimated to be 270,000.[7]
