I have lived in the East End all my life. I have been extremely
active campaigning for council housing and against privatisation.
In two of my campaigns me and my fellow campaigners managed to secure
around 90% opposition to housing transfer.
I have also campaigned against the Crossrail plans to dig enormous
holes across Tower Hamlets and supported a war memorial to the Bethnal
Green tube victims in the Second World War. I am also campaigning
for elderly and vulnerable people facing massive increases in their
utility charges.
I want to save the East End from ruthless, profiteering developers
and make it a decent place for all the people from the many different
backgrounds and cultures who make London such a great place to live
in.
I am proud that I so annoyed the New Labour careerists who are
trying to ruin Tower Hamlets they banned me from local council
meetings. I believe in standing up for local residents.
I am both a mother of five children and grandmother to seven.
