/// We noted, for example, how he has given about £50,000 in grants to the Bengali media and a further £50,000 a year for "community media advice" to the chief correspondent of the most popular Bengali TV channel. That same channel has three times breached Ofcom impartiality rules by its blatantly biased coverage of the mayor. He counters that the relationship the two have is "professional". ///
There is something worrying when a Mayor of a mainly ethnic minority borough of London, not only tries to stop a BBC 'Panorama' report, but also channels public money toward self interest sources.

Funnily enough, I know Walworth/East Lane very well (I spent my first 38 years there). In fact, I worked on the market for a short time, and could hear it from my mum's house on a Saturday morning. Possibly the best market I've ever been to (Borough is great too, but way too expensive).
However, London is a very big place. I am not interested in visiting many of the boroughs. The places I have already mentioned are good enough for me. I don't need to trek all over the place, because there's absolutely no need.

Okay - I don't want to.
There's only so many hours in the day.
There are hundreds of boroughs and high streets in London, most of which I can't be arsed to visit.
And it's not 'confining' myself. I'm lucky to live in Islington, near the Northern Line, so I can get to Camden Lock, Oxford Street, Leicester Square, Hoxton, Shoreditch, Upper Street, Borough, Spitalfields, Farringdon, Soho etc etc.
If a mate of mine said, "Hey...do you want to go to Tower Hamlets?" my first reaction would be "Why?"
It would be like going to Tooting Bec, Fulham or Park Royal. There would have to be a really good reason to go there.

I really don't want to go to East London for a night out. It's simply too much of a hassle to get to, but especially because so many of my mates live around the Kentish Town / Islington / Old Street triangle, as to make a trek out eastwards as being a really weird thing to do.
When I lived in Walworth, my nights out meant Camberwell / Clapham / Streatham. I would never dream of going to, say, Mile End or Islington, because there was no need.
