mixed messages, dodgy candidates and a record of increasing Council Tax by 27%

The Croydon Labour Party’s heroic bid to reclaim the swing

new leisure centre. <o:p></o:p></div>

Eye witnesses have told The Croydon Gazette that there are
no tellers at the polling stations in Waddon, even in some of Labour’s best
areas. The revelations fly in the face of Labour Leader Tony Newman’s recent
claims that he has picked a ‘dream team’ for the area.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rewind just two years ago during the Mayoral elections and
Waddon was a polled as a decisive Labour win. All that changed when the group
appointed controversial former Tory Andrew Pelling whose electromagnetic
ability <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-482835/Tory-MP-accused-assaulting-pregnant-wife-lose-seat.html"><span style="color: blue;">to
attract negative publicity</span></a> has derailed the Labour Party’s campaign.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A former Conservative colleague of Pelling told this
newspaper, “Andrew will explode like a volcano if he doesn’t get in, he was
clearly planning to take over the Labour Group, become a Labour MP and challenge Ed Miliband for party leader. Since he was caught <a href="http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/yoursay/letters/10864765.Andrew_Pelling_s_eye_on_Westminster_shows_his_true_political_ambitions/?ref=rss"><span style="color: blue;">secretly

suspicious of him and that has seriously damaged Labour’s campaign in Waddon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The source continued, “If he fails in what should be an easy
win for Labour, there will be question marks over whether he has lost his mojo
and is actually repelling voters as a political liability. Croydon Labour need
a winner, not a loser, and Andrew’s repeated political failures put him firmly
in the loser category.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>SENIOR </b>sources inside the Croydon Labour party have publicly
criticised the group’s disastrous campaign that is threatening to see the party
walk into its third straight election defeat, The Croydon Gazette can reveal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Senior sources within the group gave exclusive quotes to
local newspaper <i>The Croydon Advertiser</i>
revealing the extent of split within the group. The source said, “There have
been many concerns with how the Labour Group has been managed over a
significant period of time. Regrettably many of those strands are coming
together at a most unwelcome time. The lack of unity within the party is
diverting attend and efforts away from what is the major goal, which is to gain
power.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Labour leader Tony Newman has come under severe criticism
for his mis-management of the campaign, which has seen the group AXE its only
domestic violence spokesperson, Karen Jewitt, who had campaigned to protect
women who have been battered by their partners. Jewitt had also been raising awareness
of online abuse and how violent wife beaters have been using Twitter and blogs to
attack the friends of their victims to isolate the person they are abusing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Tory source said, “The Croydon Labour group has said that
it wants to make tackling wife beaters a top priority, but their actions show
they are turning a blind eye to these monsters. Wife beaters are bullies and
cowards who lie and cheat their way through life - Karen was the voice against
them and sacking her sends out the wrong signal.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>RESPECTED</b> Croydon journalist and radio presenter Bieneosa Ebite has defended her decision to confront a candidate standing for the National Front on her In the Loop show and has hit back at a vicious smear campaign orchestrated via the notorious Inside Croydon blog. Ebite, whose parents were originally from Nigeria, put National Front candidate Tony Martin on the spot live on air and had to endure comments about repatriation in a challenging interview.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The bold move won praise from some of Croydon’s politicians including Gavin Barwell MP and others who believe “these views need to be exposed & confronted.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But that didn’t stop fellow Croydon Radio presenter and Labour candidate Andrew Pelling from resigning in disgust, an announcement delivered live on air by his close friend and mentor, Labour Leader Tony Newman. But the next morning, Ebite found herself plastered across the Inside Croydon blog with the station’s founder interviewed by the blog.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
But today Ebite <a href="http://croydonradio.com/blog/view.php?ArticleID=307" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">hit back at the smear campaign saying</span></a>, “I have noted that a small element associated with an aforementioned blog site, has sought to smear the quality of my broadcasts and I believe that their reports in relation to this have been misleading. I feel their attitude towards me and my decision to interview Tony Martin has been patronising.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Croydon Labour Leader Tony Newman repeatedly
stumbled in the first Radio debate ahead of the Croydon Local Elections 2014.
In the live interview on the In the Loop show<span style="color: blue;"> </span><a href="https://twitter.com/bieneosa" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">hosted by Bieneosa Ebit</span>e</a>,
Newman went head-to-head against current Conservative Leader Mike Fisher in the
first in a string of debates that will decide who governs Croydon for the next
four years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Labour’s Newman focussed the debate around Labour’s pocket
manifesto entitled ‘Ambitious for Croydon’ but Fisher hit back claiming the
document should be called ‘Ambivalent for Croydon’. On the attack, Fisher then
said that the Labour leader makes a detailed pitch on what he wants to do for
Croydon, but nowhere in the document does he explain how he is going to pay for
it, accusing Labour of being dishonest with the people of Croydon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fisher then moved the debate onto Council Tax attacking
Labour for increasing Council Tax by 27% and 36% when they were last in the
Town Hall. Newman responded by saying that the Tories were obsessed with things
that happened ten years ago, Fisher reminded Newman that the reason for this is
that it was then that Labour were last in power.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Newman ended the debate by plugging his best friend Andrew
Pelling, with Fisher saying “Let’s talk about Andrew Pelling shall we…” before
the presenter cut the interview short. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lacklustre performance from the usually booming and
passionate Labour leader has underlined fears within the Labour group that its
personal attack campaign is beginning to backfire badly in swing seats such as
Waddon and New Addington. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Polling shows a close race in both seats with everything
left to play for, but voters have become disenchanted with Labour due to its
repeated attacks on the private lives, character and families of Conservative candidates
via sites such as the Inside Croydon Blog, which Newman regularly writes for. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In one post, Local New Addington resident Tony Pearson is
branded a ‘Pillock’, a fact that has not gone down well with local people in
the marginal ward. “Conservative Councillor Tony Pearson is a decent, local family man who has lived in New Addington all his life and does not deserve
this kind of personal abuse from Labour,” said one source. <o:p></o:p></div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Croydon Labour party was last night accused of staggering
hypocrisy over its pledge to make tackling domestic violence a top priority –
after <i>The Croydon Gazette</i> revealed
that the group <b>AXED</b> its domestic violence spokesperson. Last summer the party <a href="http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/Croydon-Labour-stalwart-ousted-party-selection/story-19350871-detail/story.html"><span style="color: blue;">ruthlessly
deselected Karen Jewitt</span></a>, a Woodside ward colleague of Labour Leader Tony
Newman, despite many years of service to her constituents.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jewitt, who campaigned relentlessly against wife beaters,
once said, “The threat or reality of sexual and domestic violence impacts on
the lives of many women. A third of all women experience domestic violence at
some point in their lives, and around 25 London women are killed by their
current or former partner each year.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Violence against women - especially domestic violence - has
been identified as a key issue in all London boroughs in the crime audits and
community safety plans drawn up under the Crime and Disorder Act,” she added. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Conservative members were left genuinely shocked at the sacking
of a popular and well-liked woman who had campaigned for some of Croydon’s most
vulnerable women. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is understood that Jewitt was campaigning specifically
around the growing problem of wife beaters using social media sites like blogs to
target the friends and family members of their victims – a strategy to leave
the victim feeling isolated and vulnerable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A source inside Croydon Conservatives said, “We have a zero
tolerance approach to wife beaters.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In January the Metropolitan Police revealed a 15.5 per cent
increase in domestic violence. Jewitt has since secured her position as a candidate in another seat. </div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
National polling has indicated a sharp post-budget bounce
for the Conservatives, a factor which leaves the local elections in the London
borough of Croydon too close to call. The Conservatives and Labour are locked
in a bitter battle in the upwardly mobile New Addington ward, with issues such
as Council Tax and local candidates being key issues on the agenda of local
people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ward, once considered safe territory for Labour, was
rocked at the last election when Conservative candidate Tony Pearson was
elected in a surprise victory. Such an outcome should have immediately set
alarm bells ringing amongst Labour strategists who could, and should have
ensured local candidates were put forward for 2014. The Conservatives, seeing
the opportunity to take two seats from Labour in its home turf have selected
local New Addington residents Lara Fish and Tony Pearson again. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sense of panic is the Labour campaign can be seen with
the relentless <a href="http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/education/educationnews/10935862.Shadow_pensions_minister_visits_New_Addington/"><span style="color: blue;">arrival
of Shadow Cabinet Ministers in New Addington</span></a>, with Chuka Umunna, Rachel Reeves
and even Alan Johnson making guest appearances in the ward. But Labour have
struggled to justify the credibility of its candidates, choosing representatives
who live in Thornton Heath and Shirley. In a tight-knit local community, the
line “Not living in New Addington, but able to stand up for New Addington” is
seen as an insult to local people. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Under the leadership of Tony Newman, the local Labour Party
has also toxified its once loved working class brand, by launching a <a href="http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/yoursay/letters/10769294.Dubious_choices_for_Labour_councillor_hopefuls_in_New_Addington/"><span style="color: blue;">string
of vicious attacks against Tony Pearson</span></a>, despite the fact that he is known
and well-liked in New Addington. In one post, an article on a Labour supporting
blog had a photograph of Pearson next to the word ‘Pillock’ attacking his job.
Another alleged Labour trainer claimed on Twitter that <a href="http://croydongazette.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/croydon-labour-new-addington-hole.html"><span style="color: blue;">New
Addington was ‘a hole’</span></a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a strategy that more respectable, decent Labour Party
members such as Gerry Ryan and Stuart Collins would never either endorse of
encourage, but under Tony Newman negative, personal campaigning has become
central to the Croydon Labour Party’s approach to politics. Mr Newman has been
asked several times to condemn or distance himself from the muck throwing, <a href="http://croydongazette.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/inside-croydon-labour-tony-newman.html"><span style="color: blue;">but
robustly defended it on live radio</span></a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Ask anyone in the Council chamber or the town hall who has
found themselves on the receiving end of Croydon Labour’s smear campaign or on
the Inside Croydon blog and they will tell you just how nasty and rotten the
once respected local party has become. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But residents in New Addington are not fools and regard the
smearing of one of their own as an insult to their community and their town. Croydon
Labour have the wrong strategy, the wrong candidates and the wrong leader, and
voters will punish them heavily for it on May 22.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Croydon Labour Party ran a borough-wide campaign calling
for the opening of more public toilets, whilst its leading candidate was secretly
filming men urinating. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Writing <a href="http://www.croydonlabour.org.uk/south-norwood-toilets"><span style="color: blue;">in local newspaper</span></a>
The Croydon Guardian, Councillor Timothy Godfrey who represents the Selhurst
Ward claimed, "Labour Councillors in South Norwood worked hard to find an
appropriate site and negotiated proper toilet facilities in the Station. Only problem
is that Croydon Council have failed to work with the railway company so the
toilets remain shut.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In <a href="http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/Upper-Norwood-public-toilets-set-reopen/story-11368839-detail/story.html"><span style="color: blue;">another
campaign</span></a>, Councillor Pat Ryan raised awareness of public toilet provisions,
"There was also a problem with drug users and people loitering about and
intimidating others.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The news comes as Labour’s flagship Waddon candidate David
Christison is due to be sentenced at Croydon Magistrates' Court after secretly <a href="http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/local/topstories/11050722.Labour_party_secretary_suspended_after_secretly_filming_men_urinate_in_shopping_centre/"><span style="color: blue;">filming
men urinating in the Centrale shopping centre's toilets</span>.</a> David Christison was, until his suspension, one of the
Croydon Labour party’s leading political strategists, serving as Secretary of
West Thornton and leading the group’s campaign in Waddon where he hoped to
become a Councillor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is also a close personal friend of Labour Leader Tony
Newman who co-launched a campaign to overturn the Waddon election in the High
Court after Christison lost by 500 votes. It was subsequently revealed that
Christison, who is on benefits, used a legal loophole as a benefits claimant to
ensure the election petition was <a href="http://croydongazette.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/croydon-labour-waddon-david-christison.html"><span style="color: blue;">funded
entirely by taxpayers, to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds</span></a>. Tony
Newman was then photographed with Christison for the petition in the local
newspapers, the pair were dressed smartly in suits. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
But Labour will today be facing serious questions about how
a man like Christison was able to reach the core of the Labour Party and have
such influence over policy in his role in a Senior role as Secretary.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many see
the latest Labour scandal as part of a wider problem in the Labour Group, where
under the leadership of Tony Newman, <a href="http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/yoursay/letters/10769294.Dubious_choices_for_Labour_councillor_hopefuls_in_New_Addington/"><span style="color: blue;">some

Labour’s former candidate David Christison has pled guilty to <a href="http://www.croydonadvertiser.co.uk/Ex-Labour-candidate-secretly-filmed-men-shopping/story-20718192-detail/story.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">filming men going to the toilet on 30 occasions in Centrale shopping centre</span></a>, in Croydon town centre, between April 2011 and March 2013.<br />
<br />
Police were called to the shopping centre on April 28 last year by security guards who said Christison was in the public toilets covertly taking pictures and videoing other men urinating.<br />
<br />
He was pointed out to security staff by a member of the public, who had witnessed a man behaving strangely with his phone.<br />
<br />
When police came, his phone was checked and a video of another man urinating was found.<br />
<br />
The former Labour candidate will be sentenced on March 20 at Croydon Magistrates’ Court and his bail conditions remain that he is not able to use the public toilets within the Centrale Shopping Centre.<br />
<br />
In summer last year, Labour Leader Tony Newman replaced Mr Christison as the Waddon candidate with Andrew Pelling, who was <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1563667/Tory-MP-Andrew-Pelling-arrested-over-assault.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">arrested on suspicion of assaulting his pregnant wife</span></a>, but not charged. </div>

Hardworking people in New Addington, Addiscombe and Waddon

The move to save money for hardworking families in the
borough comes as Croydon Labour faced questions over a potential Council Tax
rise of 27% - a policy they implemented last time they were in charge of the
town hall. The Labour tax rise policy, which was implemented in single year,
left thousands of low paid workers over £150 a month worse off.<o:p></o:p></div>
