Since coming into office the so called mayor of London, Red Ken Livingstone has treated the population of London like second-class citizens, unless like the moslems they are useful for Ken's own ends.
New Labour were well aware of Ken and his links to this group and his other political view and yet they welcomed him back into the fold, after he had formerly been an "independent" and he gained his second term in office.
According to a report in The Times Online, allegations have been made by the mayor's Senior Advisor on Asian Issues, Atma Singh, that his most senior aides have been members of a Trotskyite faction that plotted to turn London into a “socialist city state”.
What is more that staff campaigned for Red Ken at a time when he was supposed to be electioneering and not calling him mayor of London, yet staff were encouraged/coerced to do political work for Red Ken.
The hidden lives of the mayor’s aides are revealed by Atma Singh, who until recently was the mayor’s senior adviser on Asian issues. Singh claims Simon Fletcher, Livingstone’s £100,000-a-year chief of staff, John Ross, the economic adviser, and Redmond O’Neill, the deputy chief of staff, as well as Mark Watts, the green adviser, and Jude Woodward, the culture adviser, were all members of Socialist Action.
Singh said: “Socialist Action believed themselves to be the inheritors of the Fourth International - an International Marxist Group seen as the true inheritors of Trotsky’s political vision. They believed that Britain needed a workers’ revolution.”
After the 2000 election, members of Socialist Action were rewarded with well-paid jobs in City Hall. Singh said: “The Socialist Action meetings continued while advisers were in office, until at least 2001 - that’s the last one I attended. Members discussed everything from politics in the Balkans to whether the congestion charge in London should be set at £6 or £5.”
But as well as debating routine policy issues, the aides dreamt of creating a socialist state. “They regularly returned to the theme of ‘bourgeois democratic revolution’: essentially, that London should be a city state and a beacon for socialism. They saw themselves as holders of political power in London.”
The London officials named by Singh have all refused to say whether they are still members of Socialist Action. One, Mark Watts, told Dispatches that to ask about his political affiliations was a witch-hunt.
A spokeswoman for the authority refused to comment on Socialist Action but said: “Atma Singh was removed from his job in the GLA for failure to discharge his duties, most seriously in failures to meet requests for assistance from the Metropolitan police antiterrorism unit in early 2005 and to contact the GLA during the terrorist attacks on London on 7 and 21 July. This person is an embittered ex-employee.”
