Brick Lane London E1 Area questions local councillor's role over Crossrail hole
28-01-2006 22:21
In July 2004, UK Transport Secretary Alistair Darling, MP, made a detailed speech in the House of Commons as a de facto promoter of the Crossrail project, now the Crossrail Bill. The Guardian newspaper did its loyal service to Tony Blair by assigning their 'ethnic' relations writer Hugh Muir to do a pro-Crossrail Bill. As a tokenistic concession to the local community that faces the most destruction from the crassly conceived Crossrail Bill, the Guardian included typically incoherent and contradictory bits in that piece. One bit was attributed to then Tower Hamlets Council leader - and over-hyped 'ethnic' achiver. Now that the Crossrail Question is the most politically topical one in the Constituency and around it, KHOODEELAAR publishes the long overdue questions that councillor Helal Abbas did not answer but must answer.Taste of Palestine event
