Tower Hamlets Council 'leader' must stop peddling CrossRail hole plot
12-12-2007 13:16
Ken Livingstone seems to fly en waves if fantasy. As he did earlier this week while soaking up more media attention than he craves and is usually given. He made all manner of boasts about the dockland light railway [=’DLR’] station at Langdon Park in [the poplar area] in the east end of London. A particular Livingstone propaganda boast was that the dlr station was guaranteed to make the ‘deprived locals’ get out of the rut. This same theme has been Livingstone’s mainstay in his peddling of CrossRail hole plot against the same east end of London.Livingstone should know that he is telling a serious untruth when he makes this claim.
How?
Because he has parroted the City of London, Canary Wharf and Big business agenda phrases word fur word in ‘justification’ of his creeping touting for ‘CrossRail’ to be given the £Billons of public money...
All these over - hyped ‘transport’ links are products of plans and strategies that are decided by speculators, developers and those big business elements and forces that want to capture the ‘deprived’ east end and adjoining parts and make the areas eventually free of local people and communities. Just as the CrossRail hole plot is a product of Big Business agenda to link up the various Big Business exploitation centres. This has nothing whatever to do with the local East End people our needs our demands.
My latest questions sent in the past hour to the ‘current leader’ of the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council makes the point very clear.

Africans United In Rejecting European Arrogance
12-12-2007 09:45
The recent summit between African heads of states and the EU has shown that some Europe has failed to move beyond their colonial-era past-times of economic and political bullying. The African delegates gave Europe an unmistakable cold shoulder on the two big issues of the conference: trade, especially the European proposed Economic Partnership Agreements, and European political interference in African affairs, centered on British arrogance towards Zimbabwe.DESO Scrapped and Replaced by DESO

12-12-2007 00:56
The largest threat to the region doesn't come from Iran: it comes from Israel's success in having had the US "neutralize" countries which it believes to be an existential threat to it's existence.However, there's just one little problem with this approach concerning Iran.
Russia's diplomats have stated unequivocally that any attack against Iran will be perceived as an attack on Russia.
Well, that, and the fact that none but a small Fringe in America supports the Extremists in DC.
