Brick Lane London E1 Area questions local councillor's role over Crossrail hole

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.

Harmondsworth Support Network in Action

Over the last few days, I got a few emails about the events in Harmondsworth. You probably know the facts - Bereket Yohannes from Eritrea was found hanged at Harmondsworth detention center, the other detainees were very distressed, had a meeting the next day, refused to take food, wrote a statement. Now many of them are put in solitary confinement or sent to other detention centers as "troublemakers".
