Bow West Says No tonight to Crossrail attacks plan on the East End

The battle for the public ownership of community resource is taking place across the UK along side the battle against huge diversion of the resource to war and propaganda. Nowhere more consistently than in the East End of London. Quite appropriate, Bethnal Green and Bow MPO George Galloway is involved in the battle as much as any UK Parliamentary constituency Member of Parliament [MP] is ever seen to be. Galloway is due to support tonight’s Bow West campaign meeting against Crossrail attacks on the East End. Speakers include Carole Swords who has been harassed by the present Tower Hamkest Council for her defence of the community. Khoodeelaar! is backing the Bow West meeting. Read more >>

Crossrail hole Bill thretens more than East End of London-democracy too

The threat posed to the East End of London by the UK Hosue of Commons draft piece of legislation, the CROSSRAIL Bill, goes beyond the planned destruction of entire communities and neighbourhoods. It also includes the destruction of what remains of local democracy, and the electors say on what is done in their name by their own 'locally elected council'. The Khoodeelaar! Campaign has just finalised the first comprehensive report on the role of those councillors who have held key posts in Tower Hamlets Council. They have acted as touts and as agents for Crossrail hole plan. Just as nominations for council elections begin to be finalised for the scheduled May 4 local elections, the findings of the Khoodeelaar! Investigation into Tower Hamlets Council make fascinating reading for all concerned with the defence of democracy in Britain. Read more >>

Who is 'Tessa Jowelling' the East End for Crossrail hole attacks then ?

Who is doing a Tessa Jowell on the East End of |London, then? It must be Tower Hamlets Council, without a doubt. But who is the Tony Blair minister that could be linked with that sort of deed, too close for comfort, sort of thing? Come forward Tony McNulty! And George Galloway is watching you this time! For sure! The hybrid Crossrail Bill [UK House of Commons] is still draft piece of legislation. But it may soon get passed into the UK statute Book and the powers it contains may soon begin to be applied to destroy communities including in the East End of London. This is bigger than any environmental disaster that ahs been planned and carried out on any part of London by any UK Government. That it is that massive can be seen in the very close involvement of many of Tony Blair’s ministers with key pushers of the Crossrail hole Bill attacks on the East End. Tony McNulty, now a Home Office Minister, is one such very closely involved. There are huge constitutional implications apart from the daily Khoodeelaar! chronicles of the social, the economic and the environmental ones. Read more >>

Crossrail-hole-Minister Alistair Darling's ‘plea’ to Khoodeelaar!

UK Transport Secretary Alistair Darling MP has had his Department for Transport [DfT] write to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign in the East End of London against the Crassrail hole Bill as part of a strategy to salvage the careers of the controlling Blairite Tower Hamlets Council. Khoodeelaar! held another powerful demonstration against that Council on Wednesday 1 March 2006.

The 1 March 2006 Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Council demo was supported by RESPECT coalition MP George Galloway and by the main Opposition on Tower Hamlets Council, the Liberal Democrats. At the Council meeting that followed the same evening, Lib Dem councillor Louise Alexander sought to have Tower Hamlets show recognition to the community and to identify with the community in opposing the Crassrail hole plan attacks Bill.

The controlling clique failed to recognize the momentous importance of the motion and they even jeered at Councillor Alexander part of the time that she was presenting her arguments in support of the motion.

The only other non-Lib Dem councillor who supporter Louise Alexander was the RESPECT councillor Oliur Rahman

In his speech at the Khoodeelaar! demonstration earlier in the evening, Oliur Rahman described the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council as crooks and vowed to do everything he and his colleagues could do to remove them from office at the scheduled 4 May 2006 council elections.
