Dalston Theatre court case- freedom of expression? hmmm
14-03-2006 02:06
The occupants of the buildings alongside Dalston Theatre, 4-14 Dalston Lane E9, went to Shoreditch Court this Monday morning. With very little hope for a decision which would allow them to bide more time before the plans go ahead for the demolition of the theatre, the occupants decided the best approach was to make their own voices, along with the people of Hackney that have been supporting the occupation continuously, heard in the most honest and direct way possible.Unfortunately, much time was taken up by the statement of the other defendent, and the judge did not allow time for the statement below to be read.

13-03-2006 16:11
The sinking of the cabinet career of Blairist UK Education Secretary Ruth Kelly is being given an extra push today with the announcement that Home Office minister Tony McNulty's wife, Christine Gilbert is to be given huge publicity via the Tessa-Jowell-compliant BBC [and to be paid related bonuses from the public purse] as a way out for Gilbert from the East End Council [Tower Hamlets] which she [Gilbert] has helped to get embroiled in the Crossrail hole mess over the past 3 years. Just how competent is Gilbert to delivery even a fraction of the goodies on education that Kelly is claiming she will be able to do? One organisation, CBRUK which foudned Khoodeelaar! in 2004 to defend the Brick Lane London E1 area against Christine’s Crossrail assault plan knows a few things about the disaster on the ground that Tower Hamlets Council ahs been causing to ordinary people. And to standards and ethics in public life. Here are extracts from CBRUK Chair Muhammad Haque’s comments on Christine Gilbert, first published on the internet on Sunday 25 July 2004George Fox Six Case Moved to PRESTON - Solidarity needed

No to Crossrail news conference, to change East End Council on 4 May elections
13-03-2006 12:20
The Crossrail hole Bill [The Crossrail Bill – UK House of Commons, March 2006] contains so many powers that if they are passed into UK Law they will be sued to destroy some of London’s most important communities. Social cohesion, community cohesion, tolerance, multi-faith and inner cities regeneration are phrases that feature very frequently in the vacuous vocabulary of the UK regime associated with the name and the images of Tony Blair who is blindly followed by the clique that has been in control of the East End Tower Hamlets Council. The Khoodeelaar campaign defending the East End against that Crossrail-hole-colluding Council is set to announce an electoral programme at the news conference in Brick lane at 1400 Hrs GMT on Tuesday 14 March 2006The forthcoming 4 May elections will be fought on Crossrail in the eats End and that will change the composition of the East End council with far wider ramifications than usually is the case with ‘local’ issues.wasteland - squatting documentary now online
