DEFEND BRICK LANE AREA COMMUNITY by kicking out present clique of councillors

LONDON DEMOCRACY | 14.12.2005 21:01 | Ecology | Social Struggles | London | World

The Crossrail hole Bill must be defeated and the local community defended. the most important ay to do so is by throwing out the unrepresentative councillors who form the clique on Tower Hamlets Council now. That clique has colluded to bring about the Crossrail hole attack upon the community in the Brick Lane London E1 Area

WE SUPPORT THE BRICK LANE LONDON E1 Community campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill.

Just for the record, we noted in this week's edition of the 'Newham Recorder' (mystifyingly called Tower Hamlets Recorder') circulated in the East End of London today 14 Dec 2005, carry a 'letter' saying that there should be a 'debate' on Crossrail.

The 'letter' seems to be from the same campaign (Brick Lane London E1 Area Against Crossrail hole Bill) . We don't agree that there should be a debate.

The time for debate is over.

They (the promoters of the Crossrail hole Bill) have got the Bill already past the Second Reading. We must use all our energies now to force the Tower Hamlets Council to withdraw that collectively-stated Tower Hamlets backing for Crossrail hole Bill.

Here is what we have told the 'Tower Hamlets Recorder' today 14 December 2005

No need for debate- Get Keith off the Council.

Sink the Crossrail hole ploy now.

There is no need for any 'debate' with Tower Hamlets Councillor Michael Keith at all.

There is no time for any debate either.
Had there been a 'debate' that would have best taken place in 2003.

Sometime before June 2003 when Michael Keith began his public lobbying for the Crossrail scheme.

People need to realise that far from being a mere local councillor on Tower Hamlets Council, Michael Keith has behaved as a pro-active agent for the big business interests that have the most to gain if a Crossrail plan is approved in its present Bill form in the UK Parliament.

The most important task in the next few months is to establish the ground to get Michael Keith off Tower Hamlets Council and get the rest of his colluders for Crossrail thrown out of the Tower Hamlets Council.

Then build a democratic and accountable Council. No, not a stunt one with George Galloway either.

Build a council in Tower Hamlets with local people being able to have our say on actual decisions that are seen to be being made by taking account of what local people say. With what local people need locally. On all aspects of life,.

Neither the Tories nor the Lib Dems are up to the job either.

Hard times. Hard tasks. Hard work.

But the results of hard work will be equally exciting.

The community will be defended.

Let us organise the people and make a peoples' manifesto come to the fore now.

Before the parties and their cohorts get away with foolish vote-grabbing promises.
