How Tower Hamlets Council controlling clique has been lying to the community, to “the Secretary of State” to the ‘mainstream’ media, to the local press in East London and via the “ethnic language” press and via the “ethnicity”-linked satellite TV outlets
For Crossrail hole deal “petition” to the rest of the public and the world.

This is the first time that Khoodeelaar! is publishing the chapter and verse exposition of the PETITION lies that the controlling clique – ‘the leadership’ – of the present Tower Hamlets Council has been telling about its so-called recognition of what the community wants – No Crossrail hole.

As the Crossrail hole Bill itself is a quite complicated piece of technical and conceptual contradictions so are the majority of the ‘formally submitted’ petitions about the contents of the Crossrail Bill.

And the formally couched petition ‘against’ the “Crossrail Bill” as submitted by the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets council in September 2005 is no exception.

Which means that there are words, phrases in it that would not occur in ordinary discourse or communications or statements.

But that is a very common feature present in almost every single one of the 364 other petitions that have been also submitted ‘against’ the Crossrail Bill to the UK Parliament by various other persons, interests and parties concerned.

What is unique about the ‘hole petition’ as submitted in the name of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council is that it is riddled with the type of lies that we have shown Michael Keith has been capable of telling about the Crossrail hole plan and about his role in peddling and touting for the Crossrail hole plan at least since June 2003.

For those who have not examined the banality of the Michael Keith ‘speech-making’ in this context or have not had access to the results of the independent Khoodeelaar! dissection of Michael Keith’s very bizarre and very irrational ‘language’ , we are starting the comprehensive analysis of his role and of the contents of that Crossrail hole petition here.

It is Michael Keith who has played a key [NOT the only key] role as a strategically placed tout on Tower Hamlets Council for the Crossrail hole plan assault on the people of the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

If there has been any other ‘single’ councillor who has aided or abetted him in this way then that can only be the council leader Helal Uddin Abbas who was in the post of leader until his overthrow in May 2005.

Between the two of them, Helal Uddin Abbas and Michael Keith have participated in the promotion of the Crossrail hole plan in the local community in the East End of London in a most intriguingly brazen and irrational way.

They were told by Khoodeelaar! very clearly in early 2004 that what they had done upto then must stop and must not be repeated at all.

They were written to first by CBRUK – the Committee for Bangladeshis’ Rights in the UK [which supports Khoodeelaar!] and asked to explain what they had done in promoting Crossrail upto that time [January-March 2004]. They failed to explain any of their conduct.

The CBRUK questionnaires and constitutional communications were soon followed up by Khoodeelaar!

Then it was noted that Helal Uddin Abbas had been a so-signatory to what must have been a Ken Livingstone confection for Crossrail that also appeared in the print editions of the London EVENING STANDARD.

CBRUK immediately identified the source and asked Christine Gilbert, as the chief Officer of the Tower Hamlets Council, to explain why that signature had been added to the Crossrail hole plan promotion letter.

Christine Gilbert was also asked an additional 20 questions by March 2004 about her legal role in advising the councillors on what they should or not have said and done in promoting the Crossrail assault plan against the Eats End of London community,
