Khoodeelaar! tells local MP George Galloway to stand up to Crossrail

Khoodeelaar! calls on local MP George Galloway to stand up to Crossrail ..


The Big Business or the UK equivalent of the MIC that runs the agenda via the
Blair tutelage is furiously spinning the lie that without Crossrail, the whole UK economy would be collapsing. The Blairist soft-peddlers for Big Business, the Guardian has been prompting Crossrail-backer City of London man Michael Snyder in terms that leave no room for any audit of Blair regime's opening of the public purse for grabbing by the looters. The debate being plotted next week to further boost Crossrail must be seen for what it is - a desperate bid by Big Business to sabotage what remains of the formal scrutiny of Bills by parliament. The so-called Crossrail Bill Select committee, currently sitting, ha snot yet heard even 1 percent of the available evidence showing how Crassly conceived the CrossRail plot is...The mooted 'debate' next week is set to kill off the remainder of the 'life' or use of the 'Select Committee' concerned..

To

George Galloway MP


1. Dear Mr Galloway


2. We are putting these questions to you as open questions, in that we are no longer sending these to you only by direct email as you have not been answering the communications sent to you mainly after the 4 May 2006 local council elections. What we are doing is sending you the e-mails and also publishing what we are sending to you. Just in case there is any lag between our transmissions and your actually getting access to them. Time is so very important.

3. We have however not forgotten the fact that you are apparently maintaining a very busy schedule, even though you have appeared to not say anything against CrossRail since you appeared before the Crossrail Bill select committee in the House of Commons in June 2006.

4. We recall the several occasions in the past, especially around the time of your stay as a guest of the Channel 4 programme 'Big Brother' when the Blair party had organised a very high-profile propaganda campaign against you, saying that you had let the constituency ['Bethnal Green and Bow'] down and they were saying that you had let the constituency down by not being in the constituency or in the House of Commons when the matter of Crossrail was being discussed in the House of Commons.

5. We also recall the fact that it was on that occasion that Khoodeelaar! decided to speak out and in defence of you.

6. In fact it has been this Campaign , no other anywhere in the UK, that has made a very detailed and substantive contribution on the world wide web and elsewhere that showed you in a positive light and argued for your constitutional rights [as concerned at that time and in that context] as the current elected MP.

7. It seems that you have not appeared to show any recognition to that fact in your public statements - except a number which you made in the presence of campaigning members of the of Khoodeelaar! movement.

8. We note that there is a new lobbying pressure by Big Business to have the CrossRail hole Bill promoted as being - as Michael Keith was quoted as saying in 2003 in his then promotional letter published as a paid-for advertisement in the London Evening Standard [June 2003] addressed to Tony Blair - utterly essential for the very survival of the UK economy and words to that effect!. Have you noted the same as we have done and if so, what steps have you taken so far to oppose that pressure?

9. It is reported that a debate FOR CrossRail is being hurriedly arranged to take place in the UK parliament next week.

10. We are therefore asking you to let us know in the constituency what you know about that

11. Whether you have done the necessary research into the current state of CrossRail hole threat to the Constituency

12. Whether you have actually tried to learn about the local community's current position on this

13. Whether you are planning - as we have asked you in the past to do - to put an early day Motion against CRASSrail and if you have in fact drafted a Motion along the liens we have been suggesting to you over the past 10 months

14. Whether you recognise -as you did on 10 April 2006 - that the Khoodeelaar! campaign is the strategic vital campaign which is one of the two most successful campaigns in defence of the East End [the other one you mentioned was the campaign to stop Council House transfer] and if so, what steps you are taking to get involved again with the Khoodeelaar movement to defend the East End

15. Whether you have seen the blatant collusion by the current controlling clique on tower Hamlets Council with CRASSrail in whose favour they have again withdrawn their latest bogus objections

16. Whether you are going to be available to take part in the next series of Khoodeelaar campaign events

17. Whether you had not received the invite that we did send to you to attend our Iftaar meeting

18. Whether you are going to come and support the next four demonstrations that we are organising in the lead up to what we consider will be one of the most lengthy series of court battles by us to stop the Crossrail hole attacks being carried out against our community in the East End



With Best wishes

The Khoodeelaar! Campaign in defence of the East End generally and against the CrossRail hole assaults on the East End in particular
The Brick Lane and Whitechapel London E1 Area campaign against the CRASSrail hole Bill
