East End of London points the way to Blair to save any remaining 'honour'

Just as the London Metropolitan Police were fielding [on Tuesday 30 January 2007] of the huge media questions over the latest arrest Blair-peer Levy in connection with the cash for sleaze system that keeps some in the UK Parliament’s upper chamber the so-called House of Pee-ers, a deputation of people from probably the poorest, the most deprived part of inner city England, arrived at No 10 Downing Street. The deputation delivered a hand written letter giving Blair probably the most valuable and crucial advice anyone had ever given him whilst he was still in occupation of the post that is identified with that address, to save his fast disappearing legacy.


Khoodeelaar! update on Blair's legacy - scrap Xrail, scrap poverty, scrap denial

The deputation backed the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill, one of literally hundreds that have been introduced into the system since Blair entered No. 10 Downing Street just under 10 years ago.

The campaigners told Blair top scrap the Crsosrail hole Bill. It is callous. It is irresponsibly drafted. It is full of holes. And it is fundamentally flawed.


The Khoodeelaar! Memo to Tony Blair from the East End of London said that there was no economic sense in the CrossRail hole Bill.

They said that there was no moral sense and there was no ethical sense.

Blair would do well to scrap the callous Crossrail Bill and probably save his fast disappearing legacy from total extinction.


If Blair leaves behind the heap of attacks on the already socially, economically and democratically disenfranchised then there would be no question of any legacy behind associated with his regime and time in power. \There will bed calamity and catastrope and crime writ all over his name and his records.

As the campaigners against the Crossrail hole attacks on the East End of |London hold a series of events across the East End today Wednesday 31 January 2007 observe the 3rd anniversary of the foundation of the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill, Blair and his ‘advisers’ will do worse than to pay close heed to the advice from the East End campaigners.

east enders look out of work so they don't need another rail line surely

On most days in my travels around the east end, people I see on the bus who are local, look mostly out of work. So they don't need crossrail.

Question is - who is saying that eastenders will benefit from crossrail?

the local hospital, the former london hospital renamed by the nhs bringing in a royal link, is not as accessible to the local people as it is to some who are from outside.

Is this a solitary observation? Definitely not.

So who needs a Crossrail station on top of the existing Whitechapel station?

Not the local users of the London hospital at Whitechapel.

So who is cooking this thing up that there is a need for another rail station at Whitechapel?

They are bonkers.

Give the money to the local needs - health, housing and schooling.

I can't believe that with so much poverty around, they could be talking about giving away £billions of public cash to the big rich companies. They will only steal the lot and we won't be any the wiser

So i say it as well - scrap the crossrail thing, Mr Blair. Before you can't scrap anything the rate at which your agents are getting nicked !
