Crossrail 'bias' of 'East London Advertiser' causing undermining local people

20-02-2006 12:38

The political struggle to defend the community across the East End borough of Tower Hamlets, starting with the Brick Lane London E1 area and taking in and stretching through Stepney, Mile End Park and Bow, is jotting up in a way that ahs not been seen in the East End for a very long time. In fact the role of the local Tower Hamlets council is increasingly coming under serious scrutiny from local campaigners headed by the khoodeelaar movement. The resulting pressure that the Borough has been undergoing has not been known since Tower Hamlets was created in the 1960s replacing and amalgamating the former smaller boroughs of Stepney, Bethnal Green, Poplar, plus. Yet the ‘local weekly’ the ‘East London Advertiser’ is not willing to reflect the political battler. It is only ever interested in serving as a secondary propaganda rag for the CrossRail-backing ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council. This is depriving the local community the access to the facts that the local paper must provide if it is to escape being consigned to the dustbin by the sheer power of community action against CrossRail in the East End.

How Tower Hamlets Council is wasting precious cash to shield Crossrail

20-02-2006 10:50

London's East End Borough of Tower Hamlets is witnessing a unique political confrontation between large parts of the constituency and the Council over Crossrail. The contents of the hybrid Crossrail Bill now in the UK House of Commons is at the centre of the dispute that has already caused serious political repercussions in the area. The Khoodeelaar! Campaign against Crossrail hole has been mobilising support against the Council in an unprecedented way.
The community is opposing Crossrail plans. Including the dubious 'need' argued by Tower Hamlets Council for aCrossrail station at Whitechapel. Campaigners are set to publish later today [Monday 20 February 2006] legal grounds for a High Court action against the Council.

If your MP has not signed EDM 1088 yet, they are not doing their job properly. Remind them what a pen is. The era of politics as a celebrity pantomime is over. Tell them, over and over and over and over again, until their name is on that piece of paper. The only exception is Tony Blair MP. If you live in Sedgefield and didn't vote for Reg Keys, you deserve all the tyranny you get.

Jewish conspiracy in London

19-02-2006 21:52

From the 1890s until the First World War a group of renegade Jews were active in the heart of the Yiddish East End. The Jewish anarchists opposed hierarchy, imperialism and the state, and also defined themselves against the Jewish establishment, holding Yom Kippur balls, featuring pork, music and dancing. They even had their own newspaper the Arbeter Fraint, until the Jewish establishment closed it down. This radical tradition has remained dormant for almost one hundred years, as Anglo-Jewry has become increasingly suburban, conservative and dull. Until now.

Innocent people might lose their lives
Ultimately the old order will lose the battle to preserve their privileged way of life, based on all prevailing scarcity, pseudo-democracy, and the rule of law.
