The cabal of Crossrail-hole-plan-Bill that controls the Blairite Tower Hamlets Council in London's East End is fast losing support in the community. Even the sleazy front outfit they conjured up top deflate KHOODEELAAR has been exposed by the very elements the Crossrail hole-ers encouraged. The community is now mobilising a robust demonstration against Tower Hamlets Crossrail-hole-Council on 1 March. Here are some key observations on how the agents of Crossrail hole interests are losing their grip on Tower Hamlets Council.

Crossrail hole Council in Tower Hamkest in desperate bid to cling on to power
Who conned UK Crossrail hole Bill Minister Alistair into making a secret, creepy trip to the Brick Lane area?
This question goes to the heart of the battle to defend the Brick Lane London E1 area against the Crossrail hole attacks. And against the Blairing cabal that has been in control of the key resources and the powers of the local Tower Hamlets Council as far as those have been applied in relation to the relevance of the Crossrail hole programme aimed at decimating the Brick Lane London e1 area and other parts of the ordinary Tower Hamlets.
It is that cabal of self-serving, reactionary, ultra-careerists that has defied local democracy, has practically disenfranchised the voice of the people on the formally elected Tower Hamlets Council
This is the question that is being publicly put to Alistair Darling by Khoodeelaar! The Brick Lane London E1 area campaign against the Crossrail hole.
This follows our coming across additional evidence of how the name and the remit of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council were again abused by the unaccountable cabal who wanted to keep pushing for the Crossrail hole plans at a secret meeting they staged for Alistair Darling to be seen in posed dialogues with the community.
Why?
Why was Alistair Darling in the area?
The answer includes the fact that only days before darling made the secret trip, khoodeelaar organiser mUHAMMAD haque disclosed evidence to a campaign against the crossrail hole meeting that showed that Alistair darling was involved in shielding the corrupt clique that is controlling the tower hamlets council. muhammad haque exclusively showed the meeting documentation that Darling’s department for transport (dft) had been engaged in undermining the rights of the local community in tower hamlets in London’s east end and in protecting the corrupt clique on the tower hamlets council which the government was using as an instrument to push through the crossrail hole plan in the area.
According to details KHOODEELAARonline gathered on Wednesday 15 February the secret Alistair Darling meeting was organised by the corrupt clique on Tower Hamlets council. That was to muddy the waters and to create a fake scenario suggesting that the Khoodeelaar movement against the Crossrail hole attack on the community is smaller than it is.
That strategy is a product of the corrupt clique on Tower Hamlets Council. That clique is desperate to cling on to power after the scheduled council elections in May 2006.
That they are desperate cannot be a secret though.
Every day evidence is emerging in the Brick Lane London E1 area of the meltdown occurring within the Blairing clique that controls the Tower Hamlets Council. In the past 25 months, Khoodeelaar has published evidence of the lies that that clique has been telling as part of the clique’s service to the Crossrail hole interest and against the interest of democracy and against the safety of the local community.
Three members of the current Tower Hamlets Council, all elected as Labour Party candidates, have referred to evidence of how anti-social, how anti-democratic the Blairing clique has been. They have promised to disclose further details of how corrupt and undemocratic the Tower Hamlets Council is. This they have said will be done nearer to the May 2006 polls for a new Council in Tower Hamlets. Some of these councillors are expected to stand as independents against their former Labour Party colleagues. "We are doing this to help the local community rid itself of the corrupt clique”, said a supporter of the three former Labour Party councillors
However, Khoodeelaar is NOT taken in by anything any member of the Blaired Tower Hamlets Council has to say. We have not heard anything yet that any of the reportedly rebellious former Labour Party councillors has any more commitment to the defence of the community than is applicable to the current Crossrail-hole-Council leader Michael Keith 'has'.

Montague bid triggers calls for open auction of rail link
By Barrie Clement, Transport Editor
Published: 16 February 2006
Fears have been raised about the appropriateness of allowing one of the Government's advisers, Sir Adrian Montague, to lead a bid for the company that runs the £5.2bn Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
Sir Adrian is generally regarded as the Chancellor's favourite private finance adviser and former consultant to the Treasury.
Any private bid for London & Continental Railways is likely to be controversial because of the billions of pounds backing it has received from the state, but yesterday opposition politicians and union leaders united to express particular concern about Sir Adrian's involvement, which emerged earlier this week. Apart from his close links with the Treasury, he is a former deputy chairman of the state-backed Network Rail and chairs the company co-owned by Transport for London and the Department for Transport which is developing the Crossrail project, the proposed east-west rail link across London.
The Secretary of State for Transport, Alistair Darling, who revealed on Tuesday that there had been an approach by an unnamed bidder, will have to give his consent to any change of ownership because of the degree to which the company depends on public money. It enjoys more than £3.75bn of bond finance under-written by the Treasury and £1.6bn of debt, which is in effect a state subsidy.
The company's present shareholders include Bechtel, the US construction group, and the City bank UBS, which each hold stakes of 22.5 per cent. National Express, the train and coach operator, has 20 per cent, while SNCF, the French state railway, and EDF, the electricity giant, have 13 per cent each.
Chris Grayling, the Tory transport spokesman, said of the bid, which will be financed by Goldman Sachs: "If the Government is going to take the decision to fully privatise the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, then they should make sure it is a proper open process, giving anybody who might be interested a chance to bid.
"What can't happen is the Government taking a decision to hand the route over to a consortium which has got very direct personal links with ministers."
Tom Brake, the Liberal Democrat transport spokesman, said: "He's very close to the Government and it is essential therefore that effective Chinese walls are in place to safeguard the Government's financial interests in London & Continental.
"This has not got off to a good start with Darling's written statement referring opaquely to a third-party approach which it was subsequently revealed was an approach by Sir Adrian."
Bob Crow, the leader of RMT, the industry's largest union, said:"The last thing we need to see is yet more public money ending up subsidising the profits of the Government's big-business mates. If the proposed buyout does not include provision for repaying every penny of the £3.7bn of public money shoring the company up we will be entitled to ask what is going on. The closeness of Adrian Montague to the Government has raised fears that this is in effect already a done deal."
Sir Adrian declined to comment, but he is known to believe that the announcement by Mr Darling opened the way for any other bidder. It is understood talks are at an early stage and that no offer has yet been tabled.
Keith Norman, the general secretary of the train drivers' union Aslef, said: "If ministers are determined to sell the company, this looks like a dubious option for the public."
Concern has also been expressed about the involvement of James Warldaw as a key player in Sir Adrian's bid team. He was an adviser at the Treasury until last May. The Treasury denied there was a conflict of interest in either case. Mr Warldaw had followed Cabinet Office advice to the letter. Sir Adrian no longer had a formal role at the Treasury having left the Private Finance Initiative taskforce more than five years ago.
