The alleged defiance of Goldman Sachs' cash offer by the East London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council, being ignorantly reported in the media today [Wednesday 20 June 2007] conceals the truth of the same Council’s long and rising collusion with really harmful Big Business interests including with Goldman Sachs…

What is worse is the headline put on the early editions of the London EVENUING STANDARD front-page saying that Tower Hamlets is the most deprived borough…
As if the Council’s being the ‘most deprived’ means that it should readily swallow the brazen Goldman Sachs bribe and experimental cash offer…and do away ceremonially with whatever tiny bits of pretensions it still has to being the ‘locally elected council’”!
The truth is that the same ' the most deprived' Tower Hamlets Council is engaged right now [as at Wednesday 20 June 2007] in implementing and going ahead with the very same process of dislocating and disrupting the local community and that the media is implying the Council to be ‘defying’.
The biggest and the most brazen of these is the Crossrail hole plot.
There is continuing opposition to the Council’s collusion with Big Business Crossrail hole plotters.
There is a demonstration against the Tower Hamlets Council over its collusion with Crossrail hole plotters,
At 7 PM tonight [Wednesday 20 June 2007]

What on earth is your problem with Crossrail, other that being a nimby.
Don't tell me to go to your website, I don't need any jean or underwear. Its also a vauge and characteristicly poor. I do enjoy you legal disclaimer;
"KHOODEELAAR! Legal notice at 0940 Hrs GMT on Wednesday 11 October 2006:
No person, faction, group or grouping has the authority of the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against Crossrail to make any private deal/s or arrangement/s in the name of or on behalf of Khoodeelaar! Khoodeelaar! organisation is an entirely voluntary, non-profit education, information, research CAMPAIGN founded in 2004 to defend the East End of London against Crossrail and against all the associated violations of the rights of the community in the East End of London."
Information, research?? You must be kidding!

Does M Haque know what an academy is?

Laughed out loud when I read the latest M Haque posting.
So, Tower Hamlets rejects pressure from Goldman Sachs, and the offer of £2 million, to set up an academy. I think that's an excellent decision and one more councils should follow - why should private businesses get to have such a say in the running of schools for £2 million, when a further £25 million or so is coming from the tax-payer? There's been a huge amount of pressure on local authorities because academies have been Blair's flagship scheme, and have now been taken up by Gordon Brown.
If we're going to be generous, that incident suggests that Tower Hamlets may not be:a) always in the pocket of big business; or b) lackeys of the Blairite government. I'm not suggesting this isn't still the case - but the academies incident is one M Haque should be quiet about, rather than promoting, as it totally undermines his usual conspiracy theory. He just seems too dumb to notice the contradiction.
PS. Interested in the note by a previous poster that Crossrail is purely designed to help hyperglobalists get to Heathrow. Is there any evidence on this? Not saying it's wrong - but as someone working in east London it seems to me that all the hyperglobalists live in big pads over in west London, and they've already got the much faster Heathrow Express for that. Or they'll use chauffeured cars or taxis rather than public transport.
