How English inner city councils are causing poverty and destitution in 2006

Gordon Brown's hype of 'Islamic banking' and his claim that he is Islamic-banking-friendly, should be seen in context: Most of today’s inner city poor need not be in poverty. They are being pushed into poverty by Labour councils in the main. Most of the poor in East London are Muslim. So is there a problem of connection here? Read more >>

Lessons of the Forest Gate anti-terror raid

The freeing of two innocent men arrested in the June 2 police raid in Forest Gate, London underscores the dubious character of all of the claims made by the government, the police and security services in pursuit of the “war on terror.”

Some 250 police officers were mobilised for the dawn raid on the poor immigrant neighbourhood in east London. Two houses were targeted based on intelligence that they were the location for a chemical bomb factory run by two brothers, Mohammed Abdul Kahar and Abdul Koyair. Read more >>

Khoodeelaar! campiagn against Crossrail hole Tower Hamlets Council

As the House of Commons 'Select committee' on the 'Crossrail Bill' hears formal presentation of objections from several individuals and local groups in the Brick Lane and Whitechapel area in the Portcullis House, in Westminster, London SW1starting at 1000 Hrs [0900 GMT] today [13 June 2006], the Khoodeelaar! Campaign is gearing up its pressure on the 'new' Tower Hamlets Council, which has been the single most culpable 'democratic entity' that has touted against the local community and has brought upon the Eats End the massive threat of the Crsosrail attacks. The only democratic and constitutional defence of the community should have been a democratically elected body, the local council! Instead, it is the grassroots community based Khoodeelaar! That has had to be established to defend the community against the treachery and betrayal of the Blaired local council! The battle continues! Read more >>

Khoodeelaar! demand on Tower Hamlets Coucnil to PASS No to Xrail

The future of the East End as a community is under threat from Crossrail plan Bill. The local Tower Hamlets Council has so far been used as tool to suppress the very people in whose name that Coucnil exists.

Tower |Hamlets Council controlling clique has spent public money to perpetrate and to promote Crossrail -hole-backing lies in its propaganda title 'East End Lies' for Crossrail . If the Crossrail Bill is passed, they can do anything to destroy the community.

Make people homeless, drive small shop keepers out of their trade and make the East End a wasteland before Big Business takes over the area.

The Crossrail Bill is now being formally ‘scrutinised’ in relation to the formal petitions lodged by some of the local individuals and organisations to parts of its provisions. One of the petitioners has been the local Tower Hamlets Council.

Its chief employee fronting the Council’s side in all contacts with Crossrail has been Owen Whalley.

He gave verbal clarifications before the House of Commons committee on 7 June 2006. It was clear that he was not disclosing most of the facts of what they talked about with Crossrail .

Yet today’s edition of the Council’s ‘East End life’ [‘dubbed EAST END LIES as examined by the Khoodeelaar! Campaign] paints the Coucnil as having ‘obtained' good deals for the community fromCrossrail and presents Crossrail as not only a 'beneficial' project for the alleged regeneration of the East End but one with which the community is happy!

That pack of lies has been splashed on the front of the ‘east End Lies’ and stuffed on two centre pages.

Most of the people in the Borough are totally unaware of the manifold leis that they have been being told.

Khoodeelaar! Is formally demanding a full space in next edition failing which they ill take the Editor of East End Life to court.

Khoodeelaar! Is also delivering a draft motion for the full Coucnil Meeting scheduled for 21 June 2006 asking all the sitting Councillors to support an unequivocal motion of NO to Crossrail hole Bill.
