Beep if U luv Brian

Almost a week has passed since the courts found the Brian Haw protest to be illegal after all; yet Brian and- today - forty or fifty supporters are still very present in Parliament Square.

Add the constant beeping of passing motorists, responding to the new "Beep for Brian" sign, and it's pretty clear that the level of support and the focus of publicity is making it difficult for police to enforce the judgement. Read more >>

Khoodeelaar! No to Crsosrail shows the way for democracy in the East End

While George Galloway the 'local MP' for Bethnal Green and Bow was celebrating the Respect party candidates’ elections to Tower Hamlets Council on 4 ay 2006 or in arguing against 'foreign' media barons controlling the media in Britain, the main defence of the community against a corrupt ‘new’ Tower Hamlets Council was left to Khoodeelaar! to demonstrate about. Khoodeelaar!

Khoodeelaar! warns new Crossrail minister Douglas Alexander -

Khoodeelaar! The Brick Lane London E1 area campaign against Crossrail hole Bill is already reissuing its legal claims against the New Crossrail hole Minister. This is due to the fact that it personally named Alsiuart Darling in its rpervious legal action claims papers and documents. Today's London EVENING STANDARD comments at page 12 that Crossrail is the new Transport Secretary's challenge. It makes another touting, illogical and uneconomic plug for CrossRail and concludes by saying that Crossrail has become a test for Gordon Brown 'as a future Prime Minister' and it is a test for the new Transport Secretary. What the EVENING STANDARD does not say is that it has acted as a touting outfit for the Big Business interests who want to pocket £Billions of public cash under cover of Crossrail. There is no economic case for the Crassrail plan as it is and the best thing that Alexander can do is to scrap it now. Not get mired in the CrossRail Read more >>
