Triumph of Blairism! Not in the Crassrail holed East End of London !

The Blaired news media led all day yesterday with the alleged prescription for a 'Blairing departure' by the man whom today’s [Wednesday 6 September 2006] Guardian has raised to the highest level of praise possible. Triumph of Blairism. What is the commodity? Where is it to be found? Certainly not in the East End of London whence Blair has now recruited THREE tokens and tools of propaganda, as if to compensate for the ouster of Oona King from her over-Blaired seat in Bethnal Green and Bow. The Crossrail hole plot has been endorsed by Alan Meale who obstructed evidence being given to the Crossrail Select committee [June 2006] that would have exposed crucial defects and the fundamental flaws in the sham CRASSRAIL project. So how is Blairism seen to those fighting the oppressive Blair schemes down in the East End? Read more >>

Khoodeelaar! Open Letter to local MP George Galloway about Crossrail

The Khoodeelaar! campaign in defence of the East End against Crossrail hole Bill attacks was the first and the ONLY independent local campaign [or grouping] in the area to stand up for George Galloway in public when Galloway was being politically assaulted by the Blairing brigade over his absence away in January 2006. In the past 8 months, the Crsosrail hole Bill has been given undue backing by a committee of MPs which has been targeted as a poodles committee. Khoodeelaar! is now wanting to know what, if any, position George Galloway has on the subject of the role of the Select Committee so far and what he has said to oppose the Crossrail hole plot after the announcement on 25 July 2006 that the poodles committee was backing the CRASSRAIL hole plot on the East End Read more >>
