How Tower Hamlets Council is wasting precious cash to shield Crossrail

I'm amazed at how much you post news of anything to do with your campaign on Indymedia. I hope you're equally busy getting info out locally in other formats.

You should check out what proportion of the newswire you manage to take compared to all the other campaigns and actions people are involved with.

This does not mean I'm not in solidarity with you and what you're doing - only I'm not in London (some people aren't, you know!), I'm busy with 101 other things, and frankly, I'm not that interested, though I understand how dodgy and devastating it might be where you live. So maybe a little less please? You could do a fortnightly digest (unless of course it was actually an action which you'd want to post straight away). Perhaps?

Thank you for your comment but we are left with no option but to keep all the people that we can reach aware of what is going on. Our very survival as a community is at stake here. Unlike Crossrail promoters who have been given hundreds of £millions of public cash to promote their project at the expense of the people, we are doing this as an entirely voluntary action to defend our community. We do not seek nor foresee nor expect to receive any benefits in any material way for this work. We do what we do because this is that important. Not for careers. Nor for office, not for cash. All we want is for Crossrail to leave us alone.

If you can tell us which 'mainstream' media has done the job of giving the information on our campaign then we shall consider that. And if the media are shown to have covered the substance - and the range - of what we have been posting then we shall consider your point about frequency and volume.

Otherwise the only ay we can see any conclusion is if the current CrossRail hole Bill is fundamentally redrafted changed or better still scrapped.


Thanks once again, we welcome genuine comments and we take every comment seriously and we are not likely o refuse to engage in debate only because you may not agree with our opposition to CrossRail attack on our community
