Brick Lane London e1 area campaign against Crossrail hole Bill [UK House of Commons, the hybrid ‘Crossrail Bill’]

Demonstration against Tower Hamlets Council
6 PM today Wednesday 1 March 2006




This demonstration is the latest expression of the community demand for Tower Hamlets Council to stop colluding with the Crossrail hole plan and for Tower Hamlets Council to pass a clear categorical Motion saying NO to Crossrail hole. And saying No to all that the Crossrail hole plan Bill implies and entails and represents.





This site will now carry only details about the demo and documents that are most directly related to the planned events of 1 March 2006.



Who allowed Tower Hamlets Councillor Michael Keith to act as an agent for Crossrail interest in June 2003?

Why wasn’t he asked questions by other members of the ‘ruling’ ‘majority’ Group of Councillors on Tower Hamlets Council?

What was the Greater London labour Party doing playing silent all that time when Michael Keith was touting for Crossrail to be speeded up?

Contrasting the behaviour of the Greater London council in the first fortnight of January 2006 – when they became politically active on a topical issues around the alleged absence from his constituency by George Galloway MP for Bethnal green and Bow, why was the Greater London labour Party not playing a similar – a remotely similar – part of alleged keenness for standards in public life when Blarite councillor Michael Keith was getting increasingly involved as a promoter of the Crossrail project?

What were the ‘other’ councillors on Tower Hamlets Council doing about what Michael Keith was doing for Crossrail?

What is the record of all the other councillors on Tower Hamlets Council, other than Michael Keith, about Crossrail?

What 'democratic, accountable' vigilant, representative. fair, alert' culture is it that allows any councillor in the controlling group to behave so brazenly as an agent acting for unelected, unaccountable, private and secretive outside commercial interests as if Tower Hamlets Council was the legitimate target for exploitation and violation and he - Councillor Michael Keith posing as Thames Gateway London partnership man rather than admitting the actual legitimacy that he derived or sought to derive from the fact of his being a Tower Hamlets councillor - was the tool to inflict as much damage to the Council as he could manage to do?
The damage here is of course to the people in the Borough of Tower Hamlets - including in particular those from Brick Lane area to Mile End Park area -whose long medium and short term interests, health, safety and futures have been sedulously exposed to attack and violation by the Crossrail project.

How is it that the whole UK national medium and the local press in the East End of London did not show any r4echnoition of the crucial role played for Crossrail in June 2003 by Michael Keith?


Who authorised Michael Keith to promote Crossrail to Tony Blair in June 2003?

This question arises because of what Michael Keith did in the name of the London borough of Tower Hamlets Council.

As the Tower Hamlets Council’s chair of ‘regeneration’ at the time, Michael Keith
Took part in a frenetic, fanatical promotion of everything and anything that big business wanted and covered up the connection with the stock phrase he overdosed on ,’this will bring regeneration’.

While he was chair of Tower Hamlets Council’s regeneration committee [a bureaucratic grouping rather than a democratically active organ of an elected organisation] Michael Keith also sat on the Thames Gateway London partnership. He was only able to do so because he was a Councillor. How did he get to be ‘representing’ Tower Hamlets Council on the Thames Gateway London partnership?
He did it by taking undue advantage of the morass that the ruling group on Tower Hamlets Council had sunk into in democratic terms.

He CHOSE to be nominated to Thames Gateway London Partnership. As did every single other councillor on Tower Hamlets Council ruling group when it came to their being formally ‘appointed’ to ‘represent’ Tower Hamlets Council on external bodies.

And once on then Thames Gateway London partnership, Michael Keith was beyond any democratic control.

HE was not answering to the Tower Hamlets Council on what he got up to while he sat on Thames Gateway London Partnership.

And nobody on Tower Hamlets Council asked him about what he was getting up to.

Not in any way that can be cited as being a democratic demand on Michael Keith to account for his actions on the Thames Gateway London partnership.
