Tower Hamlets Council is set to be sunk down the Xrail hole

© The Author / Khoodeelaar/ CBRUK /LAWMEDIA | 09.03.2006 14:20 | Analysis | Indymedia | Social Struggles | London | World

The campaign in the Brick Lane London E1 area against the hybrid 'Crossrail Bill' [UK House of Commons] is getting heightened this week. Campaigners are setting out conditions for individual councillors to show their full commitment to oppose the Crossrail hole attacks. The constitutional implications of this are significant. This includes the possibility of individual councillors being taken to court on their undertaking. Of they refuse to give such clear undertaking then the claim that local democracy works will be exposed as seriously false. Ordinary people will have to defe3nd the community against the Crossrail; attacks. And against similar environemntal, economic and social attacks moiyunted under covers of democracy.

Khoodeelaar! The Brick Lane London E1 Area campaign against the Crossrail hole “plan, scheme, project” Bill

Khoodeelaar! The campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill is asking all prospective candidates for the scheduled 4 May 2006 council election
to answer a ten point questionnaire about what they will do if they get elected.

the questions are designed to elicit maximum facts from each of the candidates.

The significance of the questionnaire is that it has been based on the so-far-published Khoodeelaar! Manifesto 2006 and the questions are being asked of all candidates including those who are not seeking election in the wards that are diur4ectkly affected by the known details of the Crossrail hole plan.

The Khoodeelaar! Questions are about personal commitment by the councillors to oppose the Crossrail attacks on the East End of London

This means that Khoodeelaar! is expecting each candidate to give a personal undertaking to oppose the Crossrail attacks on the community and is asking whether they will be prepared to go all the legal and constitutional way as individual councillors in identifying with the community.

The Khoodeelaar! questions are due to be published on the khoodeelaar web site at 1700 Hrs GMT today

Why Xrail-hole collusion by Tower Hamlets clique is big disaster for all

09.03.2006 16:14




A khoodeelaaronline special report at 1600 Hrs GMT
Thursday 9 March 2006


Why Khoodeelaar! Says that Tower Hamlets Council is doomed to sink down the Crossrail hole?

The answer is linked with but not completely contained in the fact that the Blair regime has announced today [Thursday 9 March 2006] that it is going to give London Mayor Ken Livingstone even more powers over transport in London than has been the case so far..

What this means is that Livingstone is going to swallow up even more of the ‘local’ ‘democracy’ pretences which are symbolised by the name of ‘the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council’ than he has done already.

It is a fact that Livingstone wants to abolish local councils. It is a fact that Livingstone wants to assume the powers personally and declare local elections redundant as far as those relate to electing councillors to make up local councils such as Tower Hamlets.

And that fact has been suppresse3d by the controlling clique on the present Tower Hamlets Council. The reason why they have suppressed that fact is also linked with the personal greed and dishonesty and the corruption of the key members of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council.

Several key members of the controlling clique on the present Tower Hamlets Council have been receiving cash payments under guises of ‘representing’ Tower Hamlets Council on formally described ‘external’ bodies

Some of those ‘external bodies’ include huge Big Business looting-of-public-cash operations fronted via the Odious ODPM department like the Thames Gateway programmes.

Yet there has been no accounting to the formally constituted Tower Hamlets Council by anybody sitting on any part of the Thames gateway programme in the name of the elected London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council.

Hundreds of smaller operations, all designed to facilitate the impoverishment of those already pushed into and kept in poverty and low income across inner London and across the inner city parts of ’greater’ London and to enrich the Big Business companies and their agents.

The trend has been to undermine the idea of local people having a democratic say on our own locally elected council. This has been done by the active participation of the allegedly democratically active clique that has been controlling Tower Hamlets Council for the past five years.

And that betrayal of 'local democracy' by the controlling clique on Tower Hamkest Council has been done with no little help from a mainly passive official Opposition.

There is no evidence of any major political issue being initiated by the official opposition on Tower Hamlets Council at all.

There is no evidence either of the official Opposition taking any significant and original steps in the past five years that could reasonably have propelled the controlling clique into action that would comply with the democratic demand that is implicit in the fact of the existence of a locally elected Council.
