Khoodeelaar! Defence of the community against Crossrail hole plot-backer ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council
The London EVENING STANDARD today exposes itself as a very idiotic and transparently stupid publication.
In its main 'editorial comment', the Idiotic Standard says that Ruth Kelly is being too demanding of Big Business over Crossrail! What a state of affairs over CRASSrail! CRASSRAIL indeed! Ruth Kelly has this one unique chance to show she has integrity, ethics and courage: SCRAP Crossrail and blame Big business for openly plotting to loot the UK treasury under covers of Crossrail! – Extracts [20 September 2007] from the Muhammad Haque daily political commentary, forthcoming, hereView the Muhammad Haque daily commentary [first of a series on this aspect] about the EVENING STANDARD crass role for CRASSrail and what UK Transport Minster Ruth Kelly should do if she is to establish herself as a person of integrity and honesty
FOR 44 months, almost four years, Khoodeelaar! has argued that Crossrail was flawed, defective. For as long, Ken Livingstone has claimed that Crossrail was perfect. In that tie, Khoodeelaar! has showed the key faults in the project in the context of the Lon don transport needs. One such has been the comparative economic role of Crossrail in relation to the existing transport infrastructure. We have said that the existing infrastructure deserves priority treatment when the use of public money was involved. We said that the existing underground and allied railway networks that needed maintenance and improvement would far better address the transport needs than any Crossrail line would. For years, we have been met with silence from the Crossrail pluggers. We have shown also that the Heathrow-link of CrossRail has been a serious piece of contradiction and we have detailed the extent of that contradiction. Nobody else has said that...Now, only days before the Lyingstill Livingstone is set to stage another of his lying publicity freak shows [just as he was party to doing from Singapore when the corruptly procured Olympics 2012 bid was ‘successfully’ promoted by Livingstone featuring himself as the main achiever….] at the Blaired Party jamboree, there are signs that even within the Business ‘sector’ serious doubts have existed about Livingstone’s grasp of the issues and his failure to tell the truth about his failing grip on things

What is wrong with Susan Kramer? In addition to her being immersed in a state of liberal confusion about society and where things need to be changed, that is? Susan Kramer became additionally confused when she was in the proximity of the spin of the liar of London. Hence her inability to see all of London . She mistakes London and substitutes the package of lies spun by Livingstone as London. She hears no reason. She finds no reason. She cannot appreciate any reason if it comes from any source other than the Lyingstill Livingstone. Hence her failure to see that Crossrail is CRASS. That it is Not the answer to the pressing transport problems of London. And the other thing that is wrong with Susan Kramer is that contradictory to her pretensions, she is ignorant about macro economics. She has effectively bought the liar’s slogan that London funds the rest of the UK economy! That gigantic lie will cost the people unless Gordon Brown exposes it for the mega 'Londonist' lie that it is. There is a word. Londonist. It is intended in my use here to be a negative term to denote those who lie and exaggerate the importance of London at the expose of people in other parts of the UK. Gordon Brown is now preparing his keynote party speech package. And I would suggest that he comprehensively repudiates those who say that London finance is keeping the rest of the UK. And the same goes for Alistair Darling. And a footnote. Darling has the duty to renounce his Crossrail Bill and to say that he got that wrong.

Who is ‘conspiring’ against the community to suppress the news and information about the corrupt Tower Hamlets Council in the so-called ‘Bangladeshi media’? Or is it the ‘Bengali media’ Or is it ‘Bangla media’? Whatever it is, the so-called media are LYING against the community and are shamelessly sucking up to the corrupt clique on Tower Hamlets Council
Is the Crossrail hole-inviter Tower Hamlets Council bribing the ethnicity linked ‘newspapers’? – We update our examination of the ‘ethnicity’-linked’ ‘Bangla’ ‘media’ that has been ‘published’ from addresses in and around the E1 area where most of the targets of the Crossrail hoe attacks are
What is the meaning of the word ‘conspiracy’ when used in an ethnicity-linked ‘newspaper’ that does not have any report telling g the truth about the community’s demonstration against Tower Hamlets Council held on 11 September 2007?

Muhammad Haque daily world linguistic commentary
1625 Hrs GMT London Tuesday 18 September 2007
When I said ‘Get Cross with Crossrail’ at the end of one of the very first meetings of the movement that soon afterwards became known as Khoodeelaar! even I didn’t think that my phraseology would get such wider currency. As has happened quite a few times in the past 18 months with external publishers and commentators appearing with their views on the project under the headline ‘Cross with CrossRail’. This has happened once again, today [Tuesday 18 September 2007]. My first campaign poem was published on the internet on 31 January 2004 under the heading, “Getting Cross with Crossrail’.It has taken almost 4 years for the ‘mainstream’ ‘transport economics’ commentators to catch up! But to find that the Manchester Evening News, the Mancunian mainstay of the Crossrail-hole-plot-backing Guardian is the one that has used my phrase albeit with a question mark, completes the journey as far as the linguistic puzzle that had persisted up to now as proffered by the pluggers of the flawed project. My commentary today deals in this part with the general trend noticeable now among the pluggers of confessing that the Crossrail scheme is CRASS. After all....

The Khoodeelaar! Question as put to ‘full council’ meeting of Tower Hamlets Council on Tuesday 11 September 2007 was to know why that Council had not passed the unequivocal motion saying a CLEAR No to the Crossrail hole attacks on the East End. The answer, which the controlling pro-CrossRail hole bureaucracy of the Tower Hamlets Council gave in its written statement of reply to the Khoodeelaar! question, confirmed all the bad things that the Council clique had been doing against the people of the East End. We examine that reply and also examine the full Council meeting in the context of the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against Crossrail throughout this week.

Khoodeelaar! On the Record warning Gordon Brown against the Crossrail hole scheme waste of public money and of resources.
Gordon Brown is being misled by Ken Livingstone into making a serious financial error. Today the Murdoch-owned London Sunday Times announces the ‘news’ that Gordon Brown is set to give the CRASSrail the go-ahead. What this means is that Brown is committing huge sums of money from the public purse to back the Big Business Crossrail hole plot.
This is a plot that has been touted for Big Business by the ‘Undone mayor’ Ken Lyingstill Livingstone. We have repeatedly warned Brown against Crossrail hole commitment. The decision Brown has evidently taken to back CrossRail is not economically sustainable. It is a political decision which will come back to haunt Gordon Brown. Ken Livingstone may not be even mayor to be haunted by it. The present CrossRail scheme will lumber passengers and the public with debts and liabilities that are not justified. Livingstone is making an increasingly desperate bid to use Gordon Brown’s apparent agreement to make this huge sum of public money available for the present CRASSrail hole line as his [Livingstone] next election propaganda to get elected [for the third time in a row since the wasteful post of mayor for London was created by Blair] to claim that he did this ‘for transport in London’. This claim by Livingstone has been a lie and is a lie.
As even the Sunday Times and the Times have now acknowledged. Albeit belatedly. Crossrail is flawed seriously in a way that will not deliver the transport ‘solutions’ that its touts have been promising. It will also take vital public money away fro being put into improving the far bigger and the existing London underground and related railway network.
Khoodeelaar! has been saying this for 44 months now. What we have been saying has only just now begun to be acknowledged.
In bits.
The start has been made belated in the Times newspaper group. We recognise this late acknowledgement and recognition. And we are now going to publish a the other flaws of CrossRail that the Times newspaper group has not yet acknowledged. Or seen. Or noticed. We shall also at the same time, detail the attacks that we have been focussing on for the past 44 months as far as the CrossRail Holes in the East End of London have been concerned.
And in this series, we shall be updating our comments, our analyses and our findings of the past 44 months.

From the AADHIKARonline previous editions
The fanatically misleading London evening paper the EVENING [no standards of ethics or morality ]STANDARD has been lying for years for Crossrail. The number of Crossrail-peddling lying plugs the EVENING STANDARD has pushed, can be compared only with the matching lies uttered by the Crossrail hole plotter tout Ken Livingstone. So, as we pointed out yesterday, Lyngstill’s promotion of CRASS rail has not been received with welcome in the mainstream media.
Indeed, there has been no report, as far as we could find, recording the boasts made by Lyingstill Livingstone and sneaked out via the BBC by Andrew Whine-Stone-Liar m of Livingstone’s boastful, conspiratorially packaged and delivered claims, made at the perennially embarrassing waster of London people's money the Greater London Assembly earlier this week. What has happened, as we accurately observed ion Thursday [13 September 2007] is that the truth of the CRASS Rail’s fundamental flaws had hit even Gordon Brown’s camp. Notwithstanding Brown’s apparent readiness to accept the embrace by the snaring Ken Livingstone, there has been real pressure from the ongoing financial ‘market’ collapse and so there is serious hesitation in the formally installed office of the Finance Minister of UK, Alistair Darling.
[More about HIS role in this CRASSrail, at another time, here]
Just as the Times today confessed that Crossrail is not quite the solution to the transport needs of London that the CRASSrail pluggers have been peddling it to be
As if that were not bad enough for the liar and the corrupter of London, the forever Crossrail-promoting EVENING STANDARD has devoted its main first editions Editorial to a retreat on the CRASSrail hole plot. They say, amongst other things, that ”even as hopes are raised for Crossrail, it has been intimated that this would be at the expense of further support for the modernization of the Tube network. This is absurd: both are necessary”.
Then the idiotic EVENING STANDARD goes on to repeat some of the familiar lies for CrossRail that it had published over the previous years.
The idiots who have been confecting most of the CRASSrail – plugging pieces as carried THE EVENING STANDARD are ignorant of the fact that people in the East End can see the idiocy. This is why there were more people taking active part in the latest Khoodeelaar! Demonstration against the CRASSrail hole-inviting Tower Hamlets Council on Tuesday [11 September 2007] than would have been the case if any of the demonstrating residents and tenants in or at the properties and streets affected by the CRASSrail hole plot thought that the line was needed by the people in the East End.
[To be continued]
One of the original findings of the exclusive investigation into the conduct – or, more accurately, the Misconduct of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council has been the fact that it is a very low calibre outfit. That the Council is not being ‘led’ by intelligence. In the sense of the word 'intelligence' meaning the high standard of ability of thought and consideration. What we have been encountering in the behaviour – misbehaviour – of the clique is that it is devoid also of that level of common sense which ought to be there if the powers available to a locally ‘elected’ council are to be exercised to the good of the local people. What we have uncovered and exposed over the Crossrail hole-inviting role of that clique is crassness, a stupidity that would not be tolerated if there were accountability, if there were scrutiny. As there is neither scrutiny nor accountability, the corrupt clique is getting away with the letting down of the people in the Borough. No, letting down is not the word,. Betrayal is a more appropriate word. But even that one is not enough. The corrupt clique that has been in control f the Tower Hamlets Council is likely to be found on an independent examination of the evidence of its misconduct, to have been part of an external attack operation against the East End. As we have been calling them a tout Council, the evidence of their misconduct will vindicate that tag and that analysis.
[To be continued]
What is more, the persistent absence of a thinking and moray sound and combined ‘opposition’ is not helping the cause of the people in the Borough. [To be continued]
Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole plot-inviting Tower Hamlets Council – AADHIKAR online is continuing the reports on the admission by the Council that it had been LYING all along about the role it had been paying to bring into the East End the Crossrail hole attacks.
AADHIKARonline has already published the quotation from the Crossrail hole-inviting clique on Tower Hamlets Council saying that “Ultimately, the Council must respect Crossrail’s overarching duty to have regard to the paramount importance of the health and safety of Crossrail passengers and workers which will dictate the location of such shafts”
CRASSRAIL exposed again!
Even as the increasingly economically misdirected agenda of the one-time ‘prudent’ Gordon Brown slides down to reach the abyss of embarrassment by Gordon Brown’s embrace of the sinister ploys of the ego-centric Ken Livingstone who has been the main tout for Big Business Crossrail hole plot, the pitfalls and the wastefulness of CrossRail are being acknowledged by some of the most unlikely of quarters and sources - including, in a bizarrely twisted way, by some within Livingstone's own empire for abuse of transport in the name of the people of London , Transport for London!. The Khoodeelaar! Movement has been monitoring and auditing these events. So that there is no claim after the disaster hits everyone, that ‘we were not warned’. So here is another timely and exclusive contribution by the Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole plot campaign.
Even The London Times [owned by Rupert Murdoch] has been confronted with irresistible evidence, which they have to recognise, confirming what Khoodeelaar! Analyses of Crossrail have consistently shown. In the latest report published by the Times today [Friday 14 September 2007] they have outlined some of the very things that the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the Crossrail hole project has found in the very detailed analysis of the other studies on the subject, including the 'Eddington Transport study - the case for action'. In a comment to the Times web site, Khoodeelaar! No to CrossRail hole Bill campaign organiser Muhammad Haque has said this morning that the Time’s “identification of the problems that Crossrail will cause represents a broader view of the problems than the promoters of the current plan will claim. It is time to go back to the drawing boards and come up with the plan that will be economically and environmentally sustainable. A great deal of public money has already been wasted in the bureaucracy of the Crossrail Company. They have not produced the optimum solution to the transport needs of London. The reason why they have not done so includes the sabotage of the parliamentary scrutiny of the Crossrail Bill. In terms of the devastating effects the Crossrail hole plan will cause to the East End of London, the social deficits will far outweigh any promised economic benefits for these parts. With the world of finance behaving in the unpredictable way that it is bound to do, the promoters' big claim for Crossrail being vital to make London a world class financial centre will most likely be another wasteful and diversionary exaggeration. Scrap the Crossrail Bill now. Use sustainable economic solution to the transport needs of London.”View the Times piece HERE:"£16bn Crossrail go-ahead threatens to shunt Tube upgrade into sidings"

This item has also been picked up by some of the most persistently racist outfits operating in the UK. Those outfits are promoting the alleged behaviour of the controlling clique as evidence that Tower Hamlets Council is undermining one particular racial or ethnic group in the borough’s population.

Anger at council snub over colour
Thursday, September 13, 2007
Two white councillors have hit out after being excluded from a meeting because of their colour.
Peter Golds and Stephanie Eaton said they were outraged at not being asked to take part in the focus group at Tower Hamlets council in East London.
The gathering was organised to come up with ideas for improving career opportunities for Bangladeshi and ethnic minority workers at the council.
Mr Golds, who leads the Conservatives on the council, has taken the matter to the Commission for Racial Equality. Ms Eaton, who heads the Liberal Democrat group, made a sarcastic apology after the snub.
Deputy Labour leader Siraj Islam, who organised the gathering, told a council meeting this week: 'Without wishing to be patronising, we felt it should be “Bangladeshi only” because we have the expertise on these matters and we talk to staff in the corridors about concerns.'
Ms Eaton replied: 'Well, I'm sorry for being white and there's nothing I can do about that.' She added: 'Am I irrelevant because I'm white? I do actually talk to Bangladeshis a lot and think I would have had something to contribute.'
After the cabinet meeting, Mr Golds wrote to council chief executive Martin Smith saying he was 'disturbed' by the exclusion.
He has also contacted the commission, asking it whether the move was a breach of equality policies.
Tower Hamlets Council said other sessions would be organised so that all councillors were involved.
AADHIKARonline unquoting [Friday 14 September 2007] from METRONET the London business competition-spoiler ‘free sheet’ published by the Daily Mail group to protect the EVENING STANDARD from competition, retailing [Thursday 13 September 2007] another ‘race row’ story about the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council
From the previous editions of AADHIKARonline
Ken Crossrail hole plot-backer Livingstone has boasted that he has got Gordon Brown to give in. Lyingstill has been letting on that Brown has no alternative but to commit public funds to the 'building' of CRASSrail. Lyingstill has been boasting of his alleged victory in getting Ruth Kelly, the present holder of the post of Secretary of State [Transport Minster] ‘for’ Transport in the Gordon Brown administration. So, with both Gordon Brown and Ruth Kelly already Konned by Ken the CrossRail hole plotter into ‘recognising the vital importance of Crossrail’, what is the hush? Why isn’t the liar Ken spelling out what the deal is? What is holding him back? This must be because the liar Ken is at it again.
That is, he is lying again. As has the BBC’s resident liar for Big Business Andrew Whine-Stone-Lie been
Both have made typically sneaky suggestions that Brown has agreed that the Govt will in the main provide the funding for the construction of the CRASSLY conceived Crossrail.
And BOTH the liars have perpetrated their particular assertions in public.
Yet NEITHER latest lying plug has been picked up by any other mainstream' media outlet in the UK, as far as we can find in our researches done over the past week.
This raises the question:
Why? The first answer is that nobody at the UK Treasury has been prepared to confirm what Lyingstill Livingstone and Whine-Stone-Lie have put about. Even Ruth Kelly, - sacked from her previous jobs under Blair due to widespread disquiet at her lack of grip on the subject that her post was supposedly responsible for – has not become available to back up what the Lyingstill and the Whine-stone-Lie have claimed.
The other part of the answer must be something to do with the fact that there is no evidence at all that the commitment of so much public money to CRASSrail in London is going to produce the returns that could remotely justify the damage that will be caused to the economy by the pluggers of Crossrail..
That is why the sneaky, hush-hush manner and atmosphere by the liars.. These two are touting for Big Business. But Big Business is not well. It is again sick, after being exposed once again as having been involved in the theft and looting on a huge scale around the USA-located mortgage scandal. Which is having significant repercussions on the rest of the fiscal policy decision-makers across the Big Business –dominated parts of the world. Just as the continuing imperialistic robberies in the name of ‘wars’ [theft of oil and other natural resources from Asia on the grandest scale at the moment] ….
[To be continued]
What ‘mainstream’ media outlet in the UK has published the most ‘articles’ promoting Crossrail hole plot? The answer is of course the London EVENING Standard. Why? There is no reason that the paper has published except that it is part of what the Big Business wants. And the Evening standardless Standard is the one that has symbolically gone silent on key occasions as well. When reason, logic and ethics would warrant a treatment by the ‘EVENING STANDARD’ of the key aspects of the transport needs of London, it has been silent on those occasions.

Khoodeelaar! No to Tower Hamlets Council corruptly publishing claims about its role on Crossrail - the next part of the Khoodeelaar! reports on the 'full Council' meeting held on Tuesday 11 September 2007
Does the 'East London Idiotiser' have an agenda to replace the corrupt clique on the Tower Hamlets Council? We have no written statement saying that this is the case. But we do have written proof that shows that the East London 'Idiotiser' is being published in a way that a fully fledged racist title would behave. We are starting this particular examination by looking at this week's front page item alleging that Tower Hamlets Council` has had a 'race row'. More soon. In fact much of the racist ‘contents’ the East London Idiotiser carries gets repeated by officially racist parties, outlets and operatives soon afterwards.
We start examining the behaviour of the East London Idiotiser, later on today Thursday 13 September 2007 As a contextual intro, we are looking at the contents of the 'East London Idiotiser' , as published today, Thursday 13 September 2007
We have been describing the ‘East London Advertiser’ as the ‘East London Iodizer’ for very good reasons and on impeccable evidence. We had assumed that the Idiotiser/s behind the scenes and operating the same Idiotising scheme that has produced the idiotic headline and the even more idiotic contents in it [‘Race Row’ front page lead in the ‘East London Idiotiser, Thursday 13 September 2007] the 'Idiotiser, would have leant to tell the truth by now…' But we have found no evidence of the Idiotiser learning to tell the truth, especially where the conduct of the ‘local’ ‘Tower Hamlets Council’ is concerned. But the evidence shows that far from learning to tell the truth, the Idiotiser is bent on telling lies., Especially to tell racist lies that keep the pronounce in the Borough of the significant population with such a wide range of backgrounds of cultures.

2007 The Khoodeelaar! movement against Crossrail attacks on the East End created a new precedent in exposing the local Tower Hamlets Council during 'full council' held ion Tuesday 11 September 2007 at the 'town hall' sited AWAY fro most ordinary people in the Borough.
The contents of what took place have far reaching implications for local people’s rights and by logical extension for the democratic rights of all in society.
What was witnessed in the behaviour of the controlling clique of Blaring time serving careerists should give pause for a thought even to those who are too eager to back any slogan that involves increasing the monetary and career gains of those bent on grabbing positions and opportunities as local councillors.

How did you think the controlling clique reacted .
We refer here to the distortion of the facts - as was the contents of Joshua Peck who twisted what Abjol Miah had said .
We refer here to Cllr Turner who misinterpreted what the movers of the main motion against Crossrail had said in their speeches .
We refer to a certain other Crossrail hole plot-backer who again lied on the floor of the Council chamber when he denied that there was opposition to Crossrail hole plot in the Bow East ward.
.
We refer to Abdal Ullah who repeatedly shouted 'Shame, Shame' to Cllr Lutfa Begum as she was speaking. She had asked why the Brick Lane area had been targeted for the Crossrail hole attacks. .
We refer to Abdal Ullah who taunted Cllr Lutfa Begum by asking ‘which community’ after she had clearly stated ‘the Bangladeshis’ in relation the targets of the Crossrail attacks .
We refer to the factual contents of the original reports created by Khoodeelaar! and made available to Tower Hamlets councillors and to the council at no charge at all.
We make this point about costs to emphasize the fact that Tower Hamlets Council controlling clique has admitted to spending nearly £1million on diverting the campaign attention way from the Council’s touting for Crossrail .
We refer to the facts of the presentation of the Question by Khoodeelaar! Organizer Muhammad Haque and the very serious points made about the constitution of the UK and about the obligations of the Council to abide by the UK's treaty obligations in the context of Europe, about the Council’s failure to represent the community in the borough and the failure and or the refusal of the controlling clique to even begin to address the contents of the rest of his questions to be addressed by the controlling group.
.
We refer to the intended and the pathetically persistently ignorant and insulting and off the topic remark by Rupert Baden .
We refer to the untruthful assertion as made by Simon Rouse about Crossrail having been discussed [or 'debated'] in the Council “

Khoodeelaar! campaign action history – Note on the latest fabrication about the ‘Bethnal Green and Bow ‘constituency as peddled by the poisonously lying Mail on Sunday for a second weekend, around the allegedly political past of “Oona…”- [2]
How strange that the Khoodeelaar! movement is in receipt of a hint or two today [Sunday 9 September 2007] that Tony McNulty, the husband of the Crossrail hole plot-inviting Tower Hamlets Council’s former ‘chief executive’ Christine Gilbert and himself accused of having played a key role in the drafting of a dastardly component of what is known as the ‘Hybrid’ ‘Crossrail Bill’ [now in the UK House of Commons], has probably got one thing right! As retailed in the ‘Mail on Sunday’, McNulty allegedly called Oona ‘stupid’! And in front of 100 ‘other’ ‘Mps’. The alleged confirmation by McNulty of what had been well known in the Bethnal Green and Bow Constituency took place, as is claimed in the ‘Mail on Sunday’ on 25 October 2004. The Khoodeelaar! campaign archives show that that was 3 days after the first Khoodeelaar! demonstration, held in the Greatorex Street, London E1, against the Crossrail hole-inviting role played by ‘the holder of the post at the time, of being the leader’ of Tower Hamlets Council, one Abbas Uddin ‘Helal’. Our demonstration took place on Friday 22 October 2004.
And our key demand was that Tower Hamlets Council was that the Tower Hamlets Council disassociate itself with the Crossrail promoters and that it only acts as the local council that it is and ceases all communications with al the elements and forces that are promoting the Crossrail hole plot
That Khoodeelaar! demonstration actually was forced on the campaign by the STUPIDITY of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council. The clique had been given a way out of the mess that it had created over its touting for Crossrail.
We had asked the ‘leading’ members of the clique, at and after the ‘cabinet’ meeting of the Tower Hamlets council that had been held during the first half of October 2004, to drop the Council’s collusion and to join the community campaign against CrossRail. But as they were STUPID, they ignored our advice given in good faith.
The result was that the community’s need to stop the Crossrail hole attack had to be raised to whatever level it politically could be raised. We made our intentions plain.
But Oona did not attend our demonstration.
And in the more than one year of the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against CrossRail hole attacks that she was [still an] MP [from 31 January 2004 to end of April 2005 when she was ousted by the voters in the constituency. She was kicked out by the community] . She did not make one communication to us saying anything about Crossrail.
Far less a single word AGAINST Crossrail.
Then in one of the series of Khoodeelaar! Campaign meetings, we decided to ask her questions. Those were represented in our communication sent to her on 18 October 2004. She did not answer that one. Nor did she even acknowledge its receipt.
Given that Khoodeelaar! had drafted a series of forma demands as well as texts of for a petition, against Crossrail and given the fact that there was no other entity in the constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow that was doing what Khoodeelaar! Was doing, we found it very significant that as we were stepping up the campaign against Crossrail, a strangely similarly worded petition appeared with the name of Oona ….But that petition was another instance of pro-Crossrail fabrication. It was NOT against CrossRail. It was FOR Crossrail. And it was craftily contrived by some dishonest aider and abetter of Oona who stole from the Khoodeelaar! Drafts, used some of our phrases but ended up backing the Crossrail assault……..
Who is Oona trying to kid about her alleged advocacy for the community against Crossrail?
[
To be continued] This demand continues to be our demand to the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council on Crossrail [and will be reiterated at the demonstration by Khoodeelaar! outside the Tower Hamlets Council at 6.30 PM on Tuesday 11 September 2007]
