BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA MANIFESTO AGAINST the Crossrail hole Bill.

The future composition of the Council in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets will depend very much on the conduct over the Crossrail hole of those seeking election to the Council at the scheduled polls in May 2006.

The conduct refers to the role over the defence of the community in the Brick Lane London E1 Area AGAINST the Crossrail hole.

The powers to dig a hole and or tunnel/s in the Hanbury Street / Princelet Street (or in any other street) in the area surrounding the Brick Lane in London E1 are among many objectionable ones being sought in the Crossrail (‘hybrid’) Bill now in the UK House of Commons.

The widely conceptually criticised Crossrail hole Bill ought not to have been allowed the ‘Second Reading’ that it was given on 19 July 2005.

That passage of that procedural stage was only possible because of the undemocratic practices by the Crossrail-bent pushers of legislative business known in the UK as whips for the controlling (‘Majority’) Party who manipulated the voting behaviour of the vote-fodder MPs in the UK House of Commons

The Crossrail hole Bill is scheduled to be given the routine ‘scrutiny’ by a nominal committee that has been announced at the start of December.

KHOODEELAAR! The campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill in the Brick Lane London E1 Area has just announced its ‘Campaign Manifesto against the Crossrail hole Bill 2006’.

That manifesto was drawn up over the past week when informal community support to the campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill was analysed.

Several campaigning community groups have announced their support to the KHOODEELAAR movement in defence of the Brick Lane London E1 Area against the Crossrail Bill.

These new groups represent families, businesses and
Young people.

They share our determination to defend the community against what (the Crossrail hole Bill) is obviously a new tactic in an old ploy by the City of London interests to disrupt, deprive and finally to destroy the community that exists in the Brick Lane London E1 area.

The groups have pledged their commitment to the Manifesto aim to stop the Crossrail hole being given Parliamentary approval.

The campaign will have maximum political impact on who make up the controlling group - if any - on the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council after the scheduled May 2006 council election.

A campaign statement released today [Wednesday 28 December 2005] says:

“Those who have been involved as the core group making the key decisions in the name of the local Tower Hamlets Council in the past four years have misled the local community, have misrepresented the local community and have misled the public at large about the role of the local Council in INVITING the Crossrail attack on the people of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

We cannot physically stop what the councillors get up to.

Despite their multi£Million use of the community’s money in peddling their images and the fickle claims on their (Tower Hamlets Council-controlled) bite and in the astonishing untruthful ‘EAST END NEWS’, the controlling group on Tower Hamlets Council do not want the community to know what really goes on in the Council.

We only find out what they get up to either by accident and partial leak or because of some unforeseen other event.

As a propensity, the controlling Tower Hamlets councillors have not been accountable to the local community in Tower Hamlets. Especially not about their role in bringing the Crossrail hole problem upon us.

We cannot get any redress by appealing to the allegedly impartial employees in the Council.

We have written to the current ‘chief executive’ Christine Gilbert, itemising our questions to her about what advice she gave to the controlling councillors on what the Tower Hamlets Council should do on Crossrail.

She has failed to answer the questions concerned.

We are publishing the full texts of those questions as part of the campaign programme on the BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA MANIFESTO AGAINST the Crossrail hole Bill.

We aim to inform the local electors on who will be the most appropriate candidates for the Council after the May 2006 election.

We shall focus in particular on the Crossrail hole and on how that hole will decimate the community as it (Crossrail hole) will devastate the economic and social life that the area has known for the best part of the past 100 years.

We are keeping a very close watch on what Alistair Darling does allow Crossrail to do with the undemocratic unconstitutional allocation of £100M Darling has just made under the cover of a sneaky statement made by his sidekick in the UK House of Lords.

Our Manifesto Against Crossrail hole Bill includes 10 separate grounds for legal actions against the local Council and against the Secretary of State.”
