Tony Blair’s hogging of the ‘headlines’ over the ridiculous ‘respect agenda’ today Tuesday 9 January 2006 is an indulgence that must be put into perspective. The Blairite behaviour of the controlling group on Tower Hamlets Council has been abysmally anti-democratic.

Tony Blair’s hogging of the ‘headlines’ over the ridiculous ‘respect agenda’ today Tuesday 9 January 2006 is an indulgence that must be put into perspective. The Blairite behaviour of the controlling group on Tower Hamlets Council has been abysmally anti-democratic. Unless Tower Hamlets council is democratized by the community in the borough, there may not be much left of the community AS WE KNOW IT. That community is coming under increasing sell outs and sell off attacks. And that is even before we examine the massive violations of the community that are planned under the Crossrail hole Bill. The role played so far by controlling factions on the local Tower Hamlets Council in the East End in bringing the Crossrail hole attack schema upon the Han bury Street, Princelet Street and upon the neighbouring streets has been the key determinant in giving the Crossrail-backing interest the ‘confidence’ that they can destroy the Brick Lane Area and yet face no tangible demand for accountability from the East End community.

KHOODEELAAR ! updater on 'local MP' G Galloway

Khoodeelaar! THE BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CROSSRAIL HOLE BILL has been seeking confirmation from George Galloway’s office.
On Monday 9 January 2006 we sent an email to him. We received no reply unto 1430 hrs today.
We have received MANY QUERIES based on the news items in the evening standard and today's daily mail about the alleged 'debate' on Crossrail.
We are scheduled to issue our own campaign statement about that in the next 24 hours.

FTB the racist Troll strikes again

This organisation pretends to represent the residents of Bethnal Green but no one around here has ever heard of them. It is 100% spin with no basis in reality outside New Labour's PR department. In addition, the company behind this is based in Hertfordshire and Covent Garden neither of which is in Bethnal Green, so what is their interest in slagging off George Galloway?
I didn't vote for George Galloway and I don't like him, but its none of your's or anyone else's business who we vote for in Bethnal Green. I am sick and tired of the media, New Labour and extreme right-wing tossers like you still cannot accept the people of Bethnal Green did not vote for that loser Oona King, but preferred a clown like George.
The only reason Oona lost is because she is a New Labour hack from west London, parachuted into a safe seat via the notoriously corrupt Hackney Labour Party, who arrogantly refused to listen to her own constituency party or local residents opposition to Tony and George's War to further her own career. The former MP Peter Shore would not have been so arrogant and would have kept the seat for Labour, by listening to the concerns of the majority of his constituents and opposing the war. George Galloway did not 'win' Bethnal Green, Oona King lost it, get over it!
Like all politicians Galloway is a greedy wanker, but he is still the person the majority of people voted for in Bethnal Green. If the world must accept democratically elected but blood stained War Criminals like Sharon, Blair and Bush, then at least we can all enjoy laughing at a twit like George Galloway.
Finally, FTB? Does that stand for Fellating Tony Blair?

Tower Hamlets Council is still backing Crossrail scheme
10.01.2006 21:02
'The Council supports the Crossrail scheme in principle, but not at any price.'
Then they go on to explain what the 'but not at any price' really is about. They go on to state
'We want to minimise the social impacts, especially the environmental effects on the borough. Tower Hamlets is continuing to consult with Crossrail with the aim of maintaining ongoing negotiations and resolving as many of the issues as we can prior to our appearance before the Select Committee'.
There is not a word about the Council OPPOSING the Crossrail hole in the Brick Lane area.
Have you asked the Council about that?
We have many members who live in the Brick Lane area. Most of them are aged fewer than 20 and they face grim future if Crossrail are allowed by the Council to dig the hole and cause the destruction of the area.

Did I Really?

Er... No, I didn't. I've never even logged on to Oxford Indymedia. Or, in fact, been to Oxford.
Oh, and the people who run the Get Back To Work website live in Bethnal Green — it's registered in Cov Garden because that's where they work.
Tell me, why is it racist to point out that an MP is not representing his constituents? And if it's so terrible an wrong to be concerned about the actions of an MP from a constituency you don't live in, will you pour similar bile onto anyone who ever criticises, say, George Bush without being an American?

PS - note the irony

Unlike salt-of-the-earth lifelong East Ender George, who in no way dropped himself into the only seat in Britain he had a hope of winning in and then spent three months campainging on the most vile anti-semitic platform witnessed in East London since the Brick Lane riots.

What did Oona do to represent the community against the Croosrail attack?
20.01.2006 16:19
Please give only facts, not fiction.
We attended a meeting at Toynbee Hall during 2004 and heard Oona King say that she believed the local community would come round to accepting Crossrail if the Crossrail promoters had explained the 'benefits' more !!!
That does not show much sensitivity.
It certainly does not show any respect for the community.
