London mayor Livingstone obstructs Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole

EDITOR AADHIKARonline London UK | 26.04.2006 08:59 | Social Struggles | London

Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of aadhikaronline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude's backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006

1. Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of aadhikaronline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude's backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006

2. That communication from the head of Ken Livingstone’s transport department, effectively says that the Khoodeelaar! demands for Ken Livingstone to make full disclosure of all his communications with the clique of corrupt controllers of Tower Hamlets Council are too expensive for the London Mayor to comply with !

3. There is no specific item that the London Mayor has identified in his mayor communication to Khoodeelaar on Monday 24 April 2006 as constituting an allegedly over-the-permitted limit of administration cost request under the Freed of Information Act.

4. The key point is that Khoodeelaar! the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill attacks plan on the Brick Lane London E1 area, has been issuing ken Livingstone with a series of pre-action [letter before claim] communications and the London mayor has now run out of excuses.

5. At the centre of the Khoodeelaar legal action claims against Ken Livingstone lies in the fact that the mayor has persistently misled Londoners generally and the UK Parliament through his undisclosed deals with the Transport Department and in particular the people of the East End community affected by the CrossRail hole plan.

6. Khoodeelaar! delivered the first demand to ken Livingstone for confirming a number of facts that were linked with the mayor’s release of a news item on 24 March 2006.

7. That was followed within a day or two by other calls on Livingstone to disclose the facts of his dealing with the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council.

8. It was again repeated by Khoodeelaar! no to Crossrail hole campaign updating their calls on Livingstone to deal with the factual questions that arose about the stunt from the written statement about the CrossRail hole Bill that was issued in the UK House of Commons by CrossRail hole Minister Alistair Darling on 30 March 2006.

9. The mayor is on record as having touted for the enlisting of the ‘leaders’ and ‘lead members’ of a number of local councils, including the then leader of Tower Hamlets Council [Helal Uddin Abbas] in February 2004 as part of the Livingstone lobby for CrossRail plan.

10. In a Crossrail-hole-plan promotional ‘letter’ published in 2004 under the name of Ken Livingstone together with the names of Helal Uddin Abbas and others from other local Councils, the promotion of CrossRail was made without a single qualification let alone reservation.

11. Khoodeelaar! immediately wrote to both Livingstone and demanded that the Evening Standard publish the truth about the CrossRail hole plan. Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque told the Editor of the London EVENING STANDRDA that their failure to publish the truth about the CrossRail plan [as it still was - because the CrossRail hole Bill was not put before the House of Commons until 22 February 2005, almost a year after Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque was having the series of demands put on Ken Livingstone and Christine Gilbert to tell the truth of their then role in promoting the CrossRail plan. The EVENING STANADRD failed to publish the truth. As did Ken Livingstone.
12.
That was in February 2004.

13. Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque also wrote to Tower Hamlets Council chief Executive Christine Gilbert in February 2004 and in March 2004 asking for a series of detailed answers to questions about her own role in promoting the CrossRail hole plan including the question as to what advice, if any, had she, Christine Gilbert, given to the ruling clique or group on the Tower Hamlets Council. There was no reply. There has been no reply.

14. When Khoodeelaar! issued the latest then updated series of legal claims against Alistair Darling, ken Livingstone, Christine Gilbert and a few others and said that the application to the High Court in London against them would be filed on Monday 27 March 2006, a number of things immediately happened.

15. Ken Livingstone suddenly issued a news release on 24 March 2006 saying that the CrossRail Dirt hole in the Brick Lane London E1 had been scrapped!

16. And that Ken Livingstone Crossrail-Dirt-hole plan against Brick Lane London E1 area scrapping stunt announcement was then used as the peg for the evening TV news which featured the entire cabal of self-seeking politicos doing their fame slots and assorted other fantasies. They were given more time than khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque who did say on the record [BBC London News, Friday 24 April 2006] that as far as Khoodeelaar! Was socnceend, they had immediately asked Livingstone to substantiate the claims of the scrapping of the Crossrail Dirty hole plan and demanded that Livingstone to answer the outstanding detailed KHOODELAAR! no to CrossRail hole questions that had been put to him as based on his unqualified plugs for the CrossRail plan over the previous years

17. Accordingly, Muhammad Haque and Khoodeelaar! camapgn sent the detailed further questions immediately and also went to City hall on Monday 3 April 2006 and delivered a series of questions for Livingstone to deal with.

18. On the same occasion [3 April 2006] Khoodeelaar demonstrated the campaign’s opposition to Ken Lisnsgt9ine’s role so far and demanded that Livingstone come out with the overdue answers to the extensive and the very comprehensive KHOODEELAAR! No to the Crossrail hole questions which had arisen from Livingstone’s stunt staged on Friday 24 March 2006.about the alleged scrapping of the CrossRail Dirt hole.

19. Livingstone remained silent

20. Until the aadhikaronline news carried the first detailed transcripts of the Khoodeelaar! Organiser’s Questions and answers encounter with Conservative party chair Francis Maude in Brick Lane in the mid afternoon of Monday 24 April 2006.

21. Ken Livingstone’s head of Transports sent an e-mail which is full of typical Ken Livingstone's dissembling. The concept of dissembling as associated with ken Livingstone on 24 April 2006 had already been spotted and identified a month previously [on Friday 24 March 2006] out by Khoodeelaar organiser Muhammad Haque in his news interview with the BBC London political editor Tim Donovan on that date [Friday 24 March 2006].

Brady Centre hustings in East End was a disgrace 25 April 2006

26.04.2006 13:33



We can’t expect a string voice on Tower Hamlets Council after 4 May. You could see that at the Brady centre vote-grab meeting last night.
The parties are a waste of space.
Stuff the Council! Stuff Crossrail! They don't care for us at all
Up with the people, up with the young people. Down with Crossrail. Down with all them councillors and conspirators.

East London Youth Organisation


East End hustings hot air not good enough. Show us courage and honesty in power

27.04.2006 09:31

I for one would rather hear the calm and rational facts about the misdeeds of the council. That Brady centre meeting was not run well. Why didn't they have any facility for the facts to be given first?

I don’t know how many other similar meetings are taking place in The East End before the 4 May polling day. If there is any more left, it would be better to let the audience get to see the facts before expecting them to go one way or the other.

How about you lot councillor candidates, giving us those facts?

Why not give us the facts first and then let us decide?

Why should you even give us lectures?

We’ve been inundated with pleas for 'time to change’.

But how can it be changed if we keep being given the same boring routines?

Give us the facts of what is wrong now and tell us the facts of your realistic, reliable plans to make things different after polling day of you win or whatever

So Mr More Shid is being revived as a Ken Livingstone-congratulated leader!

04.05.2006 11:43

I couldn't help noticing the word congratulate occur in today’s East London Advertiser.

They have a brand new look on the picture of Mr Ken Livingstone's theft-charge-and-acquitted adviser [ex], Mr K Moreshid!

I wonder if the East London Advertiser is in an arrangement whereby they have to keep publishing images of this man who was not involved in anything in the East End that was without a cash link.

As the Liberal Councillors of 1990-94 could recall, Mr K Murshid was kept in the East by a Labour Party bureaucracy that needed to use its 'ethnic' face to get the votes.

Mr More Shid was an illegal entrant. and an illegal stayed in the UK.

Hr was subject to several deportation orders. None of those orders had any link with racism. He was a plain illegal.

The Labour Party organisational leaders kept him in the East End. And Mr More Shid served their purposes.

And he became very rich.
#
Not bad for a Bengali faking himself as a Sylhetti and then leaving Nasir the foolish Sylhetti boy to carry the can.

Mr Murshid should know a thing or two about cliques.

More..
