Khoodeelaar! on how Blair can just about avoid moral extinction

© Muhammad Haque | 02.06.2006 06:57 | Analysis | Social Struggles | London

Tony Blair is the only British Prime Minister to be derided as being morally deficient on such a regular basis and on such extensive scale. There is no chance of his being able to restore his political fortunes or opportunities to anything like even the level of 2003. The only hope he can have to leave office with any dignity is if he faces upto the truth of one gigantic error of his administration - the Crossrail project that is aimed at destroying some very disadvantaged people in a most vulnerable part of the inner city. If he faces upto the follies contained in the Crossrail scheme he can begin to be seen as a partially reasonable occupant of that office which he has squandered in so many spheres.

And he has a chance to do what will transform him into someone that is at least worth some time of the day!

Khoodeelaar! the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill assault on the people of the East End of London who have been threatened this huge devastation by the CrossRail hole Bill are about to give Blair the opportunity to avoid causing an environmental and social catastrophe to the East End. We are set to deliver the consolidated community demands against Crossrail Bill on Tuesday 6 June 2006

That is to coincide with the start on Tuesday [6 June 2006] of the Crossrail Bill Select Committee hearing the so-called formal petition by the local Tower Hamlets Council. We are protesting against the key contents of that petition as they are misleading and they are STILL pro-Crossrail-hole-plan and we are asking Tony Blair to listen to us rather than to Tower Hamlets Council because we know that the Tower Hamlets Council has been used wrongly and as an intuitional tout by the secret cravers of the scheme which will have to be funded by the injection of £20 billion of public money. We know that there is no evidence to back that scheme as far as the overall London economy is concerned. We know that Transport in London is not going to be improved by the setting up of the Crossrail scheme in its planned form as contained in the Crossrail Bill. The East End of London is going to lose out because of the Crossrail adventure that the UK [or the London or the East End] economy does not need.. There has been no accounting for the Millennium disaster. Nor have there been any real accounting of the huge public money that was lost in the many railways- linked mega-scale constriction and structural catastrophes over the decades. It is not right that Tony Blair, who has in a recent speech said that the Crossrail Bill should be handle sensibly, should let this Bill go ahead. The only sensible thing to do is to scrap the Crossrail Bill now, go back to the dawning board and start afresh. That is the only sensible way to use public money for public transport and to also pave the way for a halfway dignified departure for Tony Blair from the station he has been occupying at Number 10 these past nine years.

Beyond redemption

02.06.2006 11:05

I'm sorry but sparing the residents of an impoverished area of East London from CrossRail does not even begin to redeem Blair for his crimes against humanity, the total destruction of English Common Law, the transformation of Britain into a totalitarian corporate police state, collusion in disappearance and torture, and the abolition of parliamentary democracy. Blair is a Hitler. Does that sound hysterical? Blair has only just started.
