The UK House of Commons Crossrail Bill select committee is being made the focus of Tony Blair's office as Prime Minister today when the Khoodeelaar! campaign takes its demands to No 10 Downing Street and stages the first of a series of demonstrations against Crsosaril Bill in Westminster

The UK House of Commons Crossrail Bill select committee is being made the focus of Tony Blair's office as Prime Minister today when the Khoodeelaar! campaign takes its demands to No 10 Downing Street and stages the first of a series of demonstrations against Crsosaril Bill in Westminster

The Khoodeelaar! Campaign demand is simple and it is stated in straightforward terms

Mr Blair, spare the East End of London the blitzkrieg of Big Business Greed!

The Eats End of London is a most disadvantaged community,. Even by your own latest surveys. What the East End needs is the space and the stability to get on with making the life of the people better. Your plan which is flawed on hundreds of counts, will decimate the vital parts of the East End at a time when you need top show that you really remember the communities about whom you spoke so fervently ten years ago. Your vision of a New Britain was fashioned after all the best traditions of the communities struggle against authoritarian, undemocratic polices and selfishness and greed,. Your Crossrail hole Bill represents all of those bad tendencies. What are you going to do when you leave office, Mr Blair? Think proudly of how you helped Big Business destroy the East End of Lo0ndon?

You know that even the Montague Report ahs failed to find any evidence to support CrossRail plan as it is. You yourself have at last acknowledged in your recent speech that the CrossRail Bill needs to be handled sensibly. We are asking you Mr Blair that the sensible handling of the CrossRail Bill can only be seen if you listen to us when we tell you sensible things. The first sensible thing is that we are not asking you to give us money from the public purse,. But Crossrail is asking you to give them £ Billions of public money to steal, pocket and squander. Like the Millennium Dome. Like Channel Tunnel is now exposed as having been about in a big big way. Be sensible Mr Blair and think about this fundamental philosophical political an d ethical and moral conflict between Big business greed and the East End of London desperately struggling to get your attention to spare us the assault of the greed merchants who are after our small bits of land, our shops, our streets, our environment.

Why must there be these attacks Mr Blair, why must you attack one of the poorest and the most deprived of the English inner cities and that part of London which your own trusted friend Oona King had cited in her question to you in the House of Commons on 17 June 1998?

Did Oona King talk rubbish Mr Blair and did she sue the existence of East End deprivation merely to show that she cared, in a plastic sort of way? Is that why
Oona King did not support the community’s campaign against Crsosaril hole Bill, Mr Blair?

Are you getting the message Mr Blair?

Please leave the East End alone and scrap the CrossRail hole Bill attack on us NOW
