Crossrail attacks on East End – community betrayed by Tower Hamlets Council

AADHIKARonline | 12.09.2007 16:48 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | London | World

The Khoodeelaar! movement against Crossrail attacks on the East End created a new precedent in exposing the local Tower Hamlets Council during 'full council' held ion Tuesday 11 September 2007 at the 'town hall' sited AWAY fro most ordinary people in the Borough. The contents of what took place have far reaching implications for local people’s rights and by logical extension for the democratic rights of all in society. What was witnessed in the behaviour of he controlling clique of Blaring time serving careerists should give pause for a thought even to those who are too eager to back any slogan that involves increasing the monetary and career gains of those bent on grabbing positions and opportunities as local councillors.

Do they earn the right to betray the local communities and make way for Big Business and other forces bent on doing down the people who ordinary do not have biog money, big links and big networks? Should Tower Hamlets Councillors be allowed to act as the social uprooters of the people that make up the borough’s ordinary population today?

How did you think the controlling clique reacted

We refer here to the distortion of the facts - as was the contents of Joshua Peck who twisted what Abjol Miah had said

We refer here to Cllr Turner who misinterpreted what the movers of the main motion against Crossrail had said in their speeches

We refer to a certain other Crossrail hole plot-backer
who again lied on the floor of the Council chamber when he denied that there was opposition to Crossrail hole plot in the Bow East ward.

We refer to Abdal Ullah who repeatedly shouted 'Shame, Shame' to Cllr Lutfa Begum when she asked why the Brick Lane area had been targeted for the CrossRail hole

We refer to Abdal Ullah who taunted Cllr Lutfa Begum by asking ‘which community’ after she had clearly stated ‘the Bangladeshis’ in relation the targets of the Crossrail attacks

We refer to the factual contents of the original reports created by Khoodeelaar! and made available to Tower Hamlets councillors and to the council at no charge at all. We make this point about costs to emphasise the fact that Tower Hamlets Council controlling clique has admitted to spending nearly £1million on diverting the campaign attention way from the Council’s touting for Crossrail

We refer to the facts of the presentation of the Question by Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque and the very serious points made about the constitution of the UK and about the obligations of the Council to abide by the UK's treaty obligations in the context of Europe, about the Council’s failure to represent the community in the borough and the failure and or the refusal of the controlling clique to even begin to address the contents of the rest of his questions to be addressed by the controlling group.

We refer to the intended and the pathetically persistently ignorant and insulting and off the topic remark by Rupert Buaden

We refer t the untruthful assertion as made by Simon Rouse about CrossRail having been discussed [or 'debated'] in the Council “
