KHOODEELAAR! No to Tower Hamlets Council collusion with POVERTY-CREATING Crossrail agenda…


Texts [below] of the formal KHOODEELAAR! objections, as contained in the Agenda for Tower Hamlets Council’s full meeting on Wednesday 17 December 2008. KHOODEELAAR! historical note on campaign against role of Tower Hamlets Council.….on Wednesday 1 March 2006, the then Councillor [for the Weavers ward] Louise Alexander tabled a motion against the Crossrail hole plan… Her motion was in essence the same as the demand of the Khoodeelaar! campaign. For party reasons, Louise Alexander’s motion was slightly different, only in parts. The rest of the motion was identical to Khoodeelaar! The controlling clique at the meeting of 1 March 2006 orchestrated a manifestly dishonest ploy in order to prevent Louise Alexander’s motion against Crossrail hole from being debated in the Council Chamber. That event has not been reversed by any of the meetings that have taken place since then. No councillor, from any identifiable political grouping or party, has come forward with a motion against Crossrail holes scam.… This may appear to be insignificant.. Until we point out the fact that ALL the councillors on Tower Hamlets Council were going out of their way to appear on TV.….. And say that they OPPOSED the Crossrail holes attacks on the community! THEY all said or suggested or implied that THEY ALL OPPOSED the Crossrail hole attacks on the community.…When were they doing that? They were doing that in January 2006.… [To be continued]

5.2.2 Petition from the Khoodeelaar! Campaign regarding Crossrail
“We the undersigned electors, residents, traders and work and community
and socially-related daily and regular visitors of the area known as the London
Borough of Tower Hamlets support this formal petition organised by the
Khoodeelaar! Campaign as per the constitutional rights of the community –
against the planned Crossrail holes and other implied and foreseeable attacks
on the East End of London – to the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Borough Council for
that Council’s formal decision-making at and via the scheduled ‘meeting of the
full council’ on 17 December 2008. We support ALL the written and other
communicated questions, queries, demands and representations as made to
Tower Hamlets Council by KHOODEELAAR! And we support the latest
updated contents and implications and demands of the same campaign as
made to all the relevant employees, officers and members of the said Tower
Hamlets Council between January 2004 and now, November 2008. We
oppose the Crossrail holes. We oppose the Tower Hamlets Council’s role in
backing the Crossrail holes plan and other planned attacks and policies. We
call on Tower hamlets Council to drop their backing of the poverty-creating,
discrimination- perpetuating, uneconomic Crossrail hole plot, plan and
scheme.”
