0740 Hrs GMT London Friday 30 January 2009: KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! The KHOODEELAAR! campaign began in the East End of London in the inner city, ‘most deprived borough in the country’ Tower Hamlets with the holding of a community public meeting at the ‘Montefiore Centre’ on Saturday 31 January 2004.That centre in the Hanbury/Deal Street London E1 was not called the ‘Montefiore Centre’ at the date of that meeting. The centre had been called ‘Bethnal Green Training Centre’ as one of the several ‘names’ given by the fabricating succession of ‘local authority regimes’ on the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council.. The KHOODEELAAR! campaign helped to re-establish the name ‘Montefiore Centre’ which is now called the Montefiore Centre. On that name and the significance,. More in a later commentary…Back to today marking the 5 years of the Campaign against CrossRail hole attacks on the East End of London. 31 January 2004 to 31 January 2009. Five years of campaign in defence of the community in the East End of London. Five years of arguments on economic grounds against the uneconomic Crossrail. Five years of consistently accurate predictions and forecasts that the City of London – peddled by Crossrail-promoter Ken Livingstone and now by his successor-in-peddling Boris Johnson as the ‘world class financial centre’ – was NOT an economic resource but a serious economic problem… Five years of analysis showing that Ken Livingstone's touting role as an agent of anti-Scottish sub-racism was part of the corruption of the evidence about the economic realities across the UK and that the way forward as to recognise the needs and the capacities of all regions in the UK. As opposed to the criminally irresponsible over-focus on the City of London which the likes of Michael Snyder, Judith Mayhew did with the aid of the self-serving careerist Ken Livingstone… Five years in which the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign has initiated some of the central economic debates about the entire world….. Including the role of the financial institutions in CREATING poverty, disparity as part and parcel of their ‘busyness’…. Five years during which time KHOODEELAAR! has said that the EXISTING transport infrastructure in London was in serious need of repair, that the existing transport infrastructure related to overwhelming number of travelling needs of the people of and in London, that the existing transport needs if addressed would solve the most urgent problems … FIIVE years in which KHOODEELAAR! has been showing up and drawing attention to the absurdity of the crassly conceived CrossRail hole scam being mysteriously promoted by cabal words and phrases like ‘vital’, ‘largest civil engineering project in Western Europe’ or sometimes ‘in the whole world’, instead of correlating it to the actual transport and the economic and the environmental needs in London….[To be continued]
