KHOODEELAAR! first tributes to Daniel Denis Flood, East End campaigner

0250 Hrs GMT London Sunday 22 March 2009: KHOODEELAAR! the campaign in defence of inner city East End of London community against the “City of London-operated Big Business Crossrail agenda...” tributes to Daniel ‘Denis’ Flood. KHOODEELAAR! notes the role Denis played as a spontaneous defender of the community against the wrongdoings of the local Council and all that the Thatcherite agencies do and represent... The passing of Daniel Denis Flood is a serious loss to the community … KHOODEELAAR! will be publishing factual tributes to him in the course of the coming weeks, months and beyond... Daniel Denis Flood was present at many KHOODEELAAR! events against Crossrail agenda.… On a significant demonstration outside the Ken Livingstone ‘City Hall’ in June 2007, ‘Denis’ was able to hand out the KHOODEELAAR! contextual commentary linking Robert Clive with Ken Livingstone's role as a tout for Big Business... Denis possessed a rarely seen ability to take the initiative to stand up, physically, for the community. He showed this on countless occasions outside the Tower Hamlets Council. As he did in other parts of the East End of London, and elsewhere in London. Daniel Denis Flood was dedication and loyalty personified. Beneath the ordinary exterior lived a human being with a huge reserve of genuine care and concern. Denis was a tireless campaigner... Despite having to contend with a surprisingly unsuspected illness, Daniel Denis Flood spent the last few months of his life still wanting to do what he did best: think of others.
