KHOODEELAAR!  No to “the Big Business agenda scam CrossRail” and the campaign in defence of the community in the East End of LONDON continuing to ask 'wannabe MP candidates' in the name of the two constituencies in Tower Hamlets, what, if anything, would they do if 'elected' to go to the UK House of Commons following the imminent general election. Here we update on our exclusive report, which we had started on Monday this week on the launch of the appeal by Kabir Mahmud for support by the local community. He is standing as an ‘independent’   candidate to represent Poplar and Limehouse, in effect held by Jim Fitzpatrick in the current UK Parliament.


I had waited almost three hours from 1700 Hrs GMT until almost about 2000 Hrs GMT on Monday before hearing what a new candidate for election ‘as MP’ for the constituency of Poplar and Limehouse [in the OTT-spied on Tower Hamlets, East London] to the UK House of Commons was going to say about his suitability for the task. As I reported at 2250 GMT [29 March 2010], I was able to ask him about the scandal of failing schools in the borough and the unacceptable level of tolerance for such failures amongst those who posed as organs of ‘community opinion’. What would Kabir Mahmud do, as a prospective MP for one half of the Borough of Tower Hamlets, to alleviate the depressing dire state of underachievement that was the pattern of the schools in the main? I also asked him as a contextual subsidiary, what would be his role to reverse the trend of servitude that was so embarrassingly evident in the role played by the ethnicity linked propaganda ‘media’ operating from addresses sited in the Borough of Tower Hamlets.  To that question, I did not receive a reply that I could coherently report on the night. I shall do so again later on this evening [Thursday 01 April 2010].  How? I am 'hoping' [as a theoretical possibility as opposed to as a certainty] to find out a little more about the candidate’s plans than he was able to offer when asked about it on Monday.

KHOODEELAAR! Noting a report in a Rupert Murdoch-ed London Times blog claiming that a 1990s 'Crossrail Bill' had been Stopped by a group of MPs, only 4, who gave no reason for their action but did scupper the then Crossrail Bill. We shall investigate in the near future the further details of that event. For now, we are carrying the texts of that Times blog. However, we can say that according o the Times blog, the alleged chair of the 4 strong group of MPs said that they were acting as a JURY when they stopped the [then] Crossrail Bill in the early 1990s. Khoodeelaar! Question is: were they perhaps already aware of the Crassness behind Crossrail, even in that 1990s form? Is that why they treated the scam as a 'criminal offence’?

Oliver Kamm « Blair's message | All Posts | Caliban's return » March 30, 2010 Tories aim high The BBC reports: 'John Marek, the former Wrexham Labour MP and AM who left the party because he said it had moved too far to the right, has joined the Conservatives. 'The former Welsh assembly deputy presiding officer said Tory leader David Cameron's "social conscience" was behind his decision. Dr Marek, 69, became an independent after leaving Labour, and then founded a left-wing party, Forward Wales. 'Labour reacted by saying he was on a "weird and winding political journey".' The name John Marek is unlikely to mean much to you. In case he takes part in any election campaign, let me put in the public record his most notable political act as an MP. There used to be a parliamentary procedure, dating from the 19th century, under which a small group of MPs had the ability to decide on schemes to build private roads and canals. It was abolished in 1993, but not before a four-member committee had assessed the CrossRail bill - a £2.7 billion proposal to improve the rail infrastructure of London. It would have reduced congestion and and journey times. The committee chairman was a bizarre Tory MP called Tony Marlow who in 1988 called for the return of the stocks as a form of punishment and whose sophisticated critique of the European Exchange-Rate Mechanism was that "the over-mighty Hun" had raised interest rates. He was supported in rejecting the CrossRail bill by the two Labour members of the committee - one of whom was Marek. Marlow declined to give reasons for the decision, on the imaginative grounds that he and his colleagues were acting like a jury. A new Crossrail scheme is being built, connecting Paddington and Canary Wharf, at huge expense - between £10 billion and £16 billion. I'm no expert on the economics of transport, but it seems to me completely obvious that the existing network is inadequate and highly expensive to maintain. The annual running costs of maintaining the Tube greatly exceeed - by about £500 million - the fare revenue of around £1.4 billion. Perhaps there were good reasons that Marek rejected the then Crossrail scheme in 1994, but he never stated his reasons. I hope that if he surfaces at public meetings now he'll be pressed on them.

Then there was his subsequent career when he wrote to the RMT in 2002 telling them not to give any money to Labour because it was too like the Tories, and after being deselected as Labour candidate he set up his own far left party. Believe me, 'wierd and winding road' isn't the half of it. POSTED BY: DAVID BOOTHROYD | 30 MAR 2010 22:45:03 "called for the return of the stocks as a form of punishment" Really? So not all bad then!

POSTED BY: JOHN GREGORY FLINN | 31 MAR 2010 13:46:25 Good for Tony Marlow, he was able to sum up in four words something that taken the entire European financial press about 15 years and bazillions of articles to work out.
