East End of London points the way to Blair to save any remaining 'honour'

Just as the London Metropolitan Police were fielding [on Tuesday 30 January 2007] of the huge media questions over the latest arrest Blair-peer Levy in connection with the cash for sleaze system that keeps some in the UK Parliament’s upper chamber the so-called House of Pee-ers, a deputation of people from probably the poorest, the most deprived part of inner city England, arrived at No 10 Downing Street. The deputation delivered a hand written letter giving Blair probably the most valuable and crucial advice anyone had ever given him whilst he was still in occupation of the post that is identified with that address, to save his fast disappearing legacy.

7/7: Angels & agents of Tavistock Square

The agents were conspicuous, diligently adhereing to their tasks, proceeding busily, workman like. Apart from the obvious foot soldiers, (the blokes in blue) there were one or two more covert ones that stuck in my mind. Their cover was blown, not because of what they did, but because of what they didn’t do......... Read more >>

Khoodeelaar! Demo today in Westminster against Crossrail hole Bill

Today's Independent newspaper FrontPage is devoted to a report on ex MP Alice Mahon's campaign for a properly funded NHS. Alice Mahon's own eye sight is in need of treatment. But she can't get treatment as her local Primary Health Care Trust is negligent and has got its priorities wrong. This illustrates just how wrong those who make decisions about public money can be . The only way that they can be stopped from abusing their positions is by taking a stand against the wrongs that they do. Like the promoters of the Crossrail Bill, who have assumed that there would be no opposition to the crass plans, no matter how dangerous, lethal and violating of the people the Crossrail hole plan is. The promoters have operated on the assumption that most people are political and social zombies and will not take stands to defend their human social environmental economic community and democratic rights. In most cases, they have got that right. Not so in relation to the Crossrail hole attacks plan against the Brick Lane and Whitechapel London E1 Area community. It is a very deprived community. The last thing it needs is additional deprivation being heaped on it by Crossrail hole plotters. Read more >>
