Why did the BBC Politics Show carry that report?

The simple answer is that that week in March 2006 was one of several defining moments in the past [almost] 6 years of the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign in defence of the East End of London.


Two practical factors were at play: One the Khoodeelaar! Campaign had just announced final arrangements to actually file High Court action against the then UK Transport Minister Alistair Darling [who would have been sued on 27 March 2006]. Two the 2006 ‘local council elections’ were just over 5 weeks away.

The contextual importance of that time was also linked with and followed from the international publicity the Khoodeelaar! Campaign had achieved in the previous two months.


People in the UK were aware of the Khoodeelaar! Defence of the community in the East End of London as against the powers and the resources of Big Business and of their stooged UK government bureaucracy.

The Khoodeelaar! Intervention in the ‘local council election campaign’ was conducted in such a way that the corrupt clique on Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole-inviting Council read – MISTAKENLY – that Khoodeelaar! was about to take part in the election by FIELDING candidates of its own and thus threatening the petty careers of any number of cliquester-councillors on Tower Hopeless Council. That misreading by the clique was not their only serious mistake. They misunderstood the Khoodeelaar! Campaign and sought to treat it as ‘another campaign’.

By that they meant that Khoodeelaar! was a campaign [any other campaign that the corrupt Councill had been used to...] to make petty or any sort of career for its organisers. So the Crossrail hole-inviting Tower Hamlets Council controlling clique tried to stage a coup, trying to bribe certain members of the community. They failed…The Khoodeelaar! Campaign collected organisational and ethical reinforcements and on that basis mounted the constitutional law legal challenge intending to bring out Alistair Darling and force him to answer charges in a Court of law.


One already long standing question that Khoodeelaar! would have asked Alistair Darling to answer in court was to do with his assertion on record [Hansard 22 February 2005] that the contents of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ that he formally tabled in the UK House of Commons on that date [22 February 2005] were ‘compatible’ with the [European Human Rights] Conventions.

The other key question which Khoodeelaar! had asked, typically exclusively as the evidence shows on the ‘Crossrail hole agenda scam as packaged and passaged through the UK Houses of Parliament’, was to do with Alistair Darling’s mis-use of his powers as the cabinet minister in the UK Govt. in making available £100 Million of UK public money to the Transport for London and the then contrivance CLRL under Section 6 of the particularly corruptly passaged ADDITIONAL legislation the ‘Railways Act 2005’ .[To be continued]
