Gordon Brown can still avoid being sunk in unconstitutionality by acting constitutionally and by letting Parliament actually SCRUTINISE the flawed, wasteful ‘Crossrail Bill’.

Even at this stage!

Has Gordon Brown got what it takes?

Instead of cold calling people at AM - or any other time - Brown should pay heed to the communities across the land and behave in accordance with the overwhelming cry for decent standards. Brown should scrap the superfluous, wasteful and plainly thieving hordes of time-servers, reduce the size of the quangos and actually attack the corruptocracy... that Tony Blair with Brown’s collusion, set up If Brown can do these things that most decent and genuine opinion wants to be done by the ‘Government’ then he can still turn things around and stay in office with credibility...

As the Khoodeelaar! campaign has shown time and again, the Crossrail hole scam is not the right answer to the transport needs of London.

Gordon Brown ha got to drop phrases like ‘big infrastructure projects’. He should start to think, talk about and act talk about the needs. And the standards, And the values...

Brown should also encourage something new. Something that I have been calling for ..... And something that most democratic opinion in this country - and beyond - will appreciate.

Can Brown show that he is for a genuinely vibrant season of accountability of the Executive by Parliament?


Will he show this by setting in motion an overdue scrutiny of the Crossrail Bill?

Below is one of the dozens of pieces that I have written and published in the past year showing the need to let Parliament, behave as a scrutinising.....

This is the latest confirmation of the NORM of the widespread abuse of Parliament and constitutionality by the executive in the UK. Either there is rule of law or there is not. Where have the opposition spokespeople been?

Why hasn't there been ANY move by the mainstream Opposition in the ˜elected' House of Commons to force compliance with the rule of law by the Executive?

Why haven THEY been the applicants for this judicial review of the highly corrupt behaviour by the Blairing regime?

This one is in the news because of the High Court action. How many thousands of similarly corrupt deals and decisions are being suppressed as we all hear about this particular one?

You say that Goldsmith is no longer in office. You mean that therefore he is exempt from liability for such an outrageous and open defiance of the rule of law! Is that acceptable? What kind of immunity must be allowed from answering on two of the most damaging violations he has committed against ethics and against constitutionality ?

How is Goldsmith able to get away like this, time after time?

Who are his de facto partners in the grand violations of the constitution?

Analysis: what next after High Court ruling on BAE?
Frances Gibb, Legal Editor
When Tony Blair, as Prime Minister, approached the Attorney-General, Lord Goldsmith, QC, to argue the case for the dropping of the corruption investigation into the BAE arms deal, he insisted that it was a matter ultimately for the Government’s chief law officer. But — justifying his approach — Mr Blair said that this was the “clearest case for intervention in the public interest he had seen”.

Today, delivering one of the most damning criticisms of ministers seen in the courts, Lord Justice Moses turned those same words on their head, saying: “We agree.”

The case, he said, was a paramount instance of the need for the courts to intervene and uphold the rule of law; to stand firm in the face of a threat and say the threat should have been resisted.

In doing so, the judge, sitting with Mr Justice Sullilvan, did not mince his words. Ministers, including the Prime Minister, had advised the Attorney-General and the Director of the Serious Fraud Office — then Robert Wardle — that to continue the investigation would have grave consequences, both for the arms trade and the safety of British citizens and service personnel. In light of what he regarded as a grave risk to life, the SFO director halted the investigation.

Dropping Saudi-BAE bribery probe 'unlawful'
His decision was challenged by the Corner House Research and Campaign Against the Arms Trade. Defending its position, the SFO argued that its director was entitled to surrender to the threat and said that the court should accept that, while a matter of “regret”, such threats were a “part of life”.

Today Lord Justice Moses and Mr Justice Sullivan unequivocally rejected that view: “so bleak a picture of the impotence of the law invites at least dismay, if not outrage”, Lord Justice Moses said. In a series of caustic comments he affirmed the importance of the courts in standing up for the law and savaged the SFO director for acting unlawfully in “buckling” to threats. Those threats, he said, had been aimed at this country’s legal system.

He said: “It is difficult to identify any integrity in the role of the courts to uphold the rule of law, if the courts are to abdicate in response to a threat from a foreign power.”

And: “We fear for the administration of justice if it can be perverted by a threat.”

He concluded: “No one, whether within this country or outside, is entitled to interfere with the course of justice.”

So what now? The SFO is considering the judgment, and could of course appeal. The Government is likely to fight tooth and nail to resist any pressure that it re-open an investigation that could damage Saudi relations — commercially, diplomatically and above all in terms of counter-terrorism intelligence.

As the judgment stands, it is likely that the SFO would have at least to revisit its decision to halt the inquiry. Whether that would mean that it came to another conclusion and reopened the whole investigation is another matter.

A fresh case would be made as to the likely damage to security and terrorism; and this time there could be no argument as to the loss of what the Government called “the largest export contract” in the past decade, the procurement of the next generation of attack aircraft — the Typhoon — because the deal is done.

As for the law officers: Lord Goldsmith has already gone from office, as has the SFO director, Robert Wardle, who will be gone in ten days' time. But the SFO’s reputation is severely damaged. Although it now has a new director, he will have a job on his hands to restore it.

As for relations between ministers and the Attorney-General, Lord Goldsmith’s legacy — not least because of BAE — was to prompt a review. His successor, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, QC, has succeeded in fighting of calls for the role to be reformed significantly. Some may now think that decision by ministers premature.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Is it a crime to damage a good business releationship between Saudi Arabia and UK PLC?

Perhaps it is not good business etiquite but at least the UK leaders do not tell downright lies on the world stage as in some other "sort of" English speaking countries. Is this not just a simple case of sour grapes?
T mOORE, GOSPORT, UK
They're all guilty but what can anyone do about it?
paul, poole, gb
It is commendable that something like this involving bribery and threats from another country has been brought into the public domain. But how many times has it happened and we hear nothing of it?

What now for UK/Saudi relations? Are they far from Iraq...
Brett Sinclair, monaco,
Perverting the course of justice. As clear a case as there can be, and no-one is denying it. Surely then, Tony Blair has committed a crime.

Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail hole QUESTIONS to Tower Hamlets Council...

Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail hole QUESTIONS to Tower Hamlets Council...


Editor©Muhammad Haque

Friday 30 may 2008


These began to be put to the Tower Hamlets Council in February 2004.

We have continued the interrogative communications for the 53 months that have followed.

There have been no answers to the questions.

There have been some utterances that have contained some references to aspects only of our questions. But there have been no answers.

How could that be?

the clique that has been in control of the Council - the clique about which there has been no 'news', 'comment' 'letter' in the ‘local’ ‘newspaper’ the EAST LONDON IDIOTISER except in the one off piece by KHOODEELAAR! published in the IDIOTISER during 2007 - has a lot to hide. It is not a legitimate grouping. It is an illegitimate grouping made up of un-elected personnel which dictates the policy to the formally and the actually elected personnel. The controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council not answerable to any legitimate, independent, objective forum or indeed to the people at large in the Borough

The ‘outside’ forum or the local newspaper’ as typified by the ‘East London Idiotiser’ do not raise any questions about that clique.

There is thus an agenda to keep Tower Hamlets corrupt. By all the ‘formal and the de facto agencies’ that make their trade in the name of the ordinary people of the area known as ‘the London Borough of Tower Hamlets’.

This then makes the cause and the case for accountability that much harder to make.

As we shall show in our next examination of the role that the ‘East London Idiotiser’ has been performing for the apparent benefit of ‘Denise Jones’ ‘as leader’...


[To be continued]

When the inner city, 'most deprived' boro’ Tower Hamlets Council is controlled by agents of Big Business, the community can't afford to stand by..

When the inner city, 'most deprived' boro’ Tower Hamlets Council is controlled by agents of Big Business, the community can't afford to stand by..




That is one of the key reasons why the Khoodeelaar! campaign against the CRASSrail hole plot-inviting controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council has been putting so many questions to ‘the Council’.

It is a delicate difference. That between ‘the Council’ and the ‘controlling clique’ on the Council.

Khoodeelaar! ADVOCATES for there to be a legitimate, an honest, a competent, representative and accountable Council that looks after and looks out for the whole community.

That is why we make the distinction between what ought to be. And what in fact is.

That is why we have maintained all along the ethical practice of not naming employees of the Council. Except Owen Whalley and Christine Gilbert. So far.

If we referred to any other employe, that would be only a continuation of already published sources.


As an ethical rule of our own, Khoodeelaar! campaign does not want to see the distinction disappear.

That is our ethical record and position. And our ethical policy.

Does the controlling clique respect the ethics?

Or any ethics?

We shall be updating on the evidence of the controlling clique’s misconduct in promoting the Crassrail hole agenda.

And in the evidence, it will be seen just how lacking i ethics, morality and accountability the controlling clique is, has been. And continues to remain...


And why it is even more necessary now than before that the community campaign against the misrepresentation by Tower Hamlets Council il controlling clique is kept up...

[To be continued]

Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail searched in vain for evidence of opposition in UK Parliament....We had to cite Cromwell..!

1510 Hrs GMT 1610 Hrs UK Time London Friday 30 May 2008:

KHOODEELAAR! No to Crossrail hole plot UPDATE on Friday 30 May 2008 shows up the charade that is the UK Houses of Parliament..... As seen in the willing servility to the executive as exhibited in the behaviour of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ ‘select committee ‘ fronted by the place man Alan Meale and his ‘opposition’ [what ‘opposition’] place men and place women ....

As Khoodeelaar! had predicted in December 2005, within hours of the announcement being made that a ‘select committee’ had been set up, there was no chance in a million years that the ‘select committee’ would allow the evidence against Crossrail to be put on the record before the committee. As we also correctly predicted, the ‘ Crossrail Bill’ ‘select committee’ in the UK House of Commons that had just been announced [December 2005] would behave like a stooge committee.

As it in fact did. And we then predicted, in November 2007 when we first became directly involved in communications wit the part of the ‘House of Lords’ concerned with the ‘Crossrail Bill’] that UNLESS some members of the ‘House of Lords’ [what an affront to all of us who do not consider any human being to be worthy of being called a lord!] showed by their conduct that they UNDERSTOOD what the duties of a constitutionally active legislative Upper chamber of a democratic and accountable Parliament had to do and UNLESS they did accordingly and constitutionally and unless they behaved in manifestly honest, intellectually competent, ethically transparent, objectively independent way,,, they would discredit the ‘case for the House of Lords’... We went on to give them support, encouragement and advice...

We did so in our direct communications as addressed to the bureaucracy set up ‘ within the House of Lords’ for the purpose of ‘the formal treatment of the Crossrail Bill’. As we did in published comments including in those carried in particular on the Times newspaper web site....

And we did so for the simple purpose of backing the movement for democracy in the UK, the movement for accountability in and via Parliament to the people, and in the particular case on the CRASSLY conceived, Big Business-agenda Crossrail scam. And we called for an end to the wasteful plot via Crossrail that was just afoot.... in the ‘Upper House’, ‘ via’ the ‘Upper House’..... We also examined the history of the ‘House of Lords’.. and we referred to Oliver Cromwell... and said that so dire, so empty, so barren has been the field of formally instituted opposition in and via parliament in britain that we looked in vain over records of centuries to find any significant acton that was taken to bring the illegitimate elements that made up the ‘House of Lords’ to book.... as it were... We did all of this in order to tell the servile time servers that we were NOT impressed by their records generally and that unless they showed they were willing to tell the truth about the people’s serious objections against Crossrail they, the ‘House of Lords’ members concerned would go down as contributing yet more to discredit the already largely illegitimate and discredited ‘House’.. And so they have done..... [To be continued]

Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail hole Bill points out the absence in the UK of a line of accountability to the public by public decision makers

KHOODEELAAR! No to Crossrail! Khoodeelaar! No to wasteful Crossrail!
Khoodeelaar! No to unaccountable Crossrail hole plot scam! Khoodeelaar! No to unconstitutionality in the UK Parliament! Khoodeelaar! No to unconstitutional conduct by the so-called quasi-judicial unjudicial sub-bureaucracy set up under the banner of parliament....


Khoodeelaar! the campaign against additional impoverishment to the inner city East End that as plotted to be perpetrated via Crossrail hole scam...


The exchange of blame that has been taking place over the past 30 hours between ‘Network Rail’ and the Transport for London bureaucracy over the Brick Lane bridge collapse - note that phrase, ‘Brick Lane bridge collapse’ , because ALL the ‘media’ are omitting the name ‘Brick Lane’ where the actual collapse happened on wednesday night - illustrates the ‘tradition’ of negligence and lack of accountability on the parts of those responsible for the work....


The ‘tradition’ is to do with the fact that overall, there no clear line of accountability for public service management... ‘Public’ is used here in the widest possible sense, whether wholly ‘owned’ by the state or partly owned by the state...

There is no direct port of call for the public, ordinary people, passengers, users and fees-and-tax-and-fare-payers holding those responsible for any mishap or accident or disaster to account....This lack of accountability institutionally is a feature of the UK which is allegedly to have had a continuous democratic parliament for the longest period .....

.What does that Parliament actually do? What does it deliver? When MPs are being only derided as thieves and crooks ... where TonY blair partly left office not because of Gordon Brown’s undermining him but because Blair in office had become discredited due to the fact that he was linked with sleaze... cash for honours... cash for access....When the ‘legislative’ [what a joke] ‘House of Lords Crossrail Bill Select Committee’ ‘met’ to ‘hear objections’ [ooops! ‘petitions.]



Khoodeelaar! NO to corruption in Parliament... No to Corrupt conduct via Crossrail hole Bill 'Select Committee' in the 'House of Lords'... Exposing the open, brazen lies that they told for Big Business and for suppressing the basic right to put forward evidence of the crassness of Crossrail hole scam... How the 'legislative' 'House of Lords' 'select committee' was a stooge committee, how it was used as a stooge outfit to peddle the lies for Big Business... How the Big Business, Bechtel-craved, wasteful, obsolete, City of London-peddled Crossrail hole plot-backers took over the bureaucracy in the UK Parliament....
