Khoodeelaar! constitutional law grounds for action against UK Crossrail hole plot promoter Ruth Kelly MP - Legal action archives

Long before the Crossrail Bill Select Committee [House of Commons] formally 'heard' some of the evidence against the CrossRail hole Bill threat to the Brick Lane and Whitechapel London E1 area, Khoodeelaar! the campaign against CrossRail had decided on a set of actions that included a specific constitutional dimension. After witnessing the blatant obstruction against key presenters of anti-CrossRail evidence in the Committee during June 2006, Khoodeelaar! Has now decided to test the UK law in a way that will perhaps bring the Human Rights Act 1998 into very unexpected focus.

1. The main constitutional law allegation that I could find against the Secretary of State was that he lied in and to Parliament, he misled parliament and he wrongly failed to tell the House of Commons fully and duly of the requirement that UK law had to comply with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental freedoms.

2. That was based on the preliminary and literal reading of the contents of the Crossrail Bill, as introduced to the House of Commons by [the then] Transport Secretary Alistair Darling on 22 February 2005.

3. Having observed since that date the many activities of the Transport Secretary and the rest of the groupings that make up the ‘promoter’ of the Crossrail Bill, it is clear that compatibility with constitutional requirements is not at the top of the priorities of the UK executive seeking to get the Crossrail Bill through Parliament.

4. It has been clear from the behaviour of the two successive holders of the office of Secretary of State at the UK Department for Transport over the past 24 months that compliance with the Treaty obligations on ECHR is nothing more than a nuisance to them and to the Blair regime. They have shown remarkably consistent evidence of hostility to the rule of law and due process and constitutionality for the promotion of the CrossRail project

5. It was only through the sustained campaign on the ground over the past 31 months backed up with original Khoodeelaar!! Legal analyses of the UK executive's behaviour that we have been able to show that the Secretary of State was wrong to have introduced the Crossrail Bill in the shape it was introduced and that he was wrong to have flouted the UK’s constitutional law making treaty obligations that he did.

Especially, as I have pointed out on dozens of occasions already including in pieces carried on indymedia UK and international sites, about the abuses of the executive powers to make several hundred million £ available to the promoters without any justification.

That abuse of public money has included the abuses of the local tiers of peoples and community representation.

Where Ruth Kelly herself lives, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council has been one abysmally antidemocratic, anti-community, cabal of corruption, misrepresentation of the local people that is found anywhere in the whole of the UK.


And has Ruth Kelly’s aid a word in opposition to the corrupt Tower Hamlets Council?
Has she spoken a word in support of the community that is threatened by Crossrail?


To those who have sought to make light of our legal action programme, we can only say, WATCH this space.

KHOODEELAAR! constitutional law campaign against Big Business agenda 'Crossrail Bill' updating on the utter bankruptcy of the UK 'mainstream' media...

KHOODEELAAR! the inner city, East London No to "Crossrail hole scam" CAMPAIGN, TOLD YOU SO! That the ‘meeja’ the mainstream newspapers and their web sites, are liars.

And as the BBC and ITV ..... On the matter of Crossrail, Channel 4 News told a bit of the truth when it reported in October 2007 that Gordon Brown had made the £Billions of funding commitment AGAINST the advice of Rod Eddington, Brown's very own expert on railways.......


That they either lie or they are late....That the likes of ‘The Journal’, published from Newcastle in the North East of England, are stuffed full of garbage in the place of facts and evidence. That they do not tell the truth about the morons that sit in the UK House of Commons. that they never hold the MPs to account for THEIR lies... That the lack of sense and the lack of evidential journalism is stark and brazenly present in ALL the ‘mainstream,’ publications. That that is why lying MPs get away with lying and letting their communities down.

Routinely.

ALL of the ‘MPs’ quoted and or implied by the JOurnal in Newcastle today BACKED the crassly conceived Big Business looters’ scam CROSSRAIL. NOt one of them spoke out in the House of Commons against that scam.... So the fact that they are even making a squeaky reference ‘against’ Crossrail is very much suspect....

THEY ARE acting from ulterior motives....That the so-called disclosure [see below] by ‘The Journal’ in Newcastle today is no disclosure whatever. That KHOODEELAAR! has initiated the analysis and that KHOODEELAAR! has maintained this analysis fro years. And yet the lying ‘mainstream’ ‘journals’ and the “Journal’ have continued to pretend that they have not seen the analysis and that they have not heard of the analysis... Now the lying ‘mainstream’ is coming out with itsy bitsy acknowledgement and giving the ‘MPs’ the grotesquely un deserved positive image as ‘concerned MPs’... They are NOT concerned for the communities... The ONLY CONCERN these time-servers have is about and for THEIR pathetic careers as MPs... And their ‘anxiety’ that they may get voted out and they may lose the dosh.. and the perks and the pay..... .......
