BBC fails to report on long battle and action against Crossrail hole in the East End of London - a post on Monday 18 June 2007

The community in the East End held a very effective demonstration against Education Secretary Alan Johnson last Wednesday. Johnson was stopping at 2 spots, curry houses, as part of the deputy Labour leadership contest in which he is a candidate. But Johnson was forced to confess that he didn't have the evidence to support Crossrail hole .Yet in the House of Commons, Johnson had voted for Crossrail. And he had loudly endorsed it, in words that could only have been scripted by Crossrail hole plan backer Ken Livingstone...


The failure by Alan Johnson to show he knew what he was talking about on Crossrail when he had been voting for it, was a significant piece of evidence showing the shallowness of the Crossrail scheme [just like the Millennium Dome, like the 2012 Olympics Games bid] .

Yet the BBC failed to report or to cover the event.

As the BBC have failed to cover all the demonstrations and campaign actions taking place in the area for over 3 years now against Crossrail.
