I bought a mini lunch for Kay Jordan and I two weeks ago today.. Then four of us shared it as we ended up discussing things spiritual. With Kay doing what she did best during such brief and unexpected diversions from the dire details of having to deal with the local Council’s wasteful bureaucratic deviations and distortions, encouraging the attempted discourse as she looked totally attentive as the listener, we successfully reached the highest narrative point in the journey that had taken place from Jerusalem and we came back to earthly planes with assertions that the latest claims by IT Geeks about ‘their achievements’ were as false and as much borrowed from ‘Divine revelations’ as had been so much of their previous, perennially perverted boasts!
We just about managed to include the summary versions of ‘nano technology’ before being reminded that the local Council was undeniably sinking deeper into a new age of darkness from which neither Divine intervention nor Evolution could rescue it! Our hearts sank accordingly as we hurriedly took note of our observational and empirical compasses!
Kay Jordan smiled as she joined in with her classic unique pithy remarks. She also chuckled at the tiny temporal jokes that we grabbed as we moved fast through the tenuous terranes of the very unpredictable bureaucracy being fed and boosted by Tower Hamlets Council at the expense of the basic services and standards needed by the local community.

Kay Jordan said that she was also very concerned about the social dislocation and destruction that the Crossrail hole would cause.
Khoodeelaar! Campaign against "Crossrail hole attacks" campaigner Kay Jordan confronted the many layers of the bureaucracy that had been set up by the real forces behind the scam. Time after time, Kay acted to get to the bottom of the technical claims that were being made by the bureaucracy exaggerating the need and the relevance to the economy of the Crossrail scam. Every time that she did face them, Kay found that the Crossrail peddling bureaucrats and place men failed to live upto the required standard of answerability or even factual base behind their claims. So after spending long hours going through both the mirrors of bureaucratic puff and suffering the endless repeats of the humanised propaganda outfit, she would return to the East End of London to share with the Campaign her latest experience and how totally frustrating the bureaucracy had been at obstructing transparency, answers and evidence ! Kay’s concerns were heightened by her accurate realisation that unless we stopped the plotted Crossrail hole assault, the social core, the architectural heart of the Brick Lane area would suffer irreparable damage and destruction. She spoke at the KHOODEELAAR! Manifesto Seminar held in March 2006 and below is one of the reports we published at the time of Kay Jordan’s contributions.[To be continued]
Quoting from our March 2006 reports:
London Architect Kay Jordan denounces Crossrail hole lies- Reports

Reports start with Kay Jordan’s address to the Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail-hole-Council Seminar
The Tower Hamlets Council lies on the Crossrail hole
Kay Jordan
Architect and
Director of the Spitalfields Small Business Association
[Brick Lane London E1 area]
Kay Jordan spoke of her long experience working in the community in the Brick Lane London E1 area.
She said that as an architect she knew how to look at a design and how to make sense of it. And to her, the Crossrail hole plan and design did not make sense.
Not when they were compared with the puff and the publicity that Crossrail had been making about the hole plan.
She said that she had also spoken to people with expert knowledge on tunnel construction and on railways.
In their views, the Crossrail hole plan was dodgy and unnecessary.
The devastation that the Crossrail hole would bring to the community in the Brick Lane London E1 area would be huge and irreparable.
Kay Jordan said that she was also very concerned about the social dislocation and destruction that the Crossrail hole would cause.
She said that she found it very hard to see any logic or reason in how the ‘Borough’ of Tower Hamlets [the Council] had behaved on the matter.
They had not told the truth and they had not shown any inclination that they cared much for the truth.
She referred to the Arup report which contained far more detailed acknowledgement of the warnings that Khoodeelaar! Campaign had been giving to Tower Hamlets Council about the hole than would be admitted by the present holders of controlling positions on Tower Hamlets Council
Kay Jordan also mentioned the fact that Crossrail had admitted to her to paying £1 million to Tower Hamlets Council for the ‘design’ alterations of the ‘Idea Store’ Whitechapel.
She said that she found that sum way out of proportion. Explaining the relationship between the cost and market value of the whole ‘Idea Store’ Building, she said that the sum of £1 Million seemed very dodgy and a mysterious amount for the alleged design alteration ‘work’.
There was more to that £1 Million payment by Crossrail to Tower Hamlets Council than may at first appear even from that portrait of Council misrepresentation of the Crossrail hole facts.

On 6 April 2009 we heard the then latest ‘definitive’ ‘official information’ that the Crossrail hole we had been campaigning to stop was not going to be foisted on the East End and that the shaft planned and provided for by the ‘Crossrail Bill’ to be imposed on the Hanbury Street [off Brick Lane] was also to be scrapped!
So to mark that moment - we had been marking moments like that since March 2006, of which more later, separately] - I contacted Kay Jordan and got hold of Carole Swords, Turon Miah and a few other Brick Lane area people as well. This is one of the pictures that I took by the wall at the corner of Hanbury Street and Spital Street [going to Allen Gardens] London E1. Behind the campaign supporters and on the wall was the slogan NO XRAIL HOLE that Kay Jordan had sprayed during one evening of solo painting she had contributed a few years earlier!
Seen in the picture here are [Right to left] Hanbury Street small business coop member Turon Miah, Kay Jordan, Carole Swords and a familiar Brick Lane area community member Abdul Ali Rouf. Others also standing behind the Khoodeelaar! No to “Crossrail hole” Campaign banner cannot be seen in the picture.
