KHOODEELAAR! No to “:Crossrail hoe plot Big Business Agenda" CAMPAIGN
1758 Hrs GMT London Friday 16 May 2008
How can Gordon Brown, who persisted in claiming to be competent all day on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 May 2008, ignore these writings and carry on the pretence? UNless of course he too believes that he is politically about to become a gonner? SCRAP the lying, Gordon and scrap the lies-fuelled, lies-filled Crossrail scam. It is typical of the malady, the disease that underlies the crisis of crass capitalistic corruption of resources and of the ‘government’.... Now even the small business organisations are crying FOUL at Crossrail funding scam... Where is your prudence, Gordoin.... Be prudent and listen and scrap this one NOW [To be continued]

Business calls for supplement rethink
By Jonathan Russell
Last Updated: 12:24am BST 16/05/2008
The Government is facing another tax row with the business community over plans outlined this week to make businesses pay for up to £5bn of local infrastructure projects.
Business groups including the CBI, the British Chambers of Commerce, British Retail Consortium and the Institute of Directors are calling on the Government to rethink the implementation of Business Rate Supplements.
David Frost, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "Businesses face a very tough economic environment... there is the potential for a lot of additional taxes such as road pricing, taxes on parking and now supplementary business rates. The public sector needs to wake up to the role business plays in supporting the economy, it cannot just keep raising taxes."

The limited guidance revealed this week did little to allay fears that councils might use the new powers to boost general tax revenue rather than pay for specific schemes. The Government said it would allow councils to raise business rates, set at 46.2pc of rateable value for 2008/9, by two percentage points.
Last year the Institute for Public Policy Research calculated that the levy could cost businesses £350m a year, income used to pay for infrastructure projects worth about £5bn.
Businesses will have little or no control on how the money is spent. Business leaders want the Government to allow affected companies a vote on whether the tax should be levied and input on how the money is spent.
Tom Ironside, a policy expert at the British Retail Consortium, said: "This is potentially the biggest change to how local authorities raise money for 20 years. We are arguing for a strengthening of safeguards in the legislation. We want businesses to be allowed to vote on the implementation of the taxes and are looking for clarity on what schemes could use this kind of funding."
The only significant business organisation that is supporting Business Rate Supplements is London First, which represents companies in the capital. As the new levy will be used to pay for about a third of the cost of London's proposed new east-west rail link, Crossrail, the tax is crucial to the project's success.
London First says that as the new tax will be levied only on businesses with a rateable value of £50,000, it will effectively be restricted to London.
But with the growing number of extra local taxes on areas such as car parking, road pricing, the community and infrastructure levy, the majority of business groups are firmly opposed to the tax in its current form.
Institute of Directors director general Miles Templeman said: "The Government claims that it is in 'listening mode' yet the representations made by the IoD and others on Business Rates Supplement have been wholly ignored. These government plans are so damaging that an immediate rethink is required."

Gordon Brown must drop the cheap play of imitating the Muslim emperor!

Gordon Brown owes a hasty apology- for backing the sinking Crossrail scam
Why must Gordon Brown apologise?
For making up scenarios that are founded on weak ground.
His staged list of draft legislation is bound to be exposed sooner than he thinks.
And he must not imitate that Muslim emperor, either!
Not until the Muslim emperor's work has been truthfully assessed!
Grandstanding on 'major projects' 'infrastructure' etc. is almost akin to what a really cynical Tony Blair would approve of.
That sort of behaviour takes the rigour away and makes the 'emperor' [pretend or real] to look for substantial than the substance of his work.
Gordon Brown was wring to tag along with the sinking careerist Ken Livingstone and appear on a stage in canary Wharf with him, singing the praise of the sinking project CRASSrail.
Sinking because CRASSrail will sink more than a few £Billion of ordinary peoples' precious cash....

Quoting from the KHOODEELAAR! e-mail to the UK legislative House of Lords 'committee personnel' that were in place at 8 November 2007 when the Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser started the first of the constitutional law communications against the 'Crossrail Bill'.
In November 2007, the 'Crossrail Bill' was months away from being the formal subject of a formally active 'Select Committee' in the 'House of Lords. But preparations were being made at that stage.
In advance of those preparations, Khoodeelaar! accurately predicted the following:-
“
I hope that when the matter is eventually in the House of Lords, we shall not be obstructed or otherwise violated, diverted, frustrated or denied by any member of the committee staff or by anyone else involved, concerned or engaged.”

Boris Johnson must get this: Crossrail is a scam, a ploy, a diversion of massive public resources to enrich the big companies...

If ‘cost’, ‘cost-effectiveness’, ‘need’, ‘access’, ‘function’, ‘productivity’ ‘time and motion’ [and a thousand more words, phrases and concepts of daily application] mean anything they only ever do mean anything when they are found to be true.
That is why any of those has lasted.
When any word or phrase is found to be unsound, it goes out of circulation and its ‘use’ cannot be justified.
And so is the case with ‘transport’.
It cannot be right for anyone to equate a particular, seriously flawed scam to an entire area of human activity.
When I told [in a series of highly pub pcsied comemnts] Boris Johnson in September 2007 that he should show that he had higher morality than Ken Livingstone I meant that he must not do things like making the stupid comments that he has begun to make peddling Crossrail.
I know for a fact that Boris Johnson has NOT written ever about economics. Not really. Not ‘appreciably;y. seriously or ‘appreciably’ significantly.... He has not done so on most matters and issues that he will now have to get to understand and deal with.
If he can show that he understands transport in London then I will be the first to reasonably welcome that and shall go along with anyone who wants to allow him to say what is demonstrably relevant on the matter.
But he has not ‘become elected mayor in the name of London’ even two weeks, and he has been over-uttering for Crossrail.
It is a stupid thing to have done.
Crossrail is NOT transport.
Crossrail was NEVER transport.
Crossrail will not be transport.
The entire scheme is an excuse, a pretext, a cover for the Blairing regime that Gordoin Brown is looking for plausible-sounding pretexts to fund their colluders in Big Business.
The transport needs of and in London are a million miles way from the lying propaganda about CRASSrail hole plot.
Boris Johnson must find out enough about transport in London before making any utterances like the ones he has already made for the seriously flawed and the crassly conceived and the unconstitutionally promoted [through the UK Parliament] Crossrail hole scam...

Boris Johnson must not repeat the lies that Ken Livingstone practised.
Boris Johnson must not tell ANY lies at all.
This is easier said than realised.
Looking at Boris Johnson's contradictory statements about all sorts of issues already, Khoodeelaar! campaign against “Big Business-craved Crossrail hole plot” has today this statement to make to Boris Johnson:
If you think that the Tory opportunists and sleaze-baggers already visible on all parts of your entourage will not sink you, you could not be more wrong.
You have no duty to make stupid comments backing CRASSrail, Not yet anyway.
You may find that Ken Livingstone has left you more poisoned 'legacies' than you ever would have wished for...
Crossrail IS THE FIRST that is the most expensive one of those
So do NOT go uttering idiocies 'for Crossrail'. Not yet...
And we mean it, Boris. Not yet by a long while...
