KHOODEELAAR! analysis of the Big Business-promoted looting-the-public scam Crossrail has been vindicated in everything that has been happening in the banks and in the bankruptcy of the robbing capitalist operations and raids... But the DAILY MAIL seems to be on another planet.... If the following item taken from its web site is any guide as to any ‘thinking’ that occurs in the ‘editing’ of the publication.... They say that the ‘south east’ of England has been subsidising the ‘north’ of England to the tunes of £Billions... So what do they provide as the answer to that? They don’t say that the ‘saving’ should be spent in improving the EXISTING services and the quality of life of the people whose are let down by the ‘health’ ‘education’ ‘housing’ service providers. They don’t say that crime and social deterioration should be addressed they do not say any of that. The Daily MAIL says ‘build CROSSRAIL’! Now there is a limit to tolerating idiocy... But the DAILY MAIL is behaving even more irrationally than the word CRASS can denote....[To be continued]

Gordon Brown acted irresponsibly in making that 'commitment' of £Billions for London Crossrail! He lacks credibility for doing that [130]

2150 GMT London Friday 26 September 2008: KHOODEELAAR! No to “Crossrail hole Big Business City of London looting of the public” CAMPAIGN....Gordon Brown acted irresponsibly in making that 'commitment' of £Billions for London Crossrail! He lacks credibility for doing that.. [130]. KHOODEELAAR! Organiser MUHAMMAD HAQUE has this evening told the London timnesonline the following in response to their report on Gordon Brown’s utterances in the USA of the need for responsible acton by the bankers and financial traders: “Gordon Brown may recall the fact that he contributed significantly to the further stooging of the Houses of UK Parliament to suit Big Business agenda. The ‘commitment nt’ that he made of £Billions of public funds for Crossrail was made without allowing Parliament to examine the evidence to justify the irresponsibly contrived project. The main propaganda came from the very City of London interest and Big business elements ‘against’ whom Brown is now floating his own image as a belated and opportunistic backer of ‘integrity and responsibility’! Is Brown going to correct his record of irresponsibility and imprudence in peddling Crossrail and scarp that scam now? [To be continued]

Andrew Neil is PART of the problem. In fact he is part of the worse aspect of Big Business lying that has 'got us all here'

There was NOTHING in either Andrew Neil or any of his ‘expert;’ guests said that showed that they can be trusted.

Yet the BBC has over extended its complicity with the parasitic propagandists of the Right.

Andrew Neil now has been given as many slots on the so-called documentary programming on the ‘mainstream’ channels of the BBC as can be counted. Wherever you turn, there is Andrew Neil. As unoriginal and as untrue as ever.

Now what is Andrew neil’s secret? Why do the BBC agenda setters keep giving him so many slots?

RUTH KELLY had nothing to say about transport needs of people in London. Except a one-line cult-like plug for Big Business CRASSRAIL

In full: Ruth Kelly's speech

Times Online

This is the full text of the speech by Ruth Kelly to the 2008 Labour Party Conference
Conference, it is a pleasure to close this debate on sustainable communities.
I'd like to start by thanking all of you who've been involved in our discussions over the past year. Labour party members, trade unionists, councillors all working together on the policies we need to deliver a historic fourth Labour term.
In particular I'd like to thank Rosie, Tom and Jim for being such great ministers and such great colleagues over the past year.

Conference, I hope you will forgive me, for departing from my text for a moment.
As you may have heard on the news this morning this will be my last time addressing you as a member of the Cabinet.
I told Gordon before the summer of my decision to leave the Government for family reasons at the next reshuffle.
This was not a decision I took lightly. I was still in my 20s as Labour was given the honour of leading the country.
And I have been particularly proud as a minister at the Treasury to be able through our proposals on the Child Trust Fund. At Education, opening up school choice for parents, At Communities recasting our policies on violent extremism and devolving more power to local government.
In transport, I was delighted it was Labour that secured the deal on Crossrail.
It's also been a tremendous privilege to have worked with both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown - two towering figures in the Labour Party, Government and on the world stage.
But Conference, as well as a front line politician, I am also proud to be a mother and wife. To be able to hold these jobs, I have relied on the support of my husband and family.
So I ask for your understanding when I say that I now owe it to my children and family to put them first. If I do not, then I know that this is something I will come to regret deeply.
Conference, while we have not a lways agreed on every issue, I am enormously proud of all that we have achieved together over the past decade.
And I am confident that Labour has the values, vision and determination to see this country through difficult times.
There are some who claim that there would be no difference between a Conservative and a Labour government.

But Conference, tell that to the pensioner using her free bus pass, not just in her own neighbourhood but now right across the country.
Tell that to the young mum who can now rely on a brand new bus service to take her to the local shops.
Tell that to the commuter, who is now benefiting from newer, more frequent and more reliable trains - the biggest investment in capacity in a generation.
Conference, never again must we allow the Tories to take the axe to our vital public infrastructure when economic conditions get tough - as they have done time after time.
To slash investment when the country entered a time of economic difficulty would be reckless, short-sighted and irresponsible.
So that is why the Government will stay true to its commitments - on Crossrail, on Birmingham New Street, on Reading and across the country.
And we must continue to be ambitious for the future and to put in place the right long-term framework to deliver affordable investment in transport.
So Labour will develop options for a rolling programme of electrification of our railways - potentially the largest programme of electrification in our history.
I have asked Network Rail to consider the case for new lines if passenger numbers continue to grow in the future.
And if we need new lines, of course we should be asking whether they should be high speed.
We all know that in the current climate, with high food and fuel prices, getting good value for money is more important than ever.
So I have been working to help rail passengers by ensuring that fares are simp le, fairly set, fairly sold - and readily available.

And Conference, I can assure you that the lessons will be learned from the failure of the XL tour company so passengers can feel more secure when booking their annual holiday.
Conference, on Sunday I was privileged to take part in a ceremony naming a train in honour of Barbara Castle, one of the great Labour women of all time.
She was fearless in her determination to improve the lot of working people, full of courage and conviction, never afraid of taking the tough decisions - of doing what she thought was right.
I admire that.
The real test of the character of a politician - or a party - is how they deal with difficult times and unpopular decisions, not just the easy ones. And in transport over the past eighteen months, there have been both.
We all cherish the opportunity to visit friends and family abroad, catch up with loved ones, or take a well earned holiday.
But if we wa nt to maintain those hard-won opportunities, I truly believe we must be brave in challenging those who would ration flying and make it once more the preserve of the rich.
If London is to thrive as a major international hub, supporting the UK economy by providing good international connections, then it needs a hub airport that has sufficient capacity to serve all the regions and countries of the United Kingdom - as well as the emerging economies of China and India.
Boris may find his fantasy island airport a useful device to distract from the Tories' divisions on Heathrow.
I call it politically opportunistic, economically irresponsible and environmentally disastrous.
Conference, we must always be the party prepared to take the tough decisions, to do what is right, not just what is popular. To be the radicals in politics.
So I congratulate Sir Richard Leese and the Greater Manchester authorities for their ambition. Recognising the problems th at congestion causes. And, being prepared to argue for a congestion charge backed by a step-change in public transport to ensure that Manchester remains a world-class place to live and work.

It is seeing strong leadership in action, as we have here in Manchester, that has convinced me that we must continue to devolve powers to local communities.
I am proud that from this autumn, councils will have new powers to plan bus routes, fares and frequencies across their borough - powers opposed by the Tories every step of the way in Parliament.
And because buses are a vital lifeline to many in our communities I am delighted to announce today an extra £25 million to Kickstart new bus services, in both urban and rural areas.
Conference, this week we have set out a compelling vision for the future of our country.
This party, the Labour party, will continue to invest, to inspire and to lead.
Because Labour's values are rooted in the convictio n that by investing in our nation we are investing in our future.
This is the greatest of parties which has changed Britain for the better since 1997. It has been the greatest honour of my life to play a part in that.
I am leaving this stage today, but I will be with this great party all the way in the battle to keep improving our country. We can and must do even better - and Conference, I will always be with you in our great mission.
Thank you.

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! that CRASSrail has been turned into a ‘CULT Rail’ now by Gordon Brown...

KHOODEELAAR! analysis of Ruth kelly’s role in peddling the Bechtel-contrived London CRASSrail hole scam as being linked with CROSSRAIL being turned into a ‘cult’, has again been confirmed and vindicated..in the last 45 minutes! By Ruth kelly herself! Addressing the Blaired party annual jamboree staged in Manchester, Kelly said she was departing from the script and then stated her reason for leaving the Brown fronted UK cabinet is to do with her family....After that she resumed reading off the script. As the picture we have put here shows... That script contained cult-like reference to the securing of the ‘deal’ on Crossrail! That was it... No reference to London people. No reference e to the transport needs and the transport problems... Except the plug about bus passes... That was already stated by Brown himself in his own spiel as delivered on Tuesday....

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! that CRASSrail has been turned into a ‘CULT Rail’ now by Gordon Brown...

Brown has contradicted the image he pretended to create on Tuesday of being in any way opposed to the core of the corrupt Big Business practices and the conduct of the City of London and that of their assorted colluders, cohorts and co-perpetrators against society... In paying lip service to the over-appointed Ruth Kelly as ‘Govt minister’, Brown could not find anything of substance to say to the vulgar GMTV fronters about Ruth Kelly’s performance at the various Govt posts such as at the ‘Communities...’ department or at the Department in the name of Education [where she was the fronter after 'Bitter-ite' Charles Clarke had been shifted to the UK Department of the Interior]...... Except to ‘praise’ her for the job she allegedly did as the Crossrail hole plot peddling minister... This is callous, to say the least... How could Brown find nothing in Kelly’s other ‘jobs’ as the fronter to ‘praise’ ? The answer is, as all the facts we have been focussing on for almost 5 years now, the influence on Brown’s regime that is being exerted by Big Business...And this is another indication that Brown has NOT learnt the lesson and that he will waste £Billions of public money in enriching conglomerates that are behind the push for CRASSrail in London... [To be continued]

CROSSRAIL hole plot-fronter Ruth Kelly is reported to be due to be dropped by Brown from cabinet.

This page was last edited at 2245 GMT London Tuesday 23 September 2008/23 Ramadan 1429 AH

The item below was written at 2120 GMT. While reviewing the contents and verifying the information, we came across the disclosure [!] on the BBC TV NEWSNIGHT programme at 2145 Hrs GMT and as fronted by David Grossman, to the effect that the ‘intelligence’ they had received from No 10 Downing Street was that RUTH KELLYT was being dropped from Gordon Brown’s cabinet in the reshuffle that was scheduled to be announced on Friday. NEWSNIGHT also stated that Ruth Kelly had already indicated that she would resign.

The last bit of the information has already been published by KHOODEELAAR!




KHOODEELAAR! NO to Big Business City of London corruption ploy under covers of Crossrail: Whither Ruth Kelly?

The item below is being published with the above updater:

Gordon Brown made a reference to each of a list of ministers in his admission and implied that he was working as a team with them and that the achievements of his - and Tony’s!!!! – Administration were to be attributed to the work done by those like the ones he was citing approvingly. The citations included Ruth Kelly. The Crossrail hole plot peddling minister at the time that the Bechtel-craved ploy got the ‘Royal Assent’ dated 22 July 2008. [Thus making it 3 years almost to the day since the only charade of a debate staged in the name of the CRASS scam in the House of Commons on 19 July 2005]

It was also the same Ruth Kelly whose mouth delivered the lying propaganda for the Bechtel-propelled Crossrail when she agreed to perform the script.

That scripted packaged lie was perpetrated with Ruth Kelly’s participation and contained in a video that is still accessible. One of the most noticeable phrases used in the scripted utterances was – and is – the one about ‘Crossrail’ being ‘delivered’ by the Brown-fronted Blaired regime after GENERATIONS of gestation.

That word ‘generations’ was an inaccuracy.

But it was a lie because it was uttered and scripted with the intent to inflate the importance of the alleged delivery!

There is no record, no evidence of any substantial or comparable scheme to the currently referred to Crossrail in any proceedings in the UK Houses of Parliament before the 1990s.

Margaret Thatcher’s own lying confidante, Cecil Parkinson, himself did not do anything about it until the end of the 1980s decade…..

So Ruth Kelly was taking party in a lie…

[To be continued]

But that was not the only lie that Ruth Kelly uttered took part in and peddled about CRASSrail…

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That CROSSRAIL hole plot-peddler, Big Business tout Ken Livingstone WAS arrogant. That he was negligent, contemptuous of the people and was way out of order in his contemptible assumptions that he was BORN to live off London people....that he was the voice of the people.....Now, we hear that the very woman who was supposedly in charge of the Blaired party election spin including Livingstone's bid to stay in post at the XXXXty Hall in London SE1, says that Livingstone was arrogant. That he had been in the post for far too long.... SHE has confessed in effect to the fact that people were put off by LIVINGSTONE himself........KHOODEELAAR! will examine Tessa Jowell’s confession in the next 24 hours. [To be continued] First the impression of a report about what she has confessed to, from the web site of the London EVENING nostandards STANDARD, Tuesday 23 September 2008:

Minister for London Tessa Jowell has admitted that Ken Livingstone's perceived arrogance could have lost him the mayoral election.
"There is nothing that alienates people more than what they see as the arrogance of power," she told a fringe meeting at Labour's annual conference in Manchester.
Ms Jowell, who oversaw Labour's campaign, also suggested the former mayor's length of service could have put voters off re-electing him.
"You have to assume that in modern politics longevity works against you," she added.
Her remarks underline a belief held by many in the London Labour party that Mr Livingstone should not be allowed to stand again because he represented the past.
However, she added during the debate on the London elections that after four years he would be a "refreshed, reinvigorated" candidate and better placed to win than when he was the incumbent. Meanwhile, Mr Livingstone's former communications director has told how investigations by the Evening Standard "appeared to confirm that (City Hall) grant- giving was inf luenced by favouritism" - the first significant admission about the Lee Jasper scandal by one of Mr Livingstone's inner circle.
Joy Johnson said that Mr Livingstone's decision to "hang on" to Mr Jasper, his race adviser, despite allegations of cronyism, was "wrong", "doomed" and "a mistake" which cost the mayor "much political capital at a crucial time ... (for) someone who was ultimately a figure of secondary importance". At the meeting, a string of senior London Labour figures voiced criticism of Mr Livingstone's mayoral campaign. Councillor Steve Reed, leader of Lambeth council, accused the campaign of sending "mixed messages" about Conservative candidate Boris Johnson.
"With one hand we said he was a buffoon and with the other we said he was a dangerous extremist," said Mr Reed. "Both things cannot be true, and the voters concluded that neither was true."
Len Duvall, leader of the London Assembly Labour group, said: "It doesn't matter how impressive your legacy and achievements, you are not going to win by that alone.
"We had mixed messages and were a bit late coming in to play." Writing in the British Journalism Review Ms Johnson said: "When someone is in the eye of the media storm - on this occasion, Lee Jasper, Livingstone's equalities adviser - resignation must be swift.
"Our reasoning, that resignation would look like an admission of guilt, was a mistake."
The consequence of the Jasper affair was, Ms Johnson said, "an inability" for the Livingstone campaign to get back on the front foot.
"With a barrage of negative stories arising from leaked emails that appeared to confirm grant-giving was influenced by favouritism, which in turn led to allegations of cronyism, we were operating against a backdrop of hostile stories over a sustained period," she added.
Ms Johnson was also fiercely critical of the Evening Standard, saying its coverage was unbalanced and its billboards had caused "incalculable damage" to the Livingstone campaign.
However, she admitted that some of its stories were "legitimate".

KHOODEELAAR! updating the analysis of Gordon Brown's error in peddling CRASS Crossrail.... SCRAP CROSSRAIL is our message to Brown and Darling [125]

KHOODEELAAR! No to “Big Business agenda of crassly conceived London Crossrail hole scam.....” CAMPAIGN TOLD YOU SO! That GORDON BROWN was behaving imprudently. That in jumping unwisely on Ken Livingstone's lying ‘world crass City of London...’ bandwagon that was rolling in 2007 at the pernicious, poisonous instigation of the mega corruptors in and of and from City of London elements peddling the Big Business Crossrail hole plot agenda, Brown had shown, in 2007 that he had given up all pretence of being prudent.... KHOODEELAAR! had said so all along since Brown made the indefensible and very unsound decision to peddle CRASSrail... And on every single count, the KHOODEELAAR! analysis has been vindicated... by the British ‘mainstream’ media, ‘finding out the evidence all by themselves’ way way afterwards! That Gordon Brown is now seen widely to be a liability is not altogether unconnected with his failure to live up to the image of the ‘prudent’ finance Minister.... Because as we have also pointed out, Brown PREVENTED CRASSRAIL for years..... Until, he was ill-advised to think that the lyingstill Livingstone was the beacon of political enlightenment and wisdom and virtue... And Brown gave in... also to the brazenly plugged anti-Scottish line that Livingstone played..... Today, Alistair Darling is set to deliver HIS version of a rescue package fro his own career and for Brown.... KHOODEELAAR! tells BOTH Brown and Darling: SCRAP CRASSrail now and you will see that a significant burden has been lifted and you will begin, just begin, to become reasonably credible again.... That Brown has at last ‘seen the light’, that the City of London is NEVER to be equated with responsibility far less reasonability far less trustworthiness is now beyond all doubt....[to be continued]

That BIG BUSINESS was crass, immoral uncaring, greedy, corrupt and destructive.... That the Greater London Authority [GLA], now renamed the London Assembly is useless... has been useless and has not held Ken Livingstone [8 years in post in the name of the people of London until May 2008] the main perpetrating peddler of CRASSrail scam and ‘the Big Business scam agenda Crossrail’ to account.... that the London Assembly has failed the people of London on major crime problems as is seen in the persistent incidents of young people getting murdered......that the ‘Metropolitan Police Authority’ is a joke. No, it is a sick joke as it has not shown any competence whatever in operating as a responsible democratic authority for one of the world’s most powerful police forces.... that today’s description by the BBC, no less [more, later, about this phrase ‘no less’], of the current goings on inside the London Metropolitan Police as resembling events in a spy novel show just how bad things have become... that the police are now openly admitting that they are spying on each other [as the BBC programme NEWS CHANNEL has just confirmed with a live interview broadcast in the last 40 minutes with reporter Barney Chaudhury conducted by programme presenter Martine Croxall] to avoid being trapped by fellow police men and women....... That this is a situation which has not been explained by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith ,, whose strangely confident-sounding speech delivered this afternoon at the Manchester rally of the Blaired Party gave no indication that she recognised the very serious crisis that has occurred inside the London Metropolitan Police....that the interviews being given by Jacqui Smith’s junior ministerial colleague closely involved in policing matters, Tony McNulty has sounded just as blasé as he does on anything...that there is NO reason to believe a word any Govt minister or any holder of any such post at any local or regional level says... especially anything Ruth Kelly said.... as even the PRESS ASSOCIATION is predicting today that she is a ‘favourite’ to be given the sack in a Gordon Brown reshuffle... that BOTH McNulty and Kelly have been very closely involved during their times in and at the UK Department for Transport [DfT] in promoting the Crossrail hole scam.,...[To be continued]

0105 gmt 0205 Hrs uk time london saturday 13 September 2008: KHOODEELAAR! is now demonstrably THE daily [and often more frequent] voice on the internet of the inner city defence against the Blairing assaults on the rights of the people in the inner city communities to have our say on what happens to the land in the inner city areas, what happens to the resources and the needs in the areas, how we can have our say on the decisions made in our name by the formally installed institutions of alleged local representation by the local councils; Khoodeelaar! no to ‘big business agenda for looting society, the big business agenda of greed and mega corruption of society and of the world, the big Business practice, tradition and culture of contaminating the environment internationally, regionally, locally; the big Business agenda of lying big time to justify the corruption and the looting... the big business agenda of doing way with entire communities with no even pretence at wanting to respect the human rights and the environmental rights of the people in the communities that BiG Business is bent on in effect decimating....... the KHOODEELAAR! campaign is in defence of the inner city East End of London and as part of the defence we are today, this weekend CONTINUING our analysis and dissection of the tactics, the trends and the habits of BiG Business propaganda organs.... as we start with THIS piece to examine the contents of the latest assaults by the Big Business London CROSSRAIL hole plot-justifying-lies by the touts of Big Business Business operating as propaganda tools and agents via the Times news organisation owned, rather CONTROLLED by Rupert Murdoch,......

KHOODEELAAR! No to “Big Business agenda CRASSRAIL hole plot and SCAM..." CAMPAIGN TOLD YOU SO... Update on KHOODEELAAR! vindication [105]


The following is a quote from a web site which has published in the past few hours this [quoted] comment about CROSSRAIL. Now, to those who are already familiar with the KHOODEELAAR! analysis of CRASSrail London, the quoted statement would not be new at all... Why?
Because KHOODEELAAR! has been saying so for almost 5 years now...


But to those who are ‘new’ to KHOODEELAAR! or to AADHIKARonline publishing, this [quoted below] comment is the latest vindication in a long line of the KHOODEELAAR! analysis and analyses by a third party and source.


KHOODEELAAR! is the leading intellectual, constitutional law and economic opposition to the Big Business London Crassrail hole scam. And we are INCLUDING THIS [quoted statement below] AS ANOTHER ITEM of evidence IN OUR constitutional law challenge to the crassly conceived, crassly promoted, unlawfully pushed and unconstitutionally 'passed through the UK parliament', wasteful, obsolete CROSSRAIL hole scam:



"
Whether Crossrail in its present form is good value for money is questionable. Its primary function is to relieve pressure on the Central Line tube. It may be one of those projects that has grown out of hand, and that what is really needed is another tube line, at a fraction of the cost.

KHOODEELAAR! focus on the role of Tim Archer, Tory Councillor for 'Canary Wharf' on Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole plot-backer Council [103]

0650 GMT 0750 Hrs UK Time London Tuesday 9 September 2008:


KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! A year ago, ALMOST to the day [ today is 9 September 2008 and a year ago THIS week on Friday 7 September 2007], KHOODEELAAR! did an actin archive on THIS KHOODEELAAR! site and discussed, amongst other things, the role [however small] played by Francis Maude [MP], then the UK Conservative Party ‘leader’ [ April 2006] who had stated his PARTY’s OPPOSITION to the Crossrail hole in the Brick Lane, London E1 area.......


And yesterday, 8 September 2008, we came to be aware that today’s Guardian was to publish the item promoting Tory councillor Tim Archer. We have already this morning [Tuesday 9 September 2008] begun to focus on Archer’s untrustworthiness..... And we are going to continue the examination of his dubious and lethally anti-community role on Tower Hamlets Council. Before we get to that stage, it is vital to remind visitors of what we had said on 7 September 2007.


ACTION Archive against Crossrail attack on the East end of London: AADHIKARonline report on the Crossrail hole plotter Ken Livingstone 26.04.2006
London mayor Livingstone obstructs Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole
Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of AADHIKARonline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude’s backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006
1. Within minutes [on Monday 24 April 2006] of AADHIKARonline reporting the Conservative Party Chair Francis Maude’s backing to Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign, London Mayor Ken Livingstone had his office send a strange communication to Khoodeelaar! The legal and democratic significance of the Ken Livingstone communication are enormous, especially in the last week before the scheduled local elections on 4 May 2006
2. That communication from the head of Ken Livingstone’s transport department, effectively says that the Khoodeelaar! demands for Ken Livingstone to make full disclosure of all his communications with the clique of corrupt controllers of Tower Hamlets Council are too expensive for the London Mayor to comply with !
3. There is no specific item that the London Mayor has identified in his mayor communication to Khoodeelaar on Monday 24 April 2006 as constituting an allegedly over-the-permitted limit of administration cost request under the Freed of Information Act.
4. The key point is that Khoodeelaar! the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill attacks plan on the Brick Lane London E1 area, has been issuing ken Livingstone with a series of pre-action [letter before claim] communications and the London mayor has now run out of excuses.
5. At the centre of the Khoodeelaar legal action claims against Ken Livingstone lies in the fact that the mayor has persistently misled Londoners generally and the UK Parliament through his undisclosed deals with the Transport Department and in particular the people of the East End community affected by the CrossRail hole plan.
6. Khoodeelaar! delivered the first demand to ken Livingstone for confirming a number of facts that were linked with the mayor’s release of a news item on 24 March 2006.
7. That was followed within a day or two by other calls on Livingstone to disclose the facts of his dealing with the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council.
8. It was again repeated by Khoodeelaar! no to Crossrail hole campaign updating their calls on Livingstone to deal with the factual questions that arose about the stunt from the written statement about the CrossRail hole Bill that was issued in the UK House of Commons by CrossRail hole Minister Alistair Darling on 30 March 2006.
9. The mayor is on record as having touted for the enlisting of the ‘leaders’ and ‘lead members’ of a number of local councils, including the then leader of Tower Hamlets Council [Helal Uddin Abbas] in February 2004 as part of the Livingstone lobby for CrossRail plan.
10. In a Crossrail-hole-plan promotional ‘letter’ published in 2004 under the name of Ken Livingstone together with the names of Helal Uddin Abbas and others from other local Councils, the promotion of CrossRail was made without a single qualification let alone reservation.
11. Khoodeelaar! immediately wrote to both Livingstone and demanded that the Evening Standard publish the truth about the CrossRail hole plan. Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque told the Editor of the London EVENING STANDARD that their failure to publish the truth about the CrossRail plan [as it still was - because the CrossRail hole Bill was not put before the House of Commons until 22 February 2005, almost a year after Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque was having the series of demands put on Ken Livingstone and Christine Gilbert to tell the truth of their then role in promoting the CrossRail plan. The EVENING STANDARD failed to publish the truth. As did Ken Livingstone.
12.
That was in February 2004.
13. Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque also wrote to Tower Hamlets Council chief Executive Christine Gilbert in February 2004 and in March 2004 asking for a series of detailed answers to questions about her own role in promoting the CrossRail hole plan including the question as to what advice, if any, had she, Christine Gilbert, given to the ruling clique or group on the Tower Hamlets Council. There was no reply. There has been no reply.
14. When Khoodeelaar! issued the latest then updated series of legal claims against Alistair Darling, ken Livingstone, Christine Gilbert and a few others and said that the application to the High Court in London against them would be filed on Monday 27 March 2006, a number of things immediately happened.
15. Ken Livingstone suddenly issued a news release on 24 March 2006 saying that the CrossRail Dirt hole in the Brick Lane London E1 had been scrapped!
16. And that Ken Livingstone Crossrail-Dirt-hole plan against Brick Lane London E1 area scrapping stunt announcement was then used as the peg for the evening TV news which featured the entire cabal of self-seeking politicos doing their fame slots and assorted other fantasies. They were given more time than Khoodeelaar! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque who did say on the record [BBC London News, Friday 24 April 2006] that as far as Khoodeelaar! Was concerned, they had immediately asked Livingstone to substantiate the claims of the scrapping of the Crossrail Dirty hole plan and demanded that Livingstone to answer the outstanding detailed KHOODELAAR! no to CrossRail hole questions that had been put to him as based on his unqualified plugs for the CrossRail plan over the previous years
17. Accordingly, Muhammad Haque and Khoodeelaar! campaign sent the detailed further questions immediately and also went to City hall on Monday 3 April 2006 and delivered a series of questions for Livingstone to deal with.
18. On the same occasion [3 April 2006] Khoodeelaar demonstrated the campaign’s opposition to Ken Livingstone’s role so far and demanded that Livingstone come out with the overdue answers to the extensive and the very comprehensive KHOODEELAAR! No to the Crossrail hole questions which had arisen from Livingstone’s stunt staged on Friday 24 March 2006 about the alleged scrapping of the CrossRail Dirt hole.
19. Livingstone remained silent
20. Until the AADHIKARonline news carried the first detailed transcripts of the Khoodeelaar! Organiser’s Questions and answers encounter with Conservative party chair Francis Maude in Brick Lane in the mid afternoon of Monday 24 April 2006.
21. Ken Livingstone’s head of Transports sent an e-mail which is full of typical Ken Livingstone’s dissembling. The concept of dissembling as associated with ken Livingstone on 24 April 2006 had already been spotted and identified a month previously [on Friday 24 March 2006] out by Khoodeelaar organiser Muhammad Haque in his news interview with the BBC London political editor Tim Donovan on that date [Friday 24 March 2006].

KHOODEELAAR! No to 'Crossrail hole plot' Big Business agenda CAMPAIGN exposes the Tory Councillor Tim Archer [102 C]

This page was last edited in London at 0108 GMT on Tuesday 9 September 2008

DEPRIVATION is what the Tories CAUSE. Deprivation is what they support. Deprivation is what they profit from. Deprivation is what they exploit. To make careers out of. And profit from.

So it has been EXPECTED that the Tories !!! on Tower Hamlets Council would not be backing the campaign against the Crossrail hole plot on the East End of London..... For to oppose the Crossrail scam would be to oppose the founding pillars of capitalist corruption...

But that is not to say that the timeserving Tories are even aware of the duplicity of the deprivation system that they back and exploit.


Below is an interview and plug in the Guardian for one of the three Tories whom the local 'East London IDIOTISER' has been promoting if they were not only not Tories of Thatcherism but as if they were were from an outer space unconnected with the millennia of wealth-grabbing crime which the Thatchered Conservatives epitomise and which the Canary Wharf Conservatives actually crave and emulate....


We are here examining [in this series of commentaries] Tim Archer's boastful reference to their role on the Council, as published on the Guardian web site in the past 100 minutes:



"Tim Archer, Poplar and Limehouse
Target seat no 105
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday September 09 2008 00:01 BST
Article history
1. Perception: Do you consider yourself to be a progressive?

"Yes. I'm a Conservative councillor in Tower Hamlets, one of the most deprived parts of the country, and am the parliamentary candidate for the marginal new consistency of Poplar and Limehouse, an east London seat that encompasses the wealth of Canary Wharf and some of the poorest estates in London and the country.

"I've been elected as a councillor in Tower Hamlets, which is a naturally Labour area; before 2004 there had never been a Conservative on the council ever before. In Tower Hamlets the Conservatives are the party fighting for local people to ensure they get a fair deal. We want to make sure that local people have the opportunities to take advantage of the economic engine that's on our doorstep in the form of Canary Wharf.

"We want to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, not by unfair taxation but by giving people the best start in life and the opportunities to make their lives better. For example, Labour have made a small advance in school reform by, for example, the development of local academies. In Tower Hamlets the Labour-run council turned down the offer of £4m from Goldman Sachs to invest in two schools under the academy scheme. I supported this investment as it would bring much needed cash to our local schools and give local children a better start in life. Labour turned down the money as they seem to want to perpetuate the problem of local people not having the opportunities to better themselves. It seems to suit Labour to keep people down. Now which is the more progressive?

"Finally, I was selected as the parliamentary candidate by an open primary, where almost 100 local residents from the East End of London came to choose who they wanted as their candidate."

2. Tax: Should David Cameron offer more tax cuts than he has outlined already?

"By nature Conservatives believe in low taxes, giving people choice over how they spend, invest and save their hard-earned money. It also keeps our economy competitive internationally. We're in difficult economic times so our ability to offer more tax cuts is limited. And with Labour being fresh out of ideas, offering more tax cuts simply gives them more ideas to pinch!"

3. Tax: If yes to the above, do you think they should be funded by
(a) cuts in public spending, or
(b) increases in other taxes

"A combination of both; some taxes are unfair and they should be replaced (inheritance tax, stamp duty for first-time buyers). Some aspects of public spending could be cut, for example the money wasted on the New Deal, which has not delivered."

4. Tax: Should so-called "green" taxes increase?

"True green taxes need to be increased, but not to simply increase the overall tax intake. We need to take the threat to our environment seriously and taxes should be used to encourage environmentally friendly activities."

5. Tax: As a share of GDP tax is currently around 37%. After four years of a Conservative government would you expect it to be:
(a) substantially lower – at least 2 percentage points
(b) slightly lower
(c) much the same as it is now
(d) higher

A.

6 Europe: On balance has Britain lost out or gained from its membership of the EU? If it has lost out, should it withdraw?

"Probably gained, especially in trade, but the EU comes with costs, for example the Lisbon treaty without a referendum, the common agricultural policy, which needs reform."

7. Family: Which of the following statements most reflects your view:
(a) The tax system should be reformed to recognise and promote marriage
(b) The tax system should help parents regardless of their marital status

A.

8. Abortion: The House of Commons recently voted to maintain the upper limit of 24 weeks on abortion. Do you believe it should be reduced? If yes, by how many weeks?

"My personal view is that I would like to see the limit reduced from the current 24 weeks. I would like to see 22 weeks."

KHOODEELAAR! No to EVENING STANDARD's plugs for CROSSRAIL: Gilligan is a Big Biz Crossrail faker! [101]

This page was last edited at 1920 GMT London Monday 8 September 2008:


KHOODEELAAR! is republishing the following comment piece by-lined to Andrew Gilligan and carried in the print editions of today's London EVENING nostandards STANDARD. Why we are doing so? As part of the evidence that the EVENING nostandards STANDARD is still treating CRASSrail as a cult item and phenomenon,, always to be left out of any critical assessment or evaluation. We note that the Gilligan piece is apparently an objective attack on ken Livingstone's recorded mess at the TfL. Yet the piece makes an exception of CRASSrail. Describing CRASSRAIL as a 'project of real worth'. This is contradictory., and dishonest. Whether this phrase was inserted by Veronica Wadley or whether itv was Gilligan who wrote it himself is not known as yet. But the fact is that the piece is contradictory because of that plug in it for CRASSrail. Assuming that Gilligan wrote it himself, it is clear on that evidence that Gilligan is just as dishonest as anyone else that has been peddling Crassrail... On that evidence, Gilligan's claimed objectivity in the rest fo the item falls. [To be continued]

It’s time to turn your attention to TfL, Boris

Mayor 'going cold on vital scheme for cross-river tram'

How magnificently brazen it was to see Ken Livingstone attacking Boris's TfL fares increase last week.

This rise, of inflation plus one per cent from January 2009, is, of course, the exact same package which the ex-Great Helmsman himself secretly agreed on 24 October last year.

The only difference, as emails leaked to the Standard in April showed, was that to the horror of his officials, Mr Livingstone simply decided to ignore the decision.

We've short memories, Ken, but not that short. And remind me: just which Mayor was it who raised fares by up to one-third in 2007? Would that have been you, or a totally different one?

The real problem is not that Boris has kept Ken's 2009 fares plan but that he has, so far, left almost everything else about Livingstone's TfL intact, too. It's a problem because TfL is the Ed Balls of public administration: nothing like as good as it thinks it is.

It genuinely believes, in the words of its commissioner, Peter Hendy, that it is an “efficient and effective” provider of bus and train services.

In fact, under Livingstone and Hendy's stewardship, it has achieved the worst of all worlds: rapacious fares, vast public subsidy and often mediocre service.

The buses have improved, though at a disproportionate, unsustainable cost (bus subsidy has risen about 1,300 per cent, while passengers have risen about 45 per cent). But the Tube is the least-reliable, worst-managed metro in Western Europe, and is getting worse, not better. It is hard to overstate the damage it does to London's international reputation and to Londoners' blood pressure.

TfL genuinely believes itself a world leader which other cities follow. Actually, other cities are surprised at our backwardness in, for instance, providing clean public transport. Even the buses in Delhi have been using cleaner fuels for years — but London's bus fleet remains 99.9 per cent diesel. In terms of air pollution (different from C02), TfL buses are among the most poisonous things on the road in London today, directly responsible for the deaths of dozens of Londoners each year.

No other city has followed London's model of the congestion charge, for the good reason that it uses crude, old technology and has, partly as a result, stopped reducing congestion.

TfL does, however, lead the world in pointless extravagance, with 123 of its managers earning more than £100,000 a year and fortunes wasted on vanity projects like the “Greenwich Waterfront Transit” (a six-mile bus route — again diesel — costing £20 million). Hence the high fares.

Now, with big bills looming for projects of real worth such as Crossrail, fare rises alone, however necessary, won't pay for everything. The bus and rail services London depends on simply cannot survive at their current levels unless TfL takes a crash diet.

But four months in, marvels one senior TfL figure, “Boris's arrival has made no difference whatever. It's all going on exactly as before.” No programmes have (yet) been cancelled. No personnel changes have been made. Indeed, one senior TfL person has just been appointed, of all things, Boris's environmental adviser.

Less than a year ago, as further leaked emails show, Mr Hendy was secretly plotting with Ken's chief of staff to “refute Boris's transport ideas”. Now, in a truly gymnastic feat of brown-nosing, he has apparently persuaded the new Mayor that his sole purpose in life is to implement those very same ideas.

It's surprising that someone as bright as Boris can fall for this obvious nonsense. What it probably means is not that TfL will end up working for Boris — but that Boris will end up working for TfL.

Have you ever ridden a bus in Delhi? Have you breathed in the smog in that city? What utter tosh.

I don't live in London, but every time I have been there, I have been pleasantly surprised by a well-organised, frequent, low-cost mass transport system. You perhaps forget what it is like to not live in the well-connected Capital city!

TfL is what the rest of the country's transport network needs! Not subsidised, wholly national, national rail!

KHOODEELAAR Constitutional law action against “Crossrail hole plot ...’ CAMPAIGN, UPDATE of evidence [101]

This page of AADHIKARonline was last edited at 0445 GMT 0545 Hrs UK Time London Monday 8 September 2008.

KHOODEELAAR Constitutional law action against “Crossrail hole plot ...’ CAMPAIGN, UPDATE of evidence [101]. Those who are actually familiar with the UK domestic court system! will know of the huge amount of work that has to be done before any actual applications are made to a court... The same applies to KHOODEELAAR! legal and constitutional law action programme... For 4 years and 8 months, we have waited for them to give us answers to the questions that we have put to them.... We have tried again by updating them on those [as visitor to our web web sites, blogs and publicity pages on the internet will be aware]. When we did get a single communication  claiming that they have answered, we looked through our files. The result is that the following reply has now been sent to the Tower Hamlets Council this morning [Monday 8 september 2008]: “We have not found answers to our questions in anything that you or any other person representing the tower hamlets borough council has sent to us in the 4 years and 8 months of our campaign so far. This is the reason for the delay in our sending you this reply. We have looked for and thought about the possibility of finding answers to our questions. Answers from TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL. But in vain. The council has never answered our questions.This will now be of course sought - the answers that is - via the courts, as you are aware. I say this in view of your legal section decision to ask you to await our proposed court actions. The court actions have been delayed so far partly in order to give yourselves the one conclusive opportunity to give us the answers to all the outstanding questions. It is clear that 
‘the Council’ prefers to have the matter dealt with by the court system. I point out that this will be one component of our claim, that the Council is causing court actions to be taken rather than give us the answers.The costs implications of this behaviour will be stressed in all relevant representation and actions by Khoodeelaar! Yours sincerely

This page was last edited at
0430 GMT 0530 Hrs UK Time London Sunday 7 September 2008


KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! The lie that Big Business agenda is based on and the lie that the peddlers of the Crossrail hole plot have been using in all their promotions and lobbying, is that the scam will 'also' 'bring benefits' 'to local people'. They have been perpetrating the lie that JOBS will be available to the people, fo the East End. Ordinary people in the ordinary community. We have said all along that the lie is untenable. That the lie is deliberate and is part of the fraud to get the crassly conceived scam through... That it cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. That their lie is part and parcel of their strategy that was used inside the two Houses of UK Parliament by BIg Business that covered up the truth and lied.........That the lie is exposed in the following jobs and recruitment propaganda piece carried ion one of the construction conglomerates web sites: NOTE the words they use for prospective jobseekers on Crossrail, the 2012 Olympics Games hosting sites and structures ...."particularly those who are qualified and are working towards Chartered status."

KHOODEELAAR! No to "pro-imperialist, pro-colonialist Big Business media myths against the people targeted by poverty-creating Crossrail hole plotters”

This page was last edited at 2205 GMT London Friday 5 september 2008

For a second time in the past few months, the Rupert Murdoch-owned ed London times newspaper has SUPPRESSED comments critical of the City of London interests as contained in the pieces published with the by-line of Martin Waller, who ‘normally’ presents himself as the ‘City Diarist’..

There are comments accompanying his latest piece concerned. But not those that tell the truth about the role being played by the Big Business backing media.

We shall go into the details of the role being played by the likes of Martin Waller in boosting the image of the Big Business ...

We shall also look at someone else given a job on the same Murdoch owned Times. That someone else is passable as an almost credible member of what could be called the calling of 'journalism !!!!'. She is Camilla Cavendish. She boasts of having lived - and ‘worked’ - in Bangladesh. And comes across as if she knows Tower Hamlets as a 'resident'.

Here is here latest piece that refers to both [Bangladesh and Tower Hamlets]:


"

From The Times mSeptember 4, 2008 Britain 2028: we need ten new cities, please

Our approach to immigration is unsustainable. We must either cap numbers or introduce a tough guest worker scheme


Camilla Cavendish


I came back from holiday in the vast calm of Burgundy to find that the UK will have the largest population in Europe by 2060, on half the land area of France. Sharif told me this while he was doing my hair. He thinks it would be “crazy, darlink, so sweaty, and just not fair”. But he also worries that his Polish builders will go home and leave him with Albanians who are less cute and who have apparently acquired the English tea-break mentality, but not much English.
We have become completely contradictory about migration. We are alarmed by the numbers of people reaching these shores, yet suddenly afraid that they might pack up and leave. Can we afford to lose energetic people who have helped to drive the economy? Can we afford to keep them? How many is too many?
First, the stats. If there is any certainty at all in population projections, it is that a 50-year EU projection is bound to be wrong. So I dug out the Government's 20-year forecast. It's stunning. The Office for National Statistics expects Britain's population to rise by ten million, seven million from immigration. That would require the building of ten big cities. Yet the Government has no plan for housing the numbers it is apparently planning to accept, nor for providing the services they would need. Already, half the babies in London's maternity wards have foreign-born mothers. That doesn't make any baby worth any less. But those of us who have given birth in the capital in recent years know that midwives are dangerously variable in quality and that hospitals are so overstretched that women are being turned away from hospital to give birth on the kitchen floor.
Will a recession empty the wards and leave our dynamic economy bereft of talent? Probably not. The significance of the Polish exodus has been overblown because of the assumption that Eastern Europeans are a majority of those coming here. Yet they have never been. Even in 2004, when the Government opened Britain's doors to the new EU accession countries, of the 940,000 people who came here legally only a third were from the EU. Over the past 15 years more than 90 per cent of legal arrivals have been from non-EU countries.



This gives the lie to the pretence that the Government cannot restrict the numbers entering Britain. The fourfold rise in official immigration in the past decade can be explained largely by deliberate policy. In 1997 the abolition of the Primary Purpose Rule removed the restriction that required applicants to show that they were not just marrying to enter the UK. In 1998 the abolition of embarkation controls ended any effective record of who came in and out. In 2002 the number of work permits was doubled. The Government now claims to have created an “Australian-style points system” to keep out the low-skilled, but it is Australia-lite. Australia sets an annual limit on numbers, then takes those with the most points. The British have no such limit.
Much of our contradictory approach is because while we appreciate the undoubted skills of foreign doctors and builders, we are less enthusiastic about handing out lifetime entitlements to unprecedented numbers of people merely on the basis that they are here, legitimately or not. It is clear that immigration has brought much-needed wealth, ideas and energy into the British economy. It is less clear, over time, how to balance economic benefits against the value of state ones.
The answer may be to decouple the two. There is no cast-iron reason, for example, why immigrants who have been here for five years should automatically acquire a permanent right to remain. Nor is it axiomatic that they should have the same entitlements as British citizens. Many countries with open borders refuse to give immigrants equal rights. When I lived in Bangladesh I met many families whose income came from guest worker relatives in Kuwait and Jordan. During the Gulf War, the sheer number of disgruntled returnees astonished me. For me, the term “guest worker” was flush with imperial exploitation. But these people were just grateful that they could earn. They did not expect additional benefits. They were keen to get back, even to Singapore - which expels guest workers if they become pregnant.
The guest worker concept is unpalatable in many ways. But it may be fairer than shutting people out altogether. The US economist Lant Pritchett has called guest work a liberal solution to the problem of the “irresistible forces of global migration” coming up against the West's “immovable ideas” of nationhood.
I raise the issue because it seems clear to me that our current approach is both undemocratic and unsustainable. When the official figures point exponentially upward - and the official figures are a woeful underestimate because they fail to capture the illegals - we are in danger of stretching the social contract to breaking point. People are getting angry, and they will get angrier if the recessionary tide leaves ever more foreigners claiming benefits here.
The alternative to a guest worker system, which feels more British, would be to offer every legitimate worker equal rights - to benefits, at least, if not to permanent residency. But in this overcrowded island, this will only work if there is some kind of cap on numbers. Come to Tower Hamlets and see people living eight to a room. Spot the secret doors cut into buildings which have been divided up into grim tenements, like the old Jewish ghettos. Many of these people earn below the minimum wage and some are trafficked. It is inhuman. I believe we face a choice: between open borders and guest workers, or closed borders and fewer workers. To continue to pretend that we do not, as recession looms, may prove politically dangerous. The immigration issue is now spatial, not racial. And the fairest solutions may be those that look the least liberal.

North-east Crossrail scheme ‘doomed’

Posted: 5th September 2008 | No Comments


First Minister Alex Salmond
PLANS to set up a £200million commuter transport system in the north-east appeared doomed last night after experts said the business case was weak and questioned potential demand.

First Minister Alex Salmond revealed that Transport Scotland had concerns about the Crossrail scheme and transport partnership Nestrans has been advised to focus on improving the existing rail infrastructure.

Opposition MSPs say the news reinforced their fears for the project, which would involve two new stations in Aberdeen serving the north and south and a service between Inverurie, Aberdeen and Stonehaven every 15 minutes.

Nestrans chairman Kevin Stewart said he believed the project, part of a £1billion transport strategy for the north-east, was feasible but admitted Transport Scotland was not convinced.

North East Conservative MSP Nanette Milne said last night it appeared from the tone of the letter she had received from Mr Salmond that the SNP Government was poised to perform a “spectacular U-turn”.

She said this would be a great pity because the project was “vital” in tackling traffic congestion in Aberdeen, particularly at the Haudagain roundabout.

Mr Salmond wrote: “Transport Scotland has had discussions with Nestrans regarding the emerging conclusions from their draft report relating to the Aberdeen Crossrail proposal.

“The initial findings from this study suggested that the business case for this project might be weak.

“It was therefore jointly agreed that Nestrans should focus on identifying the further passenger benefits that can be gained from the existing rail infrastructure.”

Mrs Milne added: “Local people increasingly feel that the SNP are making a spectacular U-turn which will see these plans and the Crossrail project shelved.

“It is now crucial that the first minister and the SNP government clear up the confusion they have caused surrounding the Aberdeen Crossrail proposal.”

Pivotal to the Crossrail scheme is the reopening of Laurencekirk station, but this has been has been delayed until early next year. Plans are also afoot to reopen Kintore station and Nestrans is funding a feasibility study.

Mr Stewart said: “Transport Scotland do not see there being the demand for the project but it may see it increasing when the timetabling of the trains between Stonehaven and Inverurie changes in December.

“We will judge what happens when Laurencekirk opens in the new year.”

A spokesman for Mr Salmond said: “Obviously we want proposals to be as strong as possible to maximise their chances of success when they advance beyond a draft and come forward in final form for consideration by ministers.

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! that there was no economic case for Crossrail! That the EXISTING infrastructure which related to overwhelming numbers of peoples’ transport needs, needed to be improved and maintained to a high standard with the money that was wrongly being allocated to Big busies under the cover of Crossrail.... Now, a SIMILAR argument in principle, has been recognised up in Scotland... THERE, the much smaller ‘Crossrail’, a word that construction conglomerates have been spreading and pushing as a ‘cult’ word, has been found to be NOT in demand.................KHOODEELAAR! says to Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling: Again, listen to reason and you shall be spared undue woes ....SCRAP London Big Business CRASSrail....Address real transport matters with the money...[To be continued]
