Living up to the manifesto pledge

By Jonathan Josephs
BBC London News


Mr Johnson has promised New York-style policing
Boris Johnson has decided not to renew the controversial oil deal agreed by his predecessor with Venezuela.
The deal with Caracas, was essentially an oil-for-advice exchange, an exchange that Mr Johnson labelled "crackers" during his election campaign.
The decision is further evidence of a marked change in strategy for the office of London Mayor under the new administration.
The scrapping of the deal certainly fits in with the wider approach of Mr Johnson's most senior aide.
Last week Tim Parker was appointed as First Deputy Mayor. The man who made his reputation in the cut-throat world of private equity has a reputation for axing what he sees as unnecessary tentacles of an organisation in order to save money.
Manifesto pledge
It's a safe bet that Mr Parker sees the Venezuela deal as being outside the "core strategy" of the Greater London Authority.
Mayor Johnson will be quick to point to this decision as well as his move to scrap "the Mayor's personal newspaper" The Londoner, which had an annual budget of £2.9 million, as evidence that he isn't taking long to live up to his manifesto pledge of getting better value for money from City Hall's £11 billion annual budget.
On top of that Mr Johnson may feel he can point to smaller details such as the reported scrapping of the daily delivery of the left-wing Morning Star newspaper as evidence that his approach is across the board.
Although Mr Johnson originally pledged to close down the trade offices set up by Ken Livingstone in India, China and Venezuela, he later back-tracked and told an electoral hustings of leading business figures in the City that he could be persuaded otherwise.
Mr Johnson is not completely against the idea of London having international links; one of the first guests he received to his new office was New York's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg.

President Chavez was a guest of the former mayor Ken Livingstone
The two mayors agreed to swap personnel and ideas so that both metropolises could learn from each others' best practices.
In the battle of ideologies Mr Johnson's Conservative administration would argue that New York - the city of Boris's birth - is a more suitable partner than Caracas for such exchanges, whilst their predecessors may claim that any deal, no matter what is traded, or with whom, should be struck if there is something in it for London.
If any more international tie-ups are to be agreed by Mr Johnson, Londoners can well expect them to be subjected to a rigorous cost-benefit analysis by Tim Parker.
The unpaid First Deputy Mayor will want to make sure that Londoners are getting value for money.
If anyone doubts Mr Parker's credentials they should remember that his cost-cutting approach earned him the label "Prince of Darkness" from the trade unions during his time in charge of companies such as the AA, Kwik-Fit and Clarks.
Ken Livingstone argued that the deal his administration agreed with Venezuela's state oil company would lead to a quarter of a million of the poorest Londoners benefiting from half price bus and tram travel.
Mr Livingstone maintained that the scheme, whose beneficiaries were those receiving Income Support payments from the government, would lead to a rise in the living standards of some of the most deprived people in the capital.
He has repeated that claim today, and it may well be echoed by those benefiting from the discounted travel.
Benefiting Londoners
Boris Johnson has said he will honour the concessions that the scheme provides until its original end date - August this year - but those that had taken it up will be asking where they will find the money to cover the dent in their back pockets.
Transport for London figures show that after three months of the scheme 56,000 people had taken it up.
And whilst this may not quite be as many as the 250,000 claimed by Mr Livingstone there may still be some disgruntled Londoners for Mr Johnson to soothe; how, or if he'll do this he hasn't said.
But Mr Johnson has claimed that "many Londoners felt uncomfortable about the bus operation of one of the world's financial powerhouses being funded by the people of a country where many people live in extreme poverty" adding that he thinks "there are better ways of benefiting Londoners and better ways of benefiting Venezuelans".
Whilst the impact of this particular cut is relatively clear to see, because of its ring-fenced nature, many millions of Londoners may be wondering what further cuts in spending Mayor Johnson has up his sleeve, and if, and how, they will be affected.
With all this cost-cutting around, one thing that remains to be seen is how quickly Mayor Johnson will complete his pledge to undertake an inquiry into "bureaucratic waste" at City Hall; he thinks he can save 20% of City Hall's publicity and marketing budget.
It was a claim he made repeatedly through his election campaign. No doubt many of the capital's residents will be hoping that those savings and others can be found and that they may even have to pay less council tax as a result.

Khoodeelaar! solves Gordon Brown's 'connecting with the people' dilemma: Just scrap Crossrail hole plot and the people will know the difference...!

On the evidence of past analyses, Khoodeelaar! is confident about Gordon Brown’s potential to turn things around, as far as defusing Ca-Morn’s balloon goes.

But Brown must not tell lies, either. Brown may have begun to put on a smile, but his smile must be real. He must resolve to only smile when the people can freely smile too.

The worries, anxieties and stress that people experience daily, even more frequently, are real. So Brown’s empathy too must be real. True. Honest. Genuine

What Brown should do now is to show that he does not need to wait until things get too volatile before taking decisive action.

We say that the Crossrail hole agenda is stuffed with garbage to the point of unreality

We have said so for 54 months.

From Saturday 31 January 2004 to Sunday 25 May 2008

Now Brown should call Big Business bluff and defuse once and for all the CRASS idea.

He should say, Rod Eddington had the right direction.

And Browns Should say, the people have not called for it.

Crossrail is a toy. It is a ploy for Big Business. For City of London . For Canary Wharf... And for the careerist likes of the insecure, egoistic Ken Livingstone...

If Brown needs extra evidential ammunition, he can cite the ‘small businesses’ objections to the City of London-Ken Living stone ploy forcing the small businesses to make hefty contributions to Crossrail top the extra amount they have to pay to make the City of London’s stunt come true.

There are plenty of OTHER credible and legitimate sources that Brown can cite to destroy the CRASSRAIL hole plot-backing plug that Big Business planted for years via Ken Livingstone...


Brown can do it and he can get ADDED credit for defusing the CRASS rail imposition...

Khoodeelaar! has just summarised the way that Gordon Brown can begin to get back to the ‘prudent’ mode!

One 'world class' device Gordon Brown can still prod behind Ca-Moron's overzealous 'bandwagon' is a dose of truth - about capitalism...

Poverty is alive. And it is about to hit its creators and perpetrators in the face hard! The world class slap is going to be very painful indeed.

In October 2007, I wrote to an apparently North American journalism student doing an apparently media related degree course project on an apparently respectable London university.

She had approached Khoodeelaar! to tell her what we were about. She was a bit late. For it was already at least 2 weeks since Gordon Brown had been on Ken Lyingstill Livingstone's bandwagon.

What I said in October 2007 holds true today. In fact, if anything, the economic c comment of my analysis is even more emphatic now .... than it was in October 2007 when I write that piece [below]

The lesson is that Gordon Brown should pay heed to what I am saying., To what I said before. Not to Meghnad Desai. Desai is off his trolley. As he was a few weeks earlier when he berated Brown as being dim.

Brown is not dim. But he has to get going. He has to s ay that unaffordable and adventurous scams cannot stay. They must go.

And in scrapping CRASSrail,. Brown can cite Rod Eddington. And say that Eddington did 'n think it was a good idea.

Even Channel 4 news said so in October 2007.


So Brown is not alone.....

"

Khoodeelaar! Is primarily about the [economic, environmental and social] defence of the East End of London against the mega plot by Big Business to uproot the local ordinary community and to substitute it with clones who are after making quick cash by destroying the community.
 
Khoodeelaar! Is also the main overall monitor against the device that is Crossrail.

By monitor, we mean to say that we have undertaken the most extensive structural [economic social and constitutional] study and analysis of Crossrail and we are able to refute any promotional claims by Ken Livingstone who has been the key front man for Big Business.
 
Crossrail is dressed up as ‘solving London ’s transport’ problems. That is a lie. Crossrail is NOT about London ’s ordinary transport problems. It is about the City of London interests and their colluders in Big Businesses based at locations like Canary Wharf .
 
The £Billions that have been 'formally stated as being’ committed by Gordon Brown are not rightly committed. It is uneconomic and socially divisive.
]
 
But Livingstone has abused his positions and offices that he has held across London for almost 35 years now and the CURRENT net of Livingstone’s acolytes is erected on the ability that Livingstone has had to squander public money and misuse public office and public facilities in cultivating those.
 
The latest to surface on this is this current edition of PRIVATE LIE, which for the first time has carried a disguised scepticism piece on Crossrail.
 
It is a shielding piece for the idiotic Livingstone.

He has found out that bragging about ‘delivering’ Crossrail was far too early. He did brag on having ‘delivered’ Crossrail some two weeks ago.
 
Now he knows that Brown doesn't want anything to do with raising the remaining funds that this Crossrail project will swallow up.

So he [Livingstone] has turned to Frantic Swine [Francis Wheen] on Private Lie, who has published this contradictory, ignorant piece.

IF Gordon Brown must imitate anyone, and he is as honest and hardworking as Prezza said on the BBC..then he must follow the simple living governor..

Gordon Brown’s ‘lapse’ [his loss of prudence] can still be repaired.

As there are any amount of advice for him, almost all fo it coming from those who would see him imitate the wrong example and model, it is important and timley to remind Brown of one man. He was the man in power.

If Gordon Brown must imitate anyone, and if he is as honest and hardworking as Prezza certified this morning...then Brown must follow the example of the man, the ordinary man who was the governor of his city but hardly lived the life of a governor

No taxi trip accounts... NO expenses account. None whatsoever No John Lewis Expenses account. No Marks and Spencer expenses account....

Has Gordon Brown the morality and the ethics to stop aping emperors?. Has Brown the ethics, the morality to actually drop the offensive infatuation with imperialism? Can Brown turn to the example of the man who spent all his waking hours actually giving up all the trappings of office and in doing everything he could to help the citizens?

Can Gordon Brown make a new ‘PQS’ ?

A PQS in effect.

Pre-Queen’s Speech announcement and mean it, and show that he is go give up the trappings of office and really lead by example?

Will Brown actually start to live as near the bread line as the millions of people in Britain who are pushed into and kept in t? Will t telling the truth on Big Business?

Will Brown drop the alliance with Big Business?

Will he do that?


He can do it if he decides to do it.

Why can’t he drop his ‘alliance’ with the Bechtel-prompted elements that wanted to loot the UK public under excuse fo a London Crossrail?
