In the first comment on the Basingstoke councillors' accurate descrsipomn fo CRASSrail, KHOODEELAAR! Organsier Muhammd Haqge has lardy psoted the following:

You report Councillor Horace Mitchell as stating "I don't see a lot of common sense in it,"
Indeed! That is why the KHOODEELAAR! campaign against Crossrail has dubbed the scheme CRASS rail. In the past three days following the formal assent being attached to the Hybrid Crossrail Bill, certain views which only KHOODEELAAR! had stated in the period February 22 2005 to July 21 2008 about Crassrail have also been in effect acknowledged, for the first time' by some of the most fanatic members of the pro-Crossrail propaganda machines. Evidently, they too now realise that Crossrail does not make sense! We argued that the Bill was being passed through the Commons and the Lords -including via the 'Crossrail Bill Select committee' set up in each House- without scrutiny. There was a stooge committee in each House and the 360 odd objectors were not allowed to question the main premise of the Bill. We have shown that the Bill was unconstitutional and are now about to file the long overdue constitutional law challenges in the UK domestic courts. We are doing this so that a sensible solution to transport needs of the areas can be found and funded with the precious, scarce public money. As Channel 4 news pointe d out in October 2007 when reporting Brown’s then election-linked series of publicity statements, the ‘commitment’ of £Billions of public funds to Crossrail was AGAINST the advice of Rod Eddington. Eddington, the former aviation trade executive, had been specially commissioned to do a report on the future of UK’s transport infrastructure....! Brown there behaved imprudently is not too late even now to stop the further waste of £Billions..... Places like Bassingtoke deserve a full and fair say on the transport provisions being planned with public money and in the name of the public in the region...Yours sincerely, Muhammad Haque, Organiser, KHOODEELAAR! No to “Crossrail hole plot....” CAMPAIGN 1725 GMT London Friday 25 July 2008
