KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! NOT even BORIS JOHNSON had a clue, let alone ANY MORALITY or evidential or constitutional CLOUT to say what KHOODEELAAR! had said for years about Ken CROSSRAIL HOLE PLOT peddler Livingstone's abuse of the post he held in the name of the people of London..... That Livingstone was irresponsible with the finances and that he was callous with those..... Now, after 8 years of Livingstone's doing it.... the INCUMBENT in the same post says some of the things... and contained in the GLA news releases... and at the Boris Johnson News event staged at the xxxxty Hall London SE1 today [Thursday 4 September 2008]... Then Boris Johnson REVERTS to the same fabricating form as was typical of Livingstone himself... Boris Johnson makes claim to be delivering 'Crossrail' as if that phrase[ is somehow enough top lift the office of the mayor in the name of London to a level where it is seen as and is actually accountable to the people of London.. It is not... Boris Johnson is on notice from KHOODEELAAR! that he will have to answer for any MORE of the Crossrail hole agenda-peddling utterances that he may make in addition to those as had been made by Ken Livingstone himself... Boris Johnson must know, especially on a day when he is announcing cuts to the budget and rises in the fares for bus and tube in London that Crassly is NOT affordable, that Crassly is not the answer to the needs of London... Boris Johnson must not become another Ken Livingstone when it comes to contradicting and giving false statements....KHOODEELAAR! will publish later this evening [Thursday 4 September 2008] the next part of our analysis of today's utterances by the CRASSly-'advised' and lobbyed peddler of CRASSRAIL hole, that Boris Johnson, .[To be continued]

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...

North-east Crossrail scheme ‘doomed’
TRANSPORT SCOTLAND BRANDS PLAN WEAK AND QUESTIONS POTENTIAL DEMAND
BY CAMERON BROOKS

Published: 03/09/2008

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! contextual comment on the poverty, the 'inhuman' housing, in Tower Hamlets

Ms Cavendish says she lived in Bangladesh. And then, in an apparently unrelated statement, says of living conditions in parts of Tower Hamlets [in inner city East London] to be 'inhuman'. Her ‘answers’ to the problems linked with ‘immigration’ leave out the real answer: that of addressing the current resources and the wealth in countries like Bangladesh and the wants and the needs of the people in them. Just societies must be established in those countries. The wealth and the resources shared within the parameters of universal justice and humanity. Migration from those countries is not the answer. Unless it is accepted that inhumanity is ‘the way forward’!
