KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO!

That Gordon Brown was wrong to follow the agenda set by Big Business..

That Big Business was bad business for people.. That Big Business was at the centre of the crassness that is festering the ‘economy’ in Britain [and beyond] because Big Business did its greed business at the expense of decent, ethical and sustainable business.. .. That Big Business had neither the intention to back society nor any care or concern for the standards of society.. that unfettered access to public resources given to Big Business would only make matters worse for the greatest numbers of people and that it was the duty of ALL GOVTs, all politicians occupying positions of power in Government and others with INFLUENCE in and OVER Government [ the Government ‘of the day’] to behave in ways that were transparently compatible with the aims and objects of a caring, accountable and fair society….


KHOODEELAAR! can update on this analysis and say that to our ‘surprise’ even the Morning Star, which is NOT a transparently democratic voice of reason against vested interests [as it is mesmerised by the Crossrail scam touts like Ken Livingstone and assorted others of that ilk] is now deriding Gordon Brown on Brown’s flawed economic policy…..KHOODEELAAR! is also noting this morning [Tuesday 13 January 2009] the exhibition of signs and at this stage we go no further than saying only that, on the UK House of Commons Conservative Opposition front benches, of recognition of the fact that CROSSRAIL scam was indeed a liability which the UK public should not be lumbered with.……


We say this in a qualified way at this stage because of the hesitation and the contrivance that were noticed in the words, the speeches delivered from the Conservative [Tory] side during a short ‘debase’ [it was thus not a DEBATE, of which more in a later part of these commentaries] on the Crossrail tax imposition Bill pushed through to the [procedural] Second Reading stage during Monday 12 January 2009… For a start, there were not enough MPs speaking on the topic.

And those that did speak, lacked the necessary knowledge of the subject..


And those who did appear to have relatively accurate knowledge of the implications of the latest CRASSrail measure to penalise the Uk ordinary public, were lacking in any commitment to vigorously defend the ordinary public and to throw out the latest piece of Big Business agenda….


KHOODEELAAR! constitutional rights and law commentary is applicable in this context BOTH to what the UK parliament does or fails to do and in a purely analytical way to any comparable other forum or legislature….


What we are saying in and from London UK today is this: that UNLIKE the hypes and the gloss and the propaganda surrounding the imminent formal taking of office in the SA by the latest recipient of electoral approval regarding the occupation of the office of President over there in the 'United States of America' , the real solutions to the widely recognised economic crises lies with the peoples’ of the world being vigilant, alter and genuinely freely active to hold our own parliamentary representatives to account and through this our own alleged Governments to account…..


If it is true that what Mr Obama says and does has implications far beyond the shores of the USA then it is also true if not more so that what the Bechtel Corporation does and craves have implications far outside the shores of the USA….


Bechtel being the publicly known single biggest corporate interest influencing the Gordon Brown-fronted Blaired regime in the UK to push the Crossrail Bill into the Crossrail Act….


Are the UK Conservatives [=also known as 'Tories', thus rendering totally irrelevant the historical distinction that used to exist between the words 'Tory' and 'Conservative'] up to the task of rebutting and reversing such pernicious attacks on democratic accountable law-making ?

Are the David Cameron-faced Tories able to synchronise their words of concern at the crassness of the Crossrail tax with their potential facilities to stop the crassness of Crossrail going out of control? Can Cameron call a halt to crass Crossrail ? Or is Cameron merely window-dressing while in fact being political, ethically morally denuded and undressed of substance? Has Cameron the courage to confront crass Crossrail and its callous conceivers and save the UK polity of this liability that neither the economy nor a future prudent Government can afford or need?
