KHOODEELAAR! Updater reports on the stooged ‘London Assembly’ that has failed to Question Crossrail at all.
Contextual update and introduction:
How the 'Greater London Assembly' has behaved as a stooge assembly with ALL 'party groups and groupings' behaving like voluntary zombies. This is contrast to the image of a 'live' Assembly that is conveyed by the BBC broadcasting the charade Question Time with the wasteful and the ego-based holder of the post of mayor in the name of the people of London. The GLA has not called the mayor top account. Nor indeed has it done the same on any other holders of power- wielding
posts affecting the people of London...
There is no debate. There is no scrutiny. Worth mentioning. Worth making any difference for the level of democracy, for the level of accountability in London, for the people, ordinary people of London...
The stooge assembly was created by Blair to allow the mayor to enjoy the powers.. Of course Blair had not expected that the outcome of the first elections in 2000 would turn out the way it did..
But what about the rest of the 'politicians/ in the so-called trade unions?
They are staging a sort of come back, with Tony Woodley becoming the BBC's first trade union agent who is treated almost the same as ‘a normal politician’, as opposed as a ‘controversial', token, part in an irregular feature’ on the world beyond the realms of normality….
The elected holders of 'democratic' office at the GLA have not shown that they even recognise what democracy is supposed to be...
These are jobsworths GLA members or Assembly members as they prefer to call their titles....
They are not doing the democratic job... But then that is not a rarity. That is the norm,. Across the Thames on the other side at the Palace of Westminster, the same thing goes on... What there is is a Palace of Charades...
[To be continued]
