Here is a rare item indeed.
A Tory wannabe Parliamentarian actually criticising any aspect of a =Crossrail scam! Not only that, actually pointing out the intellectual confusion of the Lib Dems who are failing to 'get it' about the futility of their Crassrail fixation
"
Thursday’s (12/03/09) Holyrood debate on Aberdeen Crossrail, Ross Thomson, Scottish Conservative Westminster Candidate for Gordon, said:
“The Scottish Conservatives are totally and fully committed to significant improvements in commuter rail services across Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen. In Thursday’s Holyrood debate however, the Lib Dems have remained wedded to the idea that this can only happen as part of a high profile flagship crossrail project. This approach delivered nothing under successive Liberal transport ministers (Nicol Ste-phen and Tavish Scott) and, now in opposition, their protests do nothing to foster cross party consensus.”
“In the current economic crisis, the incremental approach currently promoted by NESTRANS is much more likely to achieve improvements in the short term and build towards the completion of the full project when the capital is available and the case has been fully made for each station development.”
“Having completely lost the political initiative it’s time for the Lib Dems to buy in to the existing political consensus and make sure that the project remains a truly cross-party objective.”
