2255 Hrs GMT London Wednesday 4 March 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! And Murdoch Times too! Boris Johnson's 'valiant' role as Ken Livingstone's successor as a tout for Big Business CRASSrail is now being mocked by the very same Times-sited City of London –peddler who played a key role in getting Crossrail–promoter Michael Snyder an ill-deserved ‘Knighthood’ last year…
KHOODEELAAR! No to "Crossrail hole/s scam Big Business agenda..." CAMPAIGN watching news on Crossrail [at 2230 Hrs GMT London Wednesday 4 March 2009]:
And one of the items. Listed below for evidential reference, contains the riveting disclosure being reported on the Times newspaper online, which is mocking Boris Johnson’s levy for CrossRail and comparing him with a BIG ISSUE seller… This is significant on several counts. Not least of those being that the same Times-contractee / employee, ‘Martin Waller’, who is doing the mocking and the deriding, has also been the one that has suppressed the highest number of KHOODEELAAR! Comments on Crossrail and on the corrupting Crossrail-agenda-peddling role of the City of London, on the Times online web site… So the question is: why is Waller ‘mocking’ Crossrail-peddling, City of London-plugger Boris Johnson now? As KHOODEELAAR! has described Waller as a tout for the City of London – and amplified that description by detailing Waller’s role in getting Michael Snyder a ‘knighthood’ – it is our modest conclusion that Waller has been chatting with his mates and bosses again and they must have given him to believe that CRASSrail is about to explode into an embarrassing adventure… after all….. We shall be citing evidence of this ‘prospect’ as admitted by the latest Boris Johnson ‘report’ and allied spin, here shortly…[To be continued]

Boris Johnson: 'Buddy, can you spare me a couple of million?'Martin Waller: City Diary
Boris Johnson is on the scrounge again. The Mayor of London, desperate to find the £16 billion needed to build Crossrail, the east-west rail link, has been approaching property firms for a contribution in return for planning clearance, even if their developments are nowhere near the planned route. He wants £20 million from Land Securities for a site in Victoria, another £1.5 million from Land Secs for the “Walkie-Talkie” tower in the City that isn’t going to be built, and £1.6 million from Great Portland Estates for a site near Fetter Lane.
“The Mayor is keen to establish from the outset the principle that developments which will add to demands on the rail network should help support the rail link scheme,” his office confirms. “He is equally aware that such an approach should be reasonably pragmatic at this stage.” Indeed; an earlier approach elsewhere for funds was fobbed off with a mere £120,000.
It seems a little undignified, the Mayor going around like a Big Issue seller taking whatever is going. “All right, guv, no magazine, but can you spare a few bob for a cup of tea?” I wonder if he has a dog on a string?
