KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! that 'transport in London is being messed up by Big Business-Stooged Crossrail peddlers holding positions of power

KHOODEELAAR! told you so! That the Big Business Crossrail scam was not about addressing the vital transport needs of London. Not of the ordinary people. That no ‘benefit’ as ordinarily understood, would or could accrue to ordinary people from the crassly conceived Big Business Crossrail scam. That any ‘benefit’ that may be available, would be available only incidentally. Peripherally. Not centrally. Not as the intended main purpose of the scam. That ALL the scams like the over-hyped SITING - [note, the siting] of the 2012 HOSTING of the Olympic games in ‘East London’ was NOTHING WHATEVER TO DO WITH benefiting ordinary people..

The claim that it was to ‘regenerate’ the ‘East End’ [the lying boastful bragging claim made a year ago in April 2008 on the BBC Question Time programme by Ken Livingstone] That the military-style prevention of a small, very loyal and law-abiding crowd of ‘protesters’ from the ‘Excel’ site in ‘East London ‘ [notice those two words, ‘East London’ - which words denote ‘deprivation’ dating back centuries... not one decade.

Hundreds of years] yesterday Thursday 2 April 2009 from demonstrating within hearing distance of the venue of the formal sitting of the G20 stunt, shows that there is no limit to the brazenness in the lie that they will perpetrate in defiance of any expectation that ordinary people have any right to use the space in any part of the ‘East End of London’ or ‘East London’ to make legitimate ordinary use of it for their own human rights..


.That ‘East London’ [and the variation ‘East End of London’] has become appropriated [=misappropriated] by the Big Business and their state-sited stooges and touts in the propaganda war which is on now, is being ignored by the professional, authorized and approved politicos of ALL hues in the known spectrum of ‘British’ politics...

This includes those ‘protesters’ who were eventually visible [note that word ‘eventually’] in ‘East London during Thursday 2 April 2009.. The G20 ‘protesters’ were in the main genuine.. But who led them? Whose agenda were they implementing in their ‘protests’? How similar were those protest-agenda-setters to a significant number of ‘objectors’ [‘who acceped the derogatory designation of ‘petitioners’] against the Crossrail Bill during january 2006 and July 2008?

"Boris accuses MPs of 'talking tripe' over transport nightmare
'It is not within my competence to stop the biggest downfall of snow we have had over the skies of this city for 20 years'

London's transport network was severely disrupted by the snow in February

ENLARGE
Boris Johnson's famously short fuse was on full display yesterday when he berated MPs for "talking tripe" after they criticised his handling of the heavy snowfall that brought chaos to London in February.

The Mayor, who was being questioned by the Commons Transport Committee about the disruption, accused MPs of "unnecessary political bias" before attempting to walk out of the meeting. He was briefly coaxed back to his seat by the committee's Labour chairman, Louise Ellman, who described his behaviour as "unacceptable". After giving curt answers to two further questions, the Mayor left his seat, only returning to pick up his coat from an official.

Heated exchanges took place from the very start, when Ms Ellman suggested that Mr Johnson had allowed London's transport network to shut down in a way that did not happen elsewhere. All of London's bus network, parts of the Tube and some local train services were affected by the severe weather. Her comments provoked an angry response from Mr Johnson, who said that "huge effort and huge preparations" had been made to grit roads, but that more snow kept falling. "It is not within my competence to stop the biggest downfall of snow we have had over the skies of this city for 20 years," he said.

The Mayor's rapidly diminishing patience then gave way altogether when he described David Clelland, Labour MP for Tyne Bridge, as "pathetic" for accusing him of failing in his duties.

The exchange came after Valerie Shawcross, the Labour chairwoman of the London Assembly's transport committee, had told the MPs that the Mayor had been "entirely out of things" when the effects of the snow were at their worst in the early hours of 2 February.

Mr Johnson also faced criticism over his expenses yesterday after a City Hall audit revealed he had spent eight times more a day on taxis than his predecessor, Ken Livingstone.

Taxpayers picked up his cab bill of £1,501 between November and the end of January. Susan Kramer, the Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, criticised the expenses claim. She said: "Any Londoner could have told him that it is often quicker to travel by Tube, like the rest of us."

A spokeswoman for Mr Johnson said: "The Mayor cycles every day – to and from work and to almost every one of his meetings. Many of those however are in remote parts of outer London – areas which often feel neglected by the previous mayoralty which he is determined to visit on a regular and persistent basis."

The spokeswoman added: "Though the Mayor invariably uses public transport when he cannot take his bike, there are times – regretfully – when his tight schedule makes it necessary to use a taxi."

London MPs criticised the Mayor earlier this year after the public picked up a £1,000 transport tab to take him and his team home after a meeting in Hillingdon, west London. A spokesman for the Mayor said that the meeting ran late into the night."
