2140 Hrs GMT London Sunday 30 August 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! Original analysis and commentary on the UK economics, politics and degeneration by Big Business Crossrail agenda-peddling forces…and their touts…Now even the Rupert Murdoch ‘News of the ******” has no option but to admit the truth. So overwhelming is the evidence that they have to, if they are to retain any credibility to James Murdoch’s claims that his ‘new’ organisation has any relationship with the facts on the ground! So we read in the print edition and on their web site [before Murdoch makes it inaccessible again as part of his prosperity and regeneration tactics] that the 2012 Games ‘work’ in East London is not ‘working for people in the East End of London’ after all….
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That the boasts of Ken Livingstone – who was allowed to utter a clear boast on BBC TV Question Time in April 2008 to the effect that he had LIED to get the 2012 Olympic Games hosting to London to “regenerate the East End of London” [quotation marks and paraphrasing of report added] – were actionable at criminal law, has come true again. That the KHOODEELAAR! Representation of our demand, made by us at a formal session of the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council in 2007 included our then latest analysis and diagnosis to the effect that BOTH Crossrail and the 2012 games Hosting were being hyped by criminally irresponsible, anti-social, corrupt self-seeking touts who had flagrantly violated the evidence, that neither would benefit local people… has come true again…. Has been vindicated again…[To be continued]

OLYMPICS WON’T WORK FOR US
Migrants beat locals to jobs
LOSERS: Brits miss jobs
By Sophy Ridge, 30/08/2009
A STAGGERING 225,000 foreign workers have been signed up to build London's Olympics, sparking fears that Brits are LOSING the race for jobs.
Ministers promised the billions invested in the 2012 Games would be a LIFELINE for local workers and firms.
But the Olympic Development Authority (ODA), which is battling to get locals into the jobs, has found many of them unwilling to give up their BENEFITS.
And migrants are swiftly moving in to grab the work on offer. So far 224,720 migrants have signed up for jobs in the five East London boroughs hosting the Olympics since Britain won the bid in 2005. Many of the areas have high long-term unemployment and thousands of residents have NEVER done a day's work.
In Newham 17 per cent of people have always lived off benefits, and in Tower Hamlets it's 16 per cent. Labour MP Frank Field said: "There are 225,000 causes for shame here. People come from all over the globe to work in the Olympic boroughs - yet we can't get locals into work."
Last night an ODA spokesman insisted: "We give priority to local people seeking jobs."

shouldn't the question be why are we paying people benefits when they are making no effort to find work? Stop giving free hand outs to these scroungers and they will soon start working then there will be no need for foreign labour

yes there are plenty of skilled construction workers but when agencys are offering polish and other migrant workers at less rates of pay the locals can,nt work for such a low rate. I have worked in the london area for over ten years on various projects including T 5.you may get the odd 1 or 2 that have some idea but on the whole pay rubbish you get rubbish but the accountants just see profit for the multi nationals

I live in New Zealand. The other day i was speaking to British backpackers who were on holiday here. They were trying to get jobs here in NZ or Australia, i asked them the reason why. They just replied they can't get jobs because of the of all the foreign labour, they work for any type of wage. Can you tell me if this is true?

An apparent lack of work ethic amongst the able bodied on social benefits. We make it too easy for those on the dole.

If thats the case then the wages ODA are paying must be lower than people getting benefits which i find strange as £60 per week unemployment benefit is peanuts next to £25,000-£30,000 a year salary which i guess the ODA are really paying their builders.
Building is a very skilled job and not every one can do it, but ones who can should grab it with both hands and thank their lucky stars that they would have escaped the recession by getting these jobs.
What ever they build now will have life long bragging rights as they can say to people :- Look I built that and no one can put them down.
Any one with two brain cells can work out even if these jobs are contracts and are for 6-24 months, getting around £25,000-£30,000 a year salary is still much better than being stuck on the dole getting peanuts each week.

Dear Home Office,
How can several thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians work here at all as only people with work permit can work in England from these countries.
Surely the construction industry does not lack skilled workers in England?
Check their immigration status!
