East End of London points the way to Blair to save any remaining 'honour'
Notocrossrail- No to Crossrail hole Bill campaign in Brick Lane and Whitechapel | 31.01.2007 05:18 | Social Struggles | London
Just as the London Metropolitan Police were fielding [on Tuesday 30 January 2007] of the huge media questions over the latest arrest Blair-peer Levy in connection with the cash for sleaze system that keeps some in the UK Parliament’s upper chamber the so-called House of Pee-ers, a deputation of people from probably the poorest, the most deprived part of inner city England, arrived at No 10 Downing Street. The deputation delivered a hand written letter giving Blair probably the most valuable and crucial advice anyone had ever given him whilst he was still in occupation of the post that is identified with that address, to save his fast disappearing legacy.
Khoodeelaar! Update on Blair's legacy - scrap Xrail, scrap poverty, scrap denial
The deputation backed the Khoodeelaar! Campaign against the Crossrail hole Bill, one of literally hundreds that have been introduced into the system since Blair entered No. 10 Downing Street just under 10 years ago.
The campaigners told Blair to scrap the CrossRail hole Bill. It is callous. It is irresponsibly drafted. It is full of holes. And it is fundamentally flawed.
The Khoodeelaar! Memo to Tony Blair from the East End of London said that there was no economic sense in the CrossRail hole Bill.
They said that there was no moral sense and there was no ethical sense.
Blair would do well to scrap the callous Crossrail Bill and probably save his fast disappearing legacy from total extinction.
If Blair leaves behind the heap of attacks on the already socially, economically and democratically disenfranchised then there would be no question of any legacy behind associated with his regime and time in power.
There will be calamity and catastrophe and crime writ all over his name and his records.
As the campaigners against the Crossrail hole attacks on the East End of |London hold a series of events across the East End today Wednesday 31 January 2007 observe the 3rd anniversary of the foundation of the campaign against the CrossRail hole Bill, Blair and his ‘advisers’ will do worse than to pay close heed to the advice from the East End campaigners.

KHOODEELAAR! is telling G Brown again: drop fakery, scrap wasteful Crossrail, tell the truth
1325 [1220] Hrs GMT London Tuesday 29 September 2009:
Editor © Muhammad Haque. Khoodeelaar! Is the campaign, which has been engaged in the defence of the inner city East End of London against Crossrail hole scam. Against CrossRail hole scam AGENDA. And against the policies that are based on the prejudice, on the greed, on the ignorance typified by Crossrail the Big Business scam. We have argued and have matriculate the argument against corruption in policy-making. We have cited the crassness of the Crossrail Bill that has been allowed to be left in the texts and in the ‘powers’ as contained in the rubber-stamped ‘CrossRail Act’ now in the theoretical statutes book of the UK.. We have spotted and drawn attention to the absurdities that litter the pronouncements of the placemen and place-women who have been collected together by the Blairing regime to promote the interests of the looting entrepreneurs who trade under the guises of the local council, the Greater London Assembly and the Palace of Ghostsminster… We have initiated the evidential, factual, democratic demand for the decision-makers to be held to account and to be seen to be so.. We have shown that ‘Crossrail’ is a crass, calamity in terms of the wastefulness of the indulgence that Brown keeps on boasting about. Brown boasts of it because he craftily calculates that promising loosely ‘benefits’ to aggregated images of people that are in target areas like the inner cities, will allow him to perform the trick of carrying of a moral deception on society…We Told G Brown so! And we told A Darling so. And we told P Hain so. And we told Jacquie Smith so. And we told Harriet Harman so. And we told Tessa Jowell so. That LYING was not an option. That lying did not pay. That lying was not a value. Yet G Brown is prone to stick to peddling lies at the staged jamboree [oops! At a much-reduced size and number!] now on at Brighton, apparently set to be given the hyping climax this afternoon as pegged to the OTT-primed and promoted G Brown spiel... In fact G Brown is set to confound his fabrications even more than they already are. We told the lot of them that inner city East End of London was not part of the society, which they are now painting at Brighton. They are saying that that fantasy society has been their ‘achievement’. That the BBC’s lunchtime support service just uttered by Mark Easton to Sofi Raworth on BBC1 in the past 10 minutes, is not going to add any substance to the fakery to the effect that the Blaired Party has made an almost trademark claim, with justification [as suggested by Mark Easton] to the de facto programme against Anti Social behaviour… That neither G Brown nor the BBC nor indeed Mark Easton can make any difference to the fact that the latest evidence of the Blaired brigades violations of the rights off the innocents in parts of ‘society’ that are consigned to be occupied and taken over by criminal elements with the tacit approval of the ‘local state’ the local councils. It is against this background that we say that Brown and Darling are going to be exposed as having got the ‘economics’ of inner cities wrong too. Look at the faces this afternoon as the BBC loyally pans the cameras, does the strategic close-ups to show faces of alleged angst and see if you can see any real faces there. If you again spot the face of Ken Livingstone, being treated by the BBC as an authentic commentator on the real world, listen out for any sound bye that may relate to the essence of poverty and deprivation in the East End of London. The very place where K Livingstone descended in the last weekend in April 2008 and absurd the history and the struggle against violations and racism as he made his braying plea for the votes to remain in occupation of the main room at the Onion near the Tower Bridge in London SE1. Livingstone brayed as did his band of octogenarian ‘supporters’ and the paid leafleteers, mostly "ethnics" [more on this in later updaters on KHOODEELKAAR! web sites and related blogs] just arrived from ‘Muslim-like’ countries, who had promised East End voters loads of dosh if they voted for Livingstone on 1 May 2008. None of the K Livingstone brigade that was physically displayed at the ALTAB ALI PARK on that weekend even said the words Altab Ali victim of racism and victim of racist neglect by the local state in London. They did not ;’waste’; any of their ‘election canvassing time’ on referring to the Altab Ali memorial park. They did not even know the people - some present at the very spot where K Livingstone was making his personally career-linked plea-who have been battling for rights for decades against all violations in the East End of London … KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against Big Business Crossrail scam agenda is part and parcel of the movement that includes the defence of the community against those who attacked Altab Ali on that Thursday in May 1978. The elements, the stooges, the touts whom Ken Livingstone has cultivated in the inner cities and in particular in the East End of London have been parasites that have foisted themselves upon a fabricated image of the community their own, greedy, craven and mostly surrogate ones... They are the ones that G Brown in true Blairing form and shape, has been backing and approving of.. Those photo shoots that are staged in the East End of London with 'visiting' 'ministers' 'personalities' will come back to haunt them. Those martial law-type media jaunts that Jacquie Smith has featured in with the servile participation of surrogate elements at the expense of the suffering people of inner city Tower Hamlets, will come back to haunt them, to embarrass them beyond recovery… As the inner city East End of London careers off course and out of control... Society is significantly broken in the East End of London. In Tower Hamlets in this context….. and it is going to get even worse.. And the fault is the corrupt local council and its colluder co-agencies that have been in denial..... As they have been in denial about the Big Business CRASSrail agenda. It is those same elements that have been party to the perpetration of mis-educaton and NO EDUCATION. THEY HAVE BEEN colluding with the programmes of the local Council

Editor © Muhammad Haque. Khoodeelaar! Told you so!
This morning’s banal platform made available to the ‘Prime Minister’, as the ‘reliable servant’ Andrew Marr addressed Gordon Brown on the David Frost smarmy-slot now additionally faked as the Andrew Marr Slow [a KHOODEELAAR! coinage this SLOW here in context and evidentially] on BBC 1 TV [Sunday 27 September 2009] was another insult to the people who continue to be frustrated by the lack of integrity in the BBC’s ‘current affairs’ slots. Not only has BBC ‘Editor in Chief’ [what a joke! What an utter insult that] Mark Thompson [being reported today to have abused his position again and appointed a widely known dummy to ‘head’ the BBC TV fakery projects] [Ooops! ‘Arts’] failed to establish any integrity in the BBC but he has made things even worse than they have been over the past 50 years.. In descending order, the BBC has been lowering the standards and this shows in the number, the range and the frequency of items promoting the BBC’s image that it places inside what should be objectively edited and presented factual items. Like on Saturday [26 September 2009], the BBC Radio 4 contained an alleged ‘Any Answers’ comment that had an allegedly British person[=’Anglo-Saxon’!] having just returned from ‘abroad’ [NOT the USA. ‘Abroad’ in such contexts is Asia or Africa or South America] and to pledge her mental servitude to the slogan ‘BBC is the best broadcasting organisation in the world ever..”. The presenter, who is another accomplished time-server inside the BBC and hails from ‘the North of the border’, like Andrew Marr and Gordon Brown do, ensured that his earnings and his commission and expenses from the public via the BBC were intact and would be boosted, by failing to quiz that mental slave peddling the lying role of the BBC as the ‘world's best broadcaster ever’. He should have asked the caller to substantiate the plug. But he did not. Because that was what the piece placed was intended to be, another BBC plug for the BBC… This behaviour by the BBC, which is twisting the evidence to placate the ‘administration’ in place, is increasingly getting out of control. As was seen in the slot on BBC 1 TV that followed the one Marring the truth this morning. That was Nicky Campbell. The Big Question. His presentation was indeed far too small. The shrieking Campbell who had mounted his career ambitions via the ITV before that outfit began to sink due to lack of truthfulness and relevance, appeared in the trade-mark, BBC-ised version of the shrieking ‘interrogator’ who duly let in a staged performance by a sub-blonde East European or similar, making a most bizarre OVER THE TOP plea for complacency and for lack of accountability!!! How the BBC employs its own surrogates! How it finds them. How it programmers them. How it pumps them, primes them and sets them off upon the mostly already zombified majority of viewers and listeners. From all backgrounds and with all shades of practised fakery perpetrating backgrounds…. As if that list of litany for the Brown-fronted Blairing regime via the BBC was not bad enough in one single morning, they made it even more horrible by bringing back Tony McNulty [still harrowing from Harrow, north-west London] under another slender pretext and let him promote his personal career without being challenged on his own records against democracy and for discrimination and unconstitutionality. The ONLY even mild criticism of the Brown-fronted regime is done by the routine list of hired ‘outsiders’. Like the Daily Telegraph group-based self-serving craftsman Andrew Pierce who had worked for Rupert Murdoch’s operations in Wapping in 'East' London. Pierce will never scrutinise the BBC on such a platform as the Breakfast slot on BBC1.... No wonder then that not one of these four slots, all-factual, supposedly, told the facts to the public today. No wonder that Andrew Marr did not quiz Brown on his contradictory cuts confessions… It is up to the KHOODEELAAR! campaign to tell Brown the truth..
KHOODEELAAR! Told Brown two years ago, as follows:
“Khoodeelaar! Tells Gordon Brown to show his ‘honest leadership’ by rejecting the lies the dishonesty of the CrossRail hole promoters, by requiring of Douglas Alexander –or whoever Brown may put at the DfT–to show that the current Crossrail hole Bill is scrapped and it is scrapped for the simple reason that it is flawed and is untenable and by making sure that a proper and thoroughgoing examination of all the pros and cons of any transport plan for London is undertaken before another Big Business corruption ploy is foisted upon the UK treasury, by rejecting the contamination by Crossrail hole-plot tout ‘Undone mayor Ken Livingstone’ of the political and social atmosphere ….”

Crossrail-hole-Minister Alistair Darling's ‘plea’ to Khoodeelaar!
© The Author / Khoodeelaar / CBRUK /lawmedia 2006 | 04.03.2006 14:49 | Analysis | Indymedia | Social Struggles | London | World
UK Transport Secretary Alistair Darling MP has had his Department for Transport [DfT] write to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign in the East End of London against the Crassrail hole Bill as part of a strategy to salvage the careers of the controlling Blairite Tower Hamlets Council. Khoodeelaar! held another powerful demonstration against that Council on Wednesday 1 March 2006.
The 1 March 2006 Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Council demo was supported by RESPECT coalition MP George Galloway and by the main Opposition on Tower Hamlets Council, the Liberal Democrats. At the Council meeting that followed the same evening, Lib Dem councillor Louise Alexander sought to have Tower Hamlets show recognition to the community and to identify with the community in opposing the Crassrail hole plan attacks Bill.
The controlling clique failed to recognize the momentous importance of the motion and they even jeered at Councillor Alexander part of the time that she was presenting her arguments in support of the motion.
The only other non-Lib Dem councillor who supporter Louise Alexander was the RESPECT councillor Oliur Rahman
In his speech at the Khoodeelaar! demonstration earlier in the evening, Oliur Rahman described the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council as crooks and vowed to do everything he and his colleagues could do to remove them from office at the scheduled 4 May 2006 council elections.
What Alistair Darling, the UK Crossrail hole {Transport] Minister, is doing to ‘help’ salvage the sinking careers of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council facing the wrath of the people determined to stop the Crossrail hole attacks on the East End of London
A khoodeelaaronline report 1420 Hrs GMT Saturday 4 March 2006
UK Transport [Crossrail hole-Bill] Minister Alistair Darling, MP, makes another lame plea to Khoodeelaar! on behalf of Tower Hamlets Council !
Alistair Darling’s Department for Transport ahs sent a letter by email on Friday 3 March 2006 to Khoodeelaar organiser Muhammad Haque.
Crossrail-hole-Bill promoter Alistair Darling MP has not yet cottoned on to the fact that the East End community opposition to our area being devastated is not a temporary affair.
This opposition will continue and will grow. The only solution to this is for Darling to drop the whole Crossrail hole plot. To scarp the Crossrail hole Bill and to start again. Without a hole against our community. Without a hole in our community.
Nor has Alistair Darling understood the fact that he cannot get away with breaking the very laws on whose existence in the UK statute book he relies for his legitimacy as a bona fide member of a bona fide ‘democratic’ Government with claims to expect the community to abide by decisions that that Government makes.
Darling had his Department for Transport [DfT] write to Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque in February 2006.
In that communication the DfT made the plea that the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council had been in touch with the DfT and that the DfT was listening to the Council over concerns on the Crossrail hole problems.
That communication was intended to ‘reassure’ the Khoodeelaar! Campaign organisation that Tower Hamlets Council was ‘indeed’ representing the concerns and the opposition of the local community against the Crossrail hole.
There cannot be any ‘reassurance’ on that at all unless there is incontrovertible, categorical and unconditional resolution by the full Council saying No to Crossrail hole attacks on the East End.
And that evidence could have been produced by the ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council on Wednesday 1 March 2006.
The Council ignored the opportunity.
The ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council squandered that opportunity.
The ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council showed contempt to that opportunity.
Tower Hamlets Council ‘leadership’ of Michael Keith is so contemptuous of the people in the Borough that it fabricated a bureaucratic scenario which it then used to waste as long as three hours of vital council meeting time.
They did that to defuse the power of the argument typified in the motion formally put to the council by [Lib Dem] councillor Louise Alexander asking for the Council to show that it had woken up to the dangers posed by the Crossrail hole to the East End community.
That Alistair Darling ploy will not work because there is nothing in the hundreds of A4 pages of ‘statements’ ‘positions’ and ‘explanations’ so far published about the Crossrail plan by or in the name of or at the behest of the controlling clique on the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council which shows any sign that Tower Hamlets Council is being ‘led’ or ‘controlled’ by tellers of the truth.
Those who have been in control of the Tower Hamlets Council do not tell the truth and they do not recognise the truth when we in the community tell it.
And nothing has been more staggering as a confirmation of the Tower Hamlets Council’s illegitimate but actual ‘leadership’s inability to tell the truth than their behaviour on Crossrail hole over the past three years.
Tower Hamlets Council’s ‘controlling clique’ has lied to the community in the past three years and falsely claimed that the Crossrail hole plan would ‘bring benefits’ to the community.
How could the Crossrail hole plan bring ‘benefits’ unless the controlling clique had taken total leave of its senses!
Digging a hole in the Brick Lane London E1` area could not bring any benefits
Digging a hole could also trigger off all kinds of unforeseeable but possible environmental disasters linked with remains of devises that might be lying buried there from the 1940s war time bombing in the East End.
Digging a hole in the Woodseer street is no different at all from digging a hole in the Hanbury Street or in the Princelet street.
Digging a hole entails a thousand other assaults that will be made on the lives of thousands of people in the East End.
For no reason.
There is no economic reason for doing that.
There is no social reason for doing that.
There is no environmental reason for doing that.
There is no justification whatever for doing or wanting to do any of the Crossrail-hole things in any part of the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
So why are the Tower Hamlets Council so adamant that they openly lie to the community?
Alistair Darling’s DfT letter to Muhammad Haque on Friday 3 March 2006 repeats essentially the same line that the DfT has been in receipt of information from the London borough of Tower Hamlets Council.
But nothing about the allegations that khoodeelaar! had been making against the lying clique on Tower Hamlets Council and including the serious allegation supported by documentary evidence that that clique had abused its control over the constitutional and the elected entity of Tower Hamlets Council.
Alistair Darling’s DfT letter to Khoodeelaar on Friday 3 March 2006 does not deal with the Khoodeelaar! demand for action by the DfT against the liars over the Crossrail hole plan.
The DfT [constitutionally responsible MP is Alistair Darling ] letter to Khoodeelaar contains further pretence of its ignorance of the khoodeelaar representations of the past 26 months about the lying clique in control of the Council in their bid to promote the agenda of the Crossrail promoting vested interests.
The key facts contained in the past 26 months of the Khoodeelaar representations to both the DfT and to the offices of the UK Prime Minister and the UK Finance Minister [Chancellor of the Exchequer] have been about the role of the identified members of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council.
The key role and the key culpable conduct – misconduct - by those identified members of that clique on Tower Hamlets Council has been the brazen lies that the clique have told to local people in the Brick Lane London E1 area.
They lied in that they never told the community that a Crossrail hole plan was even being discussed by the Council for YEARS.
They lied when the community got to know about that and the Khoodeelaar! movement against the hole plan began to take form in January 2004.
They lied when they then said that they did not know what the plan was.
They lied when they said that the campaign against the hole was doing nothing but spreading unnecessary scares
They lied when they then claimed that the khoodeelaar! campaign against the Crossrail hole was not dealing with ‘regeneration’ ‘benefits’ that the Crossrail hole would bring to the Brick Lane London E1 area..
They lied when they stayed silent to questions that khoodeelaar! put to them.
They lied when they then contrived with the employees of the Tower Hamlets Council including Christine Gilbert the Council’s chief Executive, to arrange to block emails being sent from the campaign against the Crossrail hole.

Crossrail-hole-Minister Alistair Darling's ‘plea’ to Khoodeelaar!
© The Author / Khoodeelaar / CBRUK /lawmedia 2006 | 04.03.2006 14:49 | Analysis | Indymedia | Social Struggles | London | World
UK Transport Secretary Alistair Darling MP has had his Department for Transport [DfT] write to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign in the East End of London against the Crassrail hole Bill as part of a strategy to salvage the careers of the controlling Blairite Tower Hamlets Council. Khoodeelaar! held another powerful demonstration against that Council on Wednesday 1 March 2006.
The 1 March 2006 Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail hole Council demo was supported by RESPECT coalition MP George Galloway and by the main Opposition on Tower Hamlets Council, the Liberal Democrats. At the Council meeting that followed the same evening, Lib Dem councillor Louise Alexander sought to have Tower Hamlets show recognition to the community and to identify with the community in opposing the Crassrail hole plan attacks Bill.
The controlling clique failed to recognize the momentous importance of the motion and they even jeered at Councillor Alexander part of the time that she was presenting her arguments in support of the motion.
The only other non-Lib Dem councillor who supporter Louise Alexander was the RESPECT councillor Oliur Rahman
In his speech at the Khoodeelaar! demonstration earlier in the evening, Oliur Rahman described the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council as crooks and vowed to do everything he and his colleagues could do to remove them from office at the scheduled 4 May 2006 council elections.
What Alistair Darling, the UK Crossrail hole {Transport] Minister, is doing to ‘help’ salvage the sinking careers of the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council facing the wrath of the people determined to stop the Crossrail hole attacks on the East End of London
A khoodeelaaronline report 1420 Hrs GMT Saturday 4 March 2006
UK Transport [Crossrail hole-Bill] Minister Alistair Darling, MP, makes another lame plea to Khoodeelaar! on behalf of Tower Hamlets Council !
Alistair Darling’s Department for Transport ahs sent a letter by email on Friday 3 March 2006 to Khoodeelaar organiser Muhammad Haque.
Crossrail-hole-Bill promoter Alistair Darling MP has not yet cottoned on to the fact that the East End community opposition to our area being devastated is not a temporary affair.
This opposition will continue and will grow. The only solution to this is for Darling to drop the whole Crossrail hole plot. To scarp the Crossrail hole Bill and to start again. Without a hole against our community. Without a hole in our community.
Nor has Alistair Darling understood the fact that he cannot get away with breaking the very laws on whose existence in the UK statute book he relies for his legitimacy as a bona fide member of a bona fide ‘democratic’ Government with claims to expect the community to abide by decisions that that Government makes.
Darling had his Department for Transport [DfT] write to Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque in February 2006.
In that communication the DfT made the plea that the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council had been in touch with the DfT and that the DfT was listening to the Council over concerns on the Crossrail hole problems.
That communication was intended to ‘reassure’ the Khoodeelaar! Campaign organisation that Tower Hamlets Council was ‘indeed’ representing the concerns and the opposition of the local community against the Crossrail hole.
There cannot be any ‘reassurance’ on that at all unless there is incontrovertible, categorical and unconditional resolution by the full Council saying No to Crossrail hole attacks on the East End.
And that evidence could have been produced by the ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council on Wednesday 1 March 2006.
The Council ignored the opportunity.
The ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council squandered that opportunity.
The ruling clique on Tower Hamlets Council showed contempt to that opportunity.
Tower Hamlets Council ‘leadership’ of Michael Keith is so contemptuous of the people in the Borough that it fabricated a bureaucratic scenario which it then used to waste as long as three hours of vital council meeting time.
They did that to defuse the power of the argument typified in the motion formally put to the council by [Lib Dem] councillor Louise Alexander asking for the Council to show that it had woken up to the dangers posed by the Crossrail hole to the East End community.
That Alistair Darling ploy will not work because there is nothing in the hundreds of A4 pages of ‘statements’ ‘positions’ and ‘explanations’ so far published about the Crossrail plan by or in the name of or at the behest of the controlling clique on the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council which shows any sign that Tower Hamlets Council is being ‘led’ or ‘controlled’ by tellers of the truth.
Those who have been in control of the Tower Hamlets Council do not tell the truth and they do not recognise the truth when we in the community tell it.
And nothing has been more staggering as a confirmation of the Tower Hamlets Council’s illegitimate but actual ‘leadership’s inability to tell the truth than their behaviour on Crossrail hole over the past three years.
Tower Hamlets Council’s ‘controlling clique’ has lied to the community in the past three years and falsely claimed that the Crossrail hole plan would ‘bring benefits’ to the community.
How could the Crossrail hole plan bring ‘benefits’ unless the controlling clique had taken total leave of its senses!
Digging a hole in the Brick Lane London E1` area could not bring any benefits
Digging a hole could also trigger off all kinds of unforeseeable but possible environmental disasters linked with remains of devises that might be lying buried there from the 1940s war time bombing in the East End.

Digging a hole entails a thousand other assaults that will be made on the lives of thousands of people in the East End.

There is no social reason for doing that.

KHOODEELAAR! continuing to dissect Vince Cable's confession that Crossrail IS Crass [2]
2115 Hrs GMT
London Monday 21 September 2009:
Editor © Muhammad Haque. KHOODEELAAR! TOLD Vince Cable so! That the ‘economics’ as ‘practised’ in the UK were ignoramics! That the basic foundation of the economy were being ruined by the ignorant personnel who have been occupying the positions of making decisions about ‘the economy’ and about ‘economics’. That production of goods and services were being curtailed, almost wantonly undermined while gross and grotesque indulgence in debts and debts-creation were being exhibited by the Govt and its colluders in the removal of sustainability from the UK economy.. That the UK Houses of Parliament have become Houses of stooges, touts and time-servers with not a clue as to what was causing the crisis while they, these touts etc, regularly claim and pocket their expenses, their salaries and their pensions- whichever ploy is the most plausible. And there is no audit of the executive. At no level. Today’s Stephen Glover scare-piece, wail-a-thon in the printed DAILY MAIL [Monday 21 September 2009] is another insult to the intelligence. Glover, who is given prime spot by the DAILY MAIL, lacks integrity of evidence. Today he is paraded as stand-in for another, even shriller wailer, Melanie Pee. She is apparently away. Wish that Mel P never got that wail-a-thon spot in the DAILY MAIL again. She dishes out misinformation and prejudice. Against objective universal demands needs and requirements of evidentiality. As does Glover. He, like Mel P, is a packaged Daily Mail ‘feature’. They are ignorant. They are predictably prejudiced. And they are doing great disservice to the cause of universally applicable - and necessary - journalism of watching out for the truth. They are letting the real villains stay in posts and do democracy and accountability down. Today, Stephen Glover, the ‘Mel P stand-in’ does the routine. He misses key facts and instead latches onto cheap sloganeering. Tired, old, obsolete, boring, inappropriate and unproductive sloganeering. Glover never raised an eyebrow about the stupidities of ignoramics in Britain. Nor has Mel P. But then Mel P is not slotted in the Daily Mail to support education. She is positioned to spread prejudice, ignorance and insecurity. This is why despite the pitches that the Daily Mail occupies in the alleged Middle England, the DAILY MAIL MEDIA GROUP is suffering serious business losses. As are its alleged rivals. They are its colluders in the media ‘trade’. They, like the Daily Mail, wear guises. They shriek and they scream. They do both in the name of “England’. And they let the English people down. They suppress the truth and they let the perpetrators get way. The odd scare-story ‘target’ is not the real villain. It is often a small piece. The system remains unchanged. The audit remains unconducted. And this is why the UK economy has come to the sorry pass that it has done. Because the mainstream media, as typified by the Daily Mail, has failed to raise the alarm it should raise every single day. As has the ‘mainstream UK Parliament’. It is the real scandal. Had there been an active, interrogative, intelligent and alert parliament in the UK, there would then be truth coming out to the public about what the UK Executive was getting up to. But there is no such parliament. As we have said now for a year since we devised the analytical, diagnostic phrase, the Palace of Westminster is in practice the Palace of Ghostsminster. And Vince Cable is a ghost. Contrary to the platform that he has been given by the Mail group on their Mail on Sunday. Cable is not justified in assuming that he is ethically morally or democratically legitimate in making the comment ONLY TODAY that ‘Crossrail is not a key priority’. Given that he did not say so in the years that the ‘Crossrail Bill’ was being passaged through the two Houses of Parliament and their stooged members on the ludicrously plaint ‘select committees’, it is necessary to ask Cable: why? Why had he allowed his Lib Dem co-Mps, like Tom Brake and Lynne Featherstone to keep uttering those stupid, zealous, fanatic wails for Crossrail? There is a culture of corruption, abuse and greed dominating the behaviour of those who control the key places in the remnant of the ‘UK economy’ So with no sound economic base, the country is heading for a far more serious crisis than either Glover or Cable show they are capable of appreciating. This has been seen in their meek role when the crassly contrived CrossRail scam was being undemocratically pushed through the two Houses. When Alistair Darling was used as an agent of the vested interest set on looting the UK economy under the pretext of Crossrail, the debate – that was a debase indeed! – that was staged in the UK of Commons on 19 July 2005 did not include any systematic, reasonable dissection from V Cable of the seriously flawed piece. Why had Vince Cable taken his eye off that one?

KHOODEELAAR! contextually and evidentially noting Lib Dems' Vince Cable's confession: Crossrail is crass!
1325 [1315] Hrs GMT London Monday 21 September 2009:
Editor © Muhammad Haque.
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD Vince Cable, the Lib Dems' finance spokesman in the UK House that he should disown CRASSrail as it was uneconomic and unsustainable.….Vince took some time. Today, Monday 21 September 2009 he is reported by the CRASSrail-backing London EVENING STANDARD to have cottoned on, under pressures of economics and even more importantly for the Lib Dems’, under pressures of electoral desperation. They are now forced to give up the fantasies and banalities.... Cable now confesses: Crossrail is crass! Well, Vince has his own words for decrying the scam. We call his statement as admitting that he now recognises Khoodeelaar! told him so aptly and accurately... That the Big Business, City of London, Bechtel-backed Crossrail was nothing but a crass ploy to loot the UK public via hiked up taxes and to rob the regional public of £Billions that should be spent on really urgent provisions…[To be continued]

Today, Monday 21 September 2009 he is reported by the CRASSrail-backing London EVENING STANDARD to have cottoned on, under pressures of economics and even more importantly for the Lib Dems’, under pressures of electoral desperation. They are now forced to give up the fantasies and banalities.... Cable now confesses: Crossrail is crass! Well, Vince has his own words for decrying the scam. We call his statement as admitting that he now recognises Khoodeelaar! told him so aptly and accurately... That the Big Business, City of London, Bechtel-backed Crossrail was nothing but a crass ploy to loot the UK public via hiked up taxes and to rob the regional public of £Billions that should be spent on really urgent provisions…[To be continued]

KHOODEELAAR! dissecting Ben Bradshaw stunt on BBC and the BBC..
1055 [0740] Hrs GMT London Thursday 17 September 2009: Editor © Muhammad Haque. KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! Scrap the BBC Trust! So, even the BBC says so. As read out by the Today programme, just a minute ago. So we say too SCRAP the BBC Trust. It is nothing to do with trust. The BBC has been faking it for years. For decades to be precise. It is time the BBC told the truth about politics, policies and the price people have to pay for the lying holders of positions with alleged power over the ordinary people. The BBC cannot be allowed to keep covering up for the untruthful holders of positions in the state while it tells the truth only as an exception. Telling the truth has got to be the norm. Ben Bradshaw himself fails when he fails to recognise the real deficit of the BBC. Has Bradshaw called for the BBC to start examining his [Bradshaw] own record? Would he dare? Has Bradshaw got the integrity, the ethics and the morality to face up to his cheerleading role as a propaganda peddler for Blair’s war on the innocents? That would be the true test of telling the truth. Just as the BBC has to stop lying so must the Bradshaws of the world of opportunism must be made to face up to their role as the peddlers of lethal lies against uncounted numbers of innocent people… As BOTH sides lack the deep commitment and integrity necessary, both are going to resort to their own side’s excuses and carry on. How can they do so? Because there is no democratic society in Britain. The democracy that there is is a sham one with the participating perpetrators profiting the most from their pretentious parades as they mislead the public…. The BBC has NEVER broken a single major story, despite the claims it permanently displays all over its portals. Even when other sources and organs do the disclosing, the BBC fails to acknowledge those others’ contributions. The BBC has been able to behave in this way because of the arrangement that exists between it and the position-seeking, position-keeping politicians on the one hand and the vested interests and Big Business and their own cabals on the other. Ben Bradshaw has not shown that he even knows the depth of untruth that is the ‘political culture’ of which he is a part and a type. Bradshaw deserves to be made to recognise and tell the truth. But that task is not going to be done by the BBC. Backdoor deals will make sure that the truth is concealed and the public given daily doses of fakery. When the BBC primes the listeners and viewers with the over the top announcements, as it did yesterday [Wednesday 16 September 2009], that David Cameron was about to make yet another epoch-making announcement, it never delivers in fact and on the fact. It never brings any evidence of such epoch making pretensions to any point of truth. Cameron was thus allowed to make a monumentally untruthful claim yesterday about the list of candidates. He did not have to justify the claim. Because the BBC did not interrogate him. And so he got away with the claim that thousands of people from all walks of life applied to become Conservative party MP candidates. He then read out a script that was totally untrue. The impression Cameron gave or the impression he gave of his intention was that ordinary people from across the UK had responded to his call and he had accepted a good number in context. Yet any basic look at the list he spouted out would show that these people were unrepresentative of the ordinary people that Cameron was claiming them to be. The people he identified were even more Tory than the Ca-moroned Tories themselves. So why didn’t the BBC examine that list? The BBC dare not. To question the questionable claims by Cameron would have exposed the BBC to momentarily ‘rigorous’ accusations that it was biased against the Conservatives. The BBC is biased.
That bias is not Party-based. Or ideology-based. It is a bias that is based on the BBC’s bureaucratic need to preserve itself. The BBC has confected a world as based on the leis it has told over decades which is hard for any single Party to undo. Not that there exists any party in the UK that even knows this. There is no Party that would want to undo the BBC’s frame of lies. The utterances by Ben Bradshaw are to be seen in that context. Bradshaw, himself a courier of a curriculum vitae that contains an entry with the BBC in it, is not about telling the truth. His utterance is a stunt. It is about getting the BBC to make a deal that will bring Bradshaw's career ‘gravitas’ and enhancements. For the time being. And then Bradshaw will hope to move on to pastures even more profitable for himself than he has experienced so far. As a career practitioner of the craft of lying, Bradshaw knows where his stunt will land him. He will then strike a deal. That is what he is about. Not about telling the truth. That is why the Today programme played at rigorously questioning the embarrassing chair of the untrustworthy BBC Trust in today's show. Despite Ms Montague’s scripted words of fake objectivity, the item was as bogus as all the other ones that the BBC from time to time indulges in staging about the Corporation. In any case, how could the Trust man be the source of any objective criticism of the Trust and of its role? In the UK Parliament the BBC is given unlimited access to record millions of words of garbage that are uttered by the stooged MPs and peers. Between the stooged ones and the BBC there thus exists this accord of lying for mutual career protection. The stooged ones do not tell the truth and the BBC does not point this out. What the BBC does point out is any sign of real audacity. Anyone in Parliament who shows any audacity against the culture of lying is treated as a suspect. As the BBC did in June 2008 when David Davis, the Ca-moroned Home Affairs shadow, announced that he was resigning as an MP in protest at the 'database' society that Britain was becoming... Davis himself had an agenda. But his personal agenda was far less damaging to any democratic efforts than the damage done to those by the BBC in ‘reporting’ Davis' announcement to step down as MP and force a by-election. The latest in-house fakery icon, James Liedale Landale, embarked instantly on a demolition job against David Davis……[To be continued]

KHOODEELAAR! HAS BEEN TELLING GORDON BROWN SO! That callous imprduent indulgence was NOT economically responsible behaviour.
2350 Hrs GMT London Tuesday 15 September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! HAS BEEN TELLING GORDON BROWN SO! That callous imprduent indulgence was NOT economically responsible behaviour.
That peddling the agenda contrived by Big Business was neither economic nor responsible. Nor necessary. That there has been no demand for a Crossrail in London. Other than by Big Business and their not-so-big-business touts on the ground in the UK..
That Crossrail is CRASS by definition. Look at who is peddling it and you know it is crass. G Brown is better off ditching it and with that overdue act still avoiding £Billions of unnecessary waste and debt.. Getting back to understanding the UK economy is a far better priority than abusing the ‘powers’ of office ......ALL indications show that vast amounts of scarce resources and money will be injected into making Big Business even richer at the expense of ordinary people...How does G Brown square that with the pious utterances he made at the TUC on Tuesday? Or how does Jim Knight square that with the hesitant, half-digested words of pious ‘responsibility’ that Knight uttered on the BBC as he was recorded speaking to Laura K'burg on the same day?

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That touting for Big Business has been the norm for UK cabinet ministers and their likes
1205 Hrs GMT
London
Sunday 13 September 2009
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That the Blair-Brown regime’s peddling of the Big Business Crossrail scam could only be explained by the regime’s t being influenced by Big Business!
The Mail on Sunday today [13 September 2009] at page 42 carries only one news item, [and two advertisements] with the news item headlined “Hutton’s job with French nuclear firm he backed in £12.5bn deal”.
Hutton is of course a just-retired [from the cabinet] British Secretary of State for Business! While in post in that capacity, says the Mail on Sunday, Hutton had given the go-ahead for the ‘giant’ French firm EDF “to buy many of Britain’s existing and future nuclear power plants!.
EDF is comparable to the USA conglomerate BECHTEL, which we have been referring to as part of what J K Galbraith diagnosed as the ‘Military Industrial Complex’.
Like the French EDF, the USA-based BECHTEL is playing increasing parts in taking over the UK with the attendant agenda engulfing all key aspects of society and public life. And politics.
Where there is no reason, no justification, no basis, no demand in ordinary sense for a ‘project’ and yet the ‘project’ keeps getting fanatic backing from Govt ministers and ‘on-message’ MPs and Peers, there can only be lobby. Outside influence. And worse.
As the English ‘satirical’ [!] magazine ‘Private Eye’ admitted in a rare display of connection with the truth of what the Blaired regime, fronted by G Brown was getting up to, the ‘Crossrail Bill’ [February 2005 to July 2008] was clinched and rubber-stamped into the ‘Crossrail Act’ [July 2008] under the influence of the same USA conglomerate BECHTEL which exerted that influence through an aide to a former ‘Transport’ Secretary [cabinet Minister in the British Govt, fronted by G Brown by the time the rubber-stamping occurred] Douglas Alexander, reported ‘Private Eye’.
It is notable as we have been noting since ‘Private Eye’ made that one single brief reference to the Crossrail Big Business Military Industrial Complex scam, that ‘Private Eye’ has not published any [other] investigative report on the ‘Crossrail scam’ .
The ‘Dr Beeching’ column, which is a dedicated feature of ‘Private Eye’ reporting on the British railway operators and their many failures and scams, has been given over to issues and failures that are very much smaller than the sum of money and the impact on democracy that Crossrail represents.
Why would ‘PRIVATE EYE’ be so shy on making any substantial and sustained exposé on the Crossrail scam?
By its own published measurements, the ‘Crossrail scam’ contains all the wrongs and misuses and abuses that have been focussed on by ‘Private Eye’ in relation to those hundreds of smaller ‘stories’.
It could not have anything to do with the cushy and cosy commissions and promotions that Ian Hislop receives from the BBC could it?
Or could it have anything to do with the increasingly ‘regal’ appearances and facilities indulged in by the same Hislop, could it?
Shurely not?
We should be told! Surely!
Can we expect the next edition of PRIVATE EYE, scheduled to hit West End newsstands on Tuesday [15 September 2009] , to carry a detailed follow up on the periodicals’ almost reluctant admission on the BECHTEL role in getting the ‘CrossRail scam’ ‘legislated’ via the UK Houses of Parliament?

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD THE BBC So! and the 'local' newspapers in inner city East End of London: Quit lying for Big Business, tell the truth on Big Business
0050 [0025] Hrs GMT London Sunday 13 September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! is part of the ethical movement that has been actively arguing with hourly evidential vindications and substantiation for over 40 years that the BBC must be stopped from telling lies to the world. In the past hours, the BBC has been flaunting Robert PESTON as the allegedly authoritative economics state reporter. Unfortunately for the BBC and PESTON, we know PESTON. In fact the KHOODEELAAR! movement was probably the only one to spot the infant in the very early years of his now over-hyped career. So we know that PESTON is hollow. As shallow as are his LEADING questions. Loaded packs of lies, more like. Just like the BBC likes them. Neither PESTON nor the rest of the BBC’s over-paid and even more over-promoted ‘economics and business correspondents’ had a clue as to the current crisis hitting the economy. If they did posses any clues and were briefed by their still un-declared ‘sources’ then they kept the facts to themselves. So the question is, why allow this shallowness to be described in such highfaluting terms as the BBC keeps describing them? Surely the test must be delivery of the goods. That is, the truth. And if they are culturally and careeristically and ‘educationally’ brainwashed to only tell lies and half truths then why give them these grandiose titles and even grander pay cheques at the expense of the licence-paying public in the UK? We have argued for years now that the BBC has lied for the Big Business CRASSrail scam. And we are saying that the lying is not at all confined to the BBC. The arch-lying outfit ARCHANT that has now gotten hold of the series of sinking ‘local’ ‘newspaper’ titles including the ‘East London Idiotiser’ and the “Newham Recorder’, has been abusing its control of these decaying titles and making them even more untenable than they are already by getting them to lie for CROSSRAIL in even more insane terms than they usually attach to the zealous, fanatic promotion of anything Big Business peddles…..[To be continued]

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO showing the way to spot diagnose and defeat poverty in the inner cities UK
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO showing the way to spot diagnose and defeat poverty in the inner cities UK
Our [the KHOODEELAAR! No to “the Crossrail hole scam agenda” Campaign’s] opposition to the agenda behind the Crossrail scam has been based on a multiplicity of evidential grounds. Unlike the lying propaganda by Big Business CrossRail scam peddlers, we are talking about the real people in the real east End of London. In the East End, the level of education is low. By any objective independent universal standard. The state of social stability is poor. This is linked with economic failures in the local area. The level of antisocial behaviour is acutely high for the ordinary community. These are inter-linked. There is no evidential likelihood in the foreseeable future that of the ordinary demography of Tower Hamlets that is contexed in the past 50 years, the locally raised locally schooled people who are in need of sustained economic opportunities are going to get any mentionable jobs in the construction of the 2012 Olympic Games hosting venues and faculties. We have said that the same applies to CrossRail. And we have shown this for years by regularly updating on the evidence. And we do so this week too. This is the week after the week when the local Tower Hamlets Council again indulged in the grossly unjustified boasts about the ‘GCSE’ results. As always, they have concealed the truth and have presented the results in a way that shows that ALL the young people who have taken the particular exams, have done very well. This lying is part and parcel of the lying agenda that Tower Hamlets Council pursues. This lying is sinking the local ordinary population into unjustified traps of deprivation and underachievement. Crime and anti-social behaviour are the sure results and consequences of this agenda. So why is Tower Hamlets Council able to lie like this?
It can do this because there is no noticeable political factor on the Council that is holding the controlling clique and its propaganda organs to account to the local community. And the so-called independent local paper the ‘East London Idiotiser’ which keeps on about being denied vital advertising revenue by the operation of the Tower Hamlets council’s ‘in house’ ‘East End Lies’, is not helping the cause of holding the Tower Hamlets Council to account. Despite the claims that the East London Idiotiser is independent of the local Tower Hamlets Council, on key issues of politics, of political culture, of economic factors or on issues to do with general issues of concern to the community in East London, the East London Idiotiser is just as corrupt, just as untrustworthy, as unreliable as the controlling clique and its colluding elements on the local Tower Hamlets Council. What the East End Lies does in promoting the fakery and the bogus achievements of the Tower Hamlets Council and in concealing the truth about the unmet needs of the ordinary people in Tower Hamlets, the East London Idiotiser does under only a slightly different cover. There is NEVER even a suggestion in any of the so-called reports as published by the East London Idiotiser on the GCSE results and their equivalents in Tower Hamlets that there is a LARGER NUMBER of pupils and exam-takers who are failing with permanent and lasting deviating effects on their lives and career prospects… Indeed, as there is nothing in EITHER the East London IDIOTISER or in the EAST END LIES about the job cuts affecting some parts of the ‘Tower Hamlets College’ [a name that may suggest that the College is part of Tower Hamlets Council – it is not]. Just as there is no recognition by the ‘East London Idiotiser’ of the jobs cuts threatening the livelihoods of so many so there is no truthful reporting of the same events by the EAST END LIES. Yet the EAST LONDON IDIOTISER claims to be ‘a proper local newspaper’ as compared to the Council-peddling ‘East End Lies’.
The East London Idiotiser is indeed entitled on the evidence to call it’s “a p local newspaper’ when the ‘p’ is ‘prejudiced’ NOT proper. Prejudiced against the truth. Independently objectively verifiably evidentially PREJUDICED local newspaper. For decades – five to be precise – the East London IDIOTOSER has been mis-edited and mis-published in East London. With decreasing relevance or link with the reality, the prejudiced East London Idiotiser has told lies lies and lies. It makes an exception whenever it spies an opportunity that will enable it to keep the business going. This is not a way to run a local newspaper.
Is it any wonder then that the East London Idiotiser has been openly callous in its ‘praise’ of the Crossrail scam-backing Tower Hamlets Council clique? The very ones whom the same East London Idiotiser feigns to criticise, even to condemn for publishing the Idiotiser to extinction by the persistent funding of the 'in-house' propaganda organ ‘East End Lies’?
There is not a single line of difference between the servile stance taken by the ‘East London Idiotiser’ for the Big Business Crossrail scam elements and the position taken by the East End Lies owned and published by the Tower Hamlets Council clique.
Between the two of them, the East End Lies and the East London Idiotiser have been hiding the fact that the Council has been causing new deprivation to the people in the borough as well as adding to the existing deprivation, poverty and denial.
The facts therefore cannot support the assertions by Crossrail peddlers that building that diversionary too

KHOODEELAAR! Told you so! Big Business interests spawn even bigger greed in their touts..
0030 Hrs GMT London Friday 11 September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! Told you so! Big Business interests spawn even bigger greed in their touts... And on the day that witnessed Barnet London Borough Council's 'mayor' Coleman being found guilty of abusing his position and insulting a locally based blogger, the very fact that G Osborn could even make a claim about Tory Councils 'showing the way' is itself an abuse...
And despite their apparent awareness of Barnet's ambivalent location in the league table of Osborn's fantasy Conservative Councils, the Murdoch Times fails to tell the truth about the outrage of undemocracy that is the idea of local council in England.
Of any colours politically. And of all colours. The Councils are not accountable. They are not democratic.
They are not competent except in letting the councillors and their assortments of entourages and hangers on make the loot and pocket the proceeds…
The same is true of the London Assembly. It is an emabarassing symbol of Tony Blair’s corruption legacy.
The Assembly is a standing joke...Blair could not have understood democracy at all if he had any central part in crafting the collection.
It is not made up of democrats. It is made of time-serving little timers. As is the post of ‘mayor’. It is a grotesque denial of the ethics and the requirements of accountability. The post can only be justified if its occupant is under due and daily scrutiny...
It is not even under scrutiny annually... It is a charade. It is a sham post and it is only suitable for the promotion of ego and cravings…
How can the occupant of that post be painted by Friday’s Times newspaper and the week’s Daily Mail as fit even for the current office, let alone for the office of the country’s highest ranking civilian post? They can only do that if they too are strangers to democratic accountability…
[To be continued]
KHOODEELAAR! Told you so! Big Business interests spawn even bigger greed in their touts... And on the day that witnessed Barnet London Borough Council's 'mayor' Coleman being found guilty of abusing his position and insulting a locally based blogger, the very fact that G Osborn could even make a claim about Tory Councils 'showing the way' is itself an abuse...
And despite their apparent awareness of Barnet's ambivalent location in the league table of Osborn's fantasy Conservative Councils, the Murdoch Times fails to tell the truth about the outrage of undemocracy that is the idea of local council in England.

KHOODEELAAR! Updating on our comments on Brian Coleman [on the UK magazine New Statesman, web site]. Coleman on BBC showed his crass career identity
0055 Hrs GMT London Tuesday 08 [2325 Hrs GMT London Monday 07] September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO!
KHOODEELAAR! Updating on our comments on Brian Coleman [on the UK magazine New Statesman, web site]. Coleman on BBC showed his crass career identity
That Brian Coleman was indeed ‘too good to be true’, in that incredible aside against [!!!!] the corrupt City of London as published by the New Statesman [the magazine itself has been corrupt, more of that in a later piece]. Coleman now backs Alan Duncan and decries David Cameron’s action. Even worse, Coleman defends the ‘rations’ reference by Duncan and says that it was not really Alan Duncan’s fault! It was the SECRET RECORDING of the utterance that is to blame! As if the mentality of greed is not to be denounced. As if the utterances themselves are not to be renounced. It was the being caught ‘off guard’ that is to be addressed! Coleman is not just an amoral self-seeker. His record at the Greater London A******ly is stuffed with abuses of ‘office’, not to mention that record making taxi fares claim… And this is only the tip of the iceberg. And well before we get anywhere near Barnet London Borough Council where Coleman is proving to be a liability that will be disposed of sooner than Coleman thinks. Or the BBC does. It is clear that the BBC under Mark Thompson are on an agenda which is operated by giving platform to discreditable, amoral individuals to waffle idiotically under any excuse. One excuse that is making sick making ‘broadcasts’ is the nutty slot misleadingly called 'newspaper' ‘reviews’. It is nothing of the sort. It is another scam contrived by the corrupter elements in the BBC to discredit the media…Not an unlikely partnership there Coleman is an ally of Boris Johnson who is still a fanatic tout for the City of London… There is no evidence of any moral distinction between their choices… These are the ‘politicians’ that the London public are supposed to defer to, respect and follow… No wonder they all peddle Crossrail, a huge tool to enable Big Business to loot the UK public…. Crass role indeed

KHOODEELAAR! told G Brown and A Darling so, for years! Putting the MAIL ON SUNDAY in context and perspective
2030 Hrs GMT London Sunday 06 September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! Told Gordon Brown so.
We recall this and update our diagnosis of their combined role today, Sunday 06 September 2009, as they are both exposed as being entangled in faking it. In fabricating it. In the words of Alistair Darling as reported today by the MAIL ON SUINDAY, in lying. We told Brown to not have anything to do with lying. We told him to steer clear of lying. And we told Alistair Darling too. That they must not fake it. That they must not fake the figures. That they must not deny the facts. And that they must only tell the truth.. We told BOTH G Brown and A Darling as far back as February 2004 and we have been telling them ever since. This picture [see on the left panel] is one of a large number of items of evidence showing the KHOODEELAAR! campaign in action. This one was taken at the 22 January 2006 meeting held in the Hanbury Street [off Brick Lane] London E1 in support of the KHOODEELAAR! campaign against the Tower Hamlets Council's invitation to the agenda of the Crossrail hole scam..... Over 1000 people turned up to attend the meeting. many were not able to gain entry, due to pressures of 'security'. The hundreds that did get in, were unanimous in backing the KHOODEELAAR! campaign and in supporting the demand made by the keynote speaker seen here holding up an item of evidence that condemned the role of Tower Hamlets Crossrail hole-inviter Council...

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! Claims by Crossrail-peddling place-men and place-women that there were 'jobs' for ordinary folk in the East End, are exposed...
This exposure takes place not by any express reference to Crossrail scam itself but by the admission of lying that is now writ so large on the walls of ‘Whitehall’ that even the Mail on Sunday can read it.
Why be so ‘sarcastic’ about the Mail on Sunday?
Because the Mail on Sunday has yet to admit its own suppression of the truth about the economy in general and about its discredited denial of the fact that Crossrail is crass. The Mail on Sunday staff knows very well that Crossrail is an increasing embarrassment for all who have peddled it. Yet the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail have been refusing to publish the facts.
The Mail on Sunday has not published the fact that CrossRail is a serious liability. As opposed to the SUNDAY PEOPLE whose Political Editor, Nigel Nelson was ahead by a good few weeks of even Simon Jenkins in calling for the scrapping of Crossrail..
Now that the Mail on Sunday [06 September 2009] has published in today’s editions the ‘news’ that Alistair Darling – and Jack Straw- have in effect called Gordon Brown a liar on jobs [and on the ‘Libya deal/s’ ‘denials’] there must be no more hesitation on the part of the pushers of the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail in publishing the truth about Crossrail.

Brown claim to have saved 500,000 jobs 'is a lie' says DarlingBy Simon Walters
Last updated at 10:23 PM on 05th September 2009
Comments (73) Add to My Stories Gordon Brown has been accused of ‘lying’ by Alistair Darling in a vicious feud that threatens to wreck the Government’s attempt to combat the recession.
The Chancellor has enraged the Prime Minister by refusing point-blank to back Mr Brown’s claim that his multi-billion-pound bailout of the banks has ‘saved 500,000 jobs’.
In an astonishing show of defiance, Mr Darling argued the claim cannot be substantiated and has told the PM to stop repeating it.
No love lost: Mr Brown and Mr Darling at the G20 yesterday but they are said to be 'barely speaking'
The row is the latest sign of a dramatic collapse in confidence in Mr Brown at all levels of the Government’s ranks. His authority suffered a fresh series of blows yesterday as:
Justice Secretary Jack Straw effectively accused Mr Brown of lying about the Lockerbie bomber row.
Senior Labour aides said ‘drift and indecision’ inside No 10 was compounded by the PM’s ‘agitated state of mind’.
Labour MPs threatened to mount a new bid to topple him when they return to Parliament next month.
Mr Brown and Mr Darling put on a fleeting public show of unity at the G20 finance meeting in London yesterday, but insiders say that behind closed doors they are barely on speaking terms.
Downing Street sources confirmed yesterday that the Prime Minister had caved in to the Chancellor and would abandon his plan to deny Labour will have to cut spending if it wins the General Election.
More...Chancellor beats off German move to cap bankers' bonuses
MPs earn 50 times more than constituents - just for their jobs on the side
The Mail on Sunday has also learned that Mr Darling won a second victory by refusing to follow Mr Brown’s claim over the number of jobs saved by Labour’s anti-recession package.
Under heavy pressure from Mr Brown, Mr Darling used the 500,000 claim in his April Budget. But after being told it was based on ‘flimsy evidence’ he refused to repeat it - even though Mr Brown keeps on doing so.
As recently as July 22, the Prime Minister told a Downing Street Press conference: ‘If we had not intervened and acted decisively at least a further 500,000 jobs would have been lost.’
Mr Darling is instead making the much more vague assertion that the Government’s measures have saved ‘up to 500,000 jobs’.
The freeze in relations between the two men follows the Prime Minister’s disastrous attempt in June to sack Mr Darling and install Education Secretary Ed Balls as Chancellor. He was forced to scrap the plan at the last minute by a Cabinet uprising.
A Treasury source said: ‘The PM is like a drowning man who will clutch at anything to save his skin. No10 is always asking us to support publicity stunts or launch bogus attacks on the Tories based on highly questionable figures. Most of them are pointless.
‘Alistair is not prepared to go along with it. He will do what is right for the country and wherever possible what is right for Labour. He is not going to cut corners because No10 is in a panic.’
Mr Straw added to Labour woes by admitting for the first time that oil and trade were a key part of the Government’s decision to include Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi in a prison transfer deal with Libya.
Asked whether trade and oil firm BP were factors, Mr Straw declared: ‘Yes, (it was) a very big part of that. I’m unapologetic about that... Libya was a rogue state. We wanted to bring it back into the fold. And yes, that included trade... and subsequently there was the BP deal.’ His statement flatly contradicts Mr Brown’s claim that there had been ‘no conspiracy, no cover-up, no double-dealing, no oil deal’.
The provocative actions of Mr Darling and Mr Straw are a further indication that, as the prospect of Election defeat looms closer, senior Labour figures are looking to protect their own reputations rather than Mr Brown’s.
The growing Cabinet dissent is mirrored inside No10 where there are frequent reports of shouting matches involving the Prime Minister and his advisers.
‘The atmosphere is so bad inside Downing Street that normally sane people start to lose control,’ said one official. ‘Brown is more agitated than ever. He takes it out on them and they take it out on us.’
Meanwhile, the issue of Mr Brown’s leadership yet again may be raised at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party group of backbenchers in October.
'We are facing a landslide defeat with him at the helm, we can’t pretend it isn’t happening,’ said one MP. ‘Getting rid of Gordon is the one thing that could scare the Tories.’

Briefly from East London
Friday 4 September 2009
Jade Goody’s memories are still fresh in the mind. As, it seems, are the antics of her widow. What kind of widow does that!
Then there is the admission by C4 TV bosses themselves: they can’t justify making money by flaunting Big Brother any more.
Question is: why had they ever thought that they were justified?
With Wapping, East London-based £multi-Billion making machine the Murdoch Corporation making it plain that they too are about to concede defeat, it is high time that the assumptions by media owners about media morality were challenged.
How much better would society have been had there been a moral requirement upon the media?
How many ills in society today could and ought to have been avoided by there being a morally alert and honourable media?
And how is it that with so much proliferation in multi-media accessibility there is almost no evidence of any morality in the ownership, control and use of the media.
Why would anyone pay any attention to any ethical statement from these media when people know full well that the media do not place morality at the centre of their agenda?
In fact the more disclosures are made under say the Freedom of Information Act, as has happened in the past 48 hours with the BBC London reporting the attempted abuse of the MPs’ expenses by Boris Johnson when he had been an MP from Michael Heseltine’s former constituency of Henley, the clearer it becomes that the media owners do not tell the truth. Or at least it shows that the media owners do not behave morally consistently.
We are here pointing the finger at the owners of the Daily Telegraph. They are reported to be paying Boris Johnson a quarter million quid. A sum that Boris Johnson has likened to chicken feed. In fact Boris Johnson has acted in a scathing way in his public statement in defence of that payment from the owners of the Daily Telegraph. He has gestured and uttered to the effect that the said payment was an almost unsolicited offering by the owners of the Daily Telegraph. In that packaged performance, Boris Johnson has exposed his own stance Vis a Vis morality. It is apparent from that performance that to him, morality is an optional surplus which he has damn well chucked in the bin, and rightly so!
Quite how Mr Johnson would have assumed any of that whilst still believing that he was within the requirements of morality is not clear. To any morally aware person, Mr Johnson has shown that he is not bothered about morality there.
Nor, it seems, are the owners of the Daily Telegraph who have for some unstated reason allowed him to be paid the chicken feed amount.
How strange that the Daily Telegraph has been celebrating an almost uncontested publishing coup over its reporting of the unredacted receipts of MPs expenses and assorted other claims and yet has been unable to bring itself to look in Mr Boris Johnson’s cupboard thoroughly enough!
That Mr Johnson is engaged with the Daily Telegraph albeit on a mere chicken feed of £250,000.00 for agreeing to put his signature to 50 odd pieces per year, has of course nothing at all to do with that oversight…

With Wapping, East London-based £multi-Billion making machine the Murdoch Corporation making it plain that they too are about to concede defeat, it is high time that the assumptions by media owners about media morality were challenged.
How much better would society have been had there been a moral requirement upon the media?
How many ills in society today could and ought to have been avoided by there being a morally alert and honourable media?
And how is it that with so much proliferation in multi-media accessibility there is almost no evidence of any morality in the ownership, control and use of the media.
Why would anyone pay any attention to any ethical statement from these media when people know full well that the media do not place morality at the centre of their agenda?
In fact the more disclosures are made under say the Freedom of Information Act, as has happened in the past 48 hours with the BBC London reporting the attempted abuse of the MPs’ expenses by Boris Johnson when he had been an MP from Michael Heseltine’s former constituency of Henley, the clearer it becomes that the media owners do not tell the truth. Or at least it shows that the media owners do not behave morally consistently.
We are here pointing the finger at the owners of the Daily Telegraph. They are reported to be paying Boris Johnson a quarter million quid. A sum that Boris Johnson has likened to chicken feed. In fact Boris Johnson has acted in a scathing way in his public statement in defence of that payment from the owners of the Daily Telegraph. He has gestured and uttered to the effect that the said payment was an almost unsolicited offering by the owners of the Daily Telegraph. In that packaged performance, Boris Johnson has exposed his own stance Vis a Vis morality. It is apparent from that performance that to him, morality is an optional surplus which he has damn well chucked in the bin, and rightly so!
Quite how Mr Johnson would have assumed any of that whilst still believing that he was within the requirements of morality is not clear. To any morally aware person, Mr Johnson has shown that he is not bothered about morality there.
Nor, it seems, are the owners of the Daily Telegraph who have for some unstated reason allowed him to be paid the chicken feed amount.
How strange that the Daily Telegraph has been celebrating an almost uncontested publishing coup over its reporting of the unredacted receipts of MPs expenses and assorted other claims and yet has been unable to bring itself to look in Mr Boris Johnson’s cupboard thoroughly enough!
That Mr Johnson is engaged with the Daily Telegraph albeit on a mere chicken feed of £250,000.00 for agreeing to put his signature to 50 odd pieces per year, has of course nothing at all to do with that oversight…

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO for almost six years now… Now, today, we are updating the commentary and dissection of the crassly conceived Crossrail.....
2240 Hrs UK
London Thursday 03 September 2009:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO for almost six years now… Now, today, we are updating the commentary and dissection of the crassly conceived Crossrail. We are doing so in the context of Corydon. In South London. In Corydon, small-scale business and others are increasing annoyed at Boris Johnson imposing a tax on them for CRASSrail…. That annoyance, and the CAUSE of it, could have been avoided and what is even better the tax burden could have been avoid had the mainstream media in Britain paid attention to what we have been saying... That the UK Parliament has been stooged. That UK MPs and UK peers failed to scrutinise the costs and the other implications of the ‘Crossrail Bill’…. We EXPOSED the stooge, the corrupt role played by these MPs and peers years BEFORE the so-called expenses scandal was featured via the Daily Telegraph only in 2009…
I have been arguing for almost six years now that the word ‘CrossRail’ is inappropriate. It should be ‘transport’. Once this inaccuracy is dealt with, there is then no need for ‘CrossRail’. Look at the transport needs of all of London and apply the available money and investment accordingly. This is in line with the reasoning contained in the rod Eddington transport study. That was published by the department for transport in 2006. Who is Rod Eddington? None other than the ‘expert’ front man appointed by the then UK finance minister Gordon brown. As the USA business publisher FORBES pointed out when rod Eddington published his report, Eddington had not endorsed CROSSRAIL. This central role of the specialist report was later reinforced by channel 4 news in October 2007 who asserted that Gordon Brown’s funding backing for Crossrail was against the advice of Rod Eddington. During the artificial passage of the Crossrail Bill through the two houses of UK parliament February 2005 to July 2008 when it was rubber-stamped into the ‘Crossrail Act’ ALL evidence of the damaging effects of Crossrail were barred from being submitted to the ‘Crossrail Bill Select Committees’ that were set up, for show, in the UK House of Commons and then in the UK House of Lords. Hundreds of officially listed objectors were prevented from submitting evidence of the wastes, the losses that Crossrail would cause. I represented the objections of thousands who signed a series of documents showing the wastefulness and ill effects of the Crossrail scam. Others who filed objections were concerned about a host of serious issues. Those ranged from economic, environmental, and social to fiscal and vitally included evidence showing the IRRELEVANCE of Crossrail to the transport needs of people in and around London. A de facto ban was also imposed on the mainstream media. With the exception of that one item on Channel 4 news in October 2007, there was no mainstream, sustained report about the negative effects of Crossrail in any of the ‘mainstream’ media. During 2007-2008, I took part in the on-line commentary on the London Times and to lesser extents on the other publications, about Crossrail. But at crucial points, the relevant media censored the comments thus making it impossible for their readers to get the full facts. One-sided propaganda for Crossrail touts and agents was dominating in the mainstream. Only this year 2009 have they begun to publish any serious criticism of Crossrail. These have included the London EVENING STANDARD piece on 28 April 2009 by Simon Jenkins who belatedly recognised some of the key flaws of Crossrail. The ECONOMIST magazine too has now published an almost identical piece highlighting the fact that Crossrail is in essence a diversion of resources needed for the upgrading of the dilapidated existing London rail and tube networks…

The case for crossrail has NOT been made. Anyone wanting to get from the West End to, say Docklands, has the river. This is a woefully underutilised transport thoroughfare, with enormous development potential.
The direct financial cost of Crossrail (the extra 2p in the £) and the indirect cost of the ensuing disruption to passengers and commerce alike is eye-watering for the benefits it is said to bring. The huge sums would have been better spent improving existing transport infrastructure south of the river, to provide an incentive for us all to leave our cars at home and use public transport.
It is the same with Thameslink 2000. Swathes of historic London being swept away, so that a few ATOC member companies and their directors can make even more money. So it is that we are losing much of Borough Market for a complete white elephant.

The South East of England has been paying for the rest of the country for decades. A small part of London will benefit from the Olympics yet all Londoners are paying extra money towards it (will there even be a single event south of the Thames?). Lets face it, taxes are never "fair". If we all only paid in for things we would benefit from the rich wouldn't need to pay more than the rest of us.

Well of course you wont actually be able to get on a train in Croydon, but the impact on Croydon will be significant. It will make travel across London so much easier and relieve congestion for everyone.
Therefore it WILL DIRECTLY help Croydon, but we wont have the building work to put up with it.
I don't live anywhere near a tram stop, but the tram benefits me and the town that I live in.
Once completed, I will be able to get a train to London and on to Heathrow in less than an hour - hassle free. Now that is a direct benefit!

Crossrail will benefit those travelling long distance and having to get across London to connect with transport services on the other side of London. I dont think it will have any positive effect on local business at all. As there is no connections at all near Croydon - it wont benefit us at all.

Why should Croydon's economy suffer because of a project that would not benefit us at all. First they cancel our tram extension, and now we're being forced to pay for something that won't benefit us whatsoever, without getting anything in return. City hall doesn't care about south London, and something needs to be done about it.
