A week short of a full year ago, KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against “Crossrail hole, Big Business agenda” organiser Muhammad Haque wrote to the [Rupert Murdoch -ed] Times online in London in response to their columnist [and a former Editor] Simon Jenkins promoting the London mayoral election [then only a fortnight away] as an achievement for democracy. Yesterday, 28 April 2009, Jenkins published [in the EVENING STANDARD, the crassest peddler for CRASSrail] his call to Boris Johnson to scrap Crossrail. No, Jenkins in fact said, ‘Crossrail will eat money. Kill it, Boris.”
That is some language to use to describe Crossrail!
Here is what Muhammad Haque had told Simon Jenkins on 19 April 2008. The Times online NEVER published that comment by Muhammad Haque. Most of the commentary Muhammad haque has posted in response to the relevant pieces of lies by the Times online, have been suppressed. Ironic then that the truth tends to come out. Not may be through Rupert Murdoch-ed outlets. But somewhere else. And a bit later than would be just. In his call yesterday [Tuesday 28 April 2009: The EVENING nostandards STANDARD Op Ed page Comment] to Boris Johnson asking Johnson to ‘Kill Crossrail’, Simon Jenkins echoes the KHOODEELAAR! diagnosis. The diagnosis that we had begun in 2004 describing Crossrail as CRASSrail. Crass as we have been saying because it was crassly conceived. And crassly peddled..... We shall be examining the full extent of that in a series following this updater commentary.
[To be continued]

Following is what Muhammad Haque written in April 2008 in response to Simon Jenkins:
2320 Hrs GMT London Saturday 19 April 2008:
Khoodeelaar! No to imprudent utterances and actions by Gordon Brown - No to the Crassrail hole plot or[propaganda by one fo the Uk’s most compromised, unorigional ‘columnists’ - the Establishment in-house promoter Simon Jenkins in his ill-informed plug for Crossrail in this weekend’s Sunday Times….
By khoodeelaar
In the first response sent to the Timesonline, Muhammad Haque has said [at 2215 Hrs GMT London Saturday 19 April 2008] the following to Simon Jenkins’ propaganda [which, as usual, reads like an extension of the scripted agenda of Big Business interests] piece for the wasteful post of mayor in the name of London:-
“
Every city needs a Ken v Boris show – it brings local politics back to life
“
Really?
What life?
Charade! Charade! and wasteful, costly and irrelevant charade!
On all counts flaunted by Simon Jenkins, the bureaucracy of a ‘mayor of London’ has been a denial of democracy.
To say the least!
Unless of course Mr Jenkins means “for career courtesans and assorted plastic promoters and propagandists” in “the media”.
The coverage Mr Jenkins boastfully promotes has been to cover up the truth. To conceal the disgraceful abuse of access to public cash and the propensity to waste it in cultivating a corrupt career and entourage.
Neither the 2012 Olympics nor Crossrail is an achievement Neither has been a response to ordinary peoples’ demand or needs.
Neither the 2012 Olympics nor Crossrail is a reality. BOTH are doomed to discredit their peddlers.
Neither ‘project’ [in fact SCAM] has been causally or democratically linked with there being a mayor in the name of London.
Both are products of lobbys ['lobbies']. Big Business, antidemocratic . lobbys [='lobbies'] and vested interests.
Neither can be afforded by any British city in the ordinary sense of economic capacity. Neither deserves to be peddled to any urban centre
