Khoodeelaar! Asking all touts and peddlers of crossrail the big business scam "how is it that NHS jobs can be cut, schools funding can be starved, other transport work neglected like the london tube networks and yet Crossrail is kept on? What is the secret? What is the evidence that crossrail is more important than health, education, housing, employment and the environment?

They were travelling around the country, 1st class rail travel and hotels, promoting non-existent staff training courses to NHS trust hospitals. (When I asked what the courses were about they said that they had not even been specified yet, let alone written, so had no idea). After the expenditure of a considerable amount of money the project was dropped. This is just one example of useless waste of money - how many more have there been and how many exist at the moment?

We need more front-line services and far fewer paper pushers and target drivers in the NHS. Since increasing numbers of the front-line staff are foreign nationals, perhaps NU-Labour thinking is that their careers are unimportant in compared with those of core middle management.
