KHOODEELAAR! TOLD the BBC so! That it was one of the most persistent sources, couriers of fabrications, lies and untruths for the Govt of the day. That it fabricated lies for Crossrail. That it continues to fail and refuses to publish the truth about the bogus transport infrastructure project that has been peddled for years at the expense of existing transport needs in and around London. So it is really galling of BBC online to appear to give credit to the Daily Telegraph on 'exposing' David Laws’ expenses fiddle while taking a swipe at 'the other papers’, which had prematurely praised David Laws! CRASS role by BBC here! The BBC should admit that Khoodeelaar! carried out a far more comprehensive and telling exposé’ on Alistair Darling paying £100 million to the bogus CLRL in December 2005 under the bogus Section 6 of the Bogus and the corruptly enacted ‘Railways Act 2005’! Why hasn’t the BBC been admitting that and investigating and updating on that?  [To be continued] Newspaper review: Premature praise for minister Laws

Had it not been for the Daily Telegraph exclusive on the expenses claims of Chief Treasury Secretary David Laws, he would have been able to take comfort from the praise offered by other papers for his role in the government. Writing in the Times, Matthew Parris says the Liberal Democrat minister is "calm, deft and strong on detail". Patrick O'Flynn, chief political commentator for the Daily Express, says when David Laws spoke in the Commons he "instilled belief in the coalition among the Conservative awkward squad". Taxing question David Laws gives an interview to the Times, which took place before the Daily Telegraph scoop on his expenses. He acknowledges that concerns raised by Tory MPs about plans to raise Capital Gains Tax are "very real". The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail warn the rise will harm people on middle and lower incomes who do not want to rely on the state when they retire. The FT reports the proposal has led to a raid on gold - UK-minted bullion coins are exempt from the tax. Public anger The Independent profiles Tony Hayward, the embattled chief executive of BP who continues to grapple with task of plugging the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The FT says he has become "the target for rising public anger in the US". The Independent says he is managing to "retain his composure" even as the pressure mounts from President Obama. A BP insider tells the paper his boss "has shown nerves of reinforced steel". Nevertheless, the Independent warns him that "time is running out". Peer pressure "Arise Lord Two Jags" announces the Daily Express, as the former deputy prime minister accepts a peerage. It and the Daily Mail cannot help but remind John Prescott it comes two years after he said he did not want to be a member of the House of Lords. The Mail reports that Mr Prescott is giving up on "class war" because he wants to make a Lady of his wife. A Labour source tells the paper: "It's not really John's scene - Pauline is a different matter."
