KHOODEELAAR! Updating evidence of the dishonesty and prejudice of the 'East London Idiotiser'

KHOODEELAAR! review of the campaigning year 2008

Today is 4 January 2009.


Three years ago, this same week, the ‘local’ ‘newspaper’, the monopoly [on that trade aspect more in a later comment] ‘East London Idiotiser’ ran an item, the first such item [meaning that there had been a few more items before but not of this nature] that the ‘title’ had ever run on the campaign. The KHOODEELAAR! campaign was two years ongoing by then.. What it said in January 2006, was that CROSSRAIL would cost the Blairing clique in Tower Hamlets... More later on that political cost.…. Now, three years on and a huge impact later, the KHOODEELAAR! campaign is independently recognised as the most active one going on in the UK about ANY single ‘scheme’ in any recognizable location.. We are NOt including the campaign against THird Runway and so on as that involves more than one locality and more than one 'parliamentary', 'electoral' constituency.... Not just in Tower Hamlets. Not just in London.. But anywhere in the UK.…. And the ‘local’ ‘newspaper’ , the ‘East London Idiotiser’ is saying.…. ZERO about the campaign...Not that the ‘staff’ ‘journalists’ on the Idiotiser do not know of the Current and the active state of the campaign against Crossrail.. They do.. It is possible to think that they even had a ‘staff’ journalist or ‘source’ observe from as close as a few inches away from the spot where the KHOODEELAAR! campaigners sat on Wednesday 17 December 2008 when the latest formal objection to the Tower Hamlets Council’s role on Crossrail was presented to the last full council meeting.…

Canary Wharf £150m Crossrail deal to start work on new station

New Crossrail station at Canary Wharf gets green light

WORK on the new Crossrail station at Canary Wharf in East London is now set to begin by the spring, following a Christmas agreement with the Transport State Secretary.

Canary Wharf Group has agreed to lob £150 million into Whitehall’s kitty towards the cost of the new station—and has even signed a deal to design and build it.

The full price-tag is £500m, most of which is being paid for out of Crossrail’s £16 billion budget.

The station is expected to be completed and handed over to Crossrail by the summer of 2012.

But the first trains on the new ‘supper tube’ link to the City, West End and Heathrow are not due until 2017, when Crossrail opens for passenger service.

Predicted journey times to and from Canary Wharf include Liverpool Street in five minutes, Farringdon in 10, Paddington in 17 and Heathrow in 44. Other key stops include Whitechapel, Stratford, Tottenham Court Road and Bond Street.

Trains will run every three minutes at peak times between Central London and Whitechapel, where the line spits into two—one branch to Stratford and Shenfield in Essex, the other to Canary Wharf, Custom House by City Airport and under the Thames to Plumstead and Abbey Wood.

This will provide crowd relief on the packed Central Line through East London and the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow.
