The following item, from an obscure and Partisan and external web site, is being published here by AADHIKAROnline solely as a reference. The contents and the agenda contained and represented in that item are not endorsed by KHOODEELAAR! But the factual references are contextually relevant to the Khoodeelaar! Campaign and they are being published below in this context and for this reason only.
KHOODEELAAR! has shown, on the facts, over the past five years of campaign against CrossRail hole scam agenda that the 'GLA', which is supposed to be the 'Greater London Assembly' [that is put in place and kept in place at costs of £Millions in the name of the ordinary people of London to show that it represents the people of London!!!!
Nothing could be further from the truth] , has been a mostly undemanding, unrigorous, stooged body.
Its [= GLA] members operate as extensions of the given party or grouping and more importantly as individual time-servers and careerists..
One of the more frequently promoted 'opposition' 'Assembly Members', Val Shawcross [who is also mentioned in the piece we have reproduced below] is overrated and is just as dissembling as Boris Johnson is....
The fact that Shawcross manages to pop up in the media promotion of the Boris Johnson circus must not be read as meaning that Shawcross is in any significant way capable of demonstrating that he5r4 own rdcoir5d has been any more democratic or accountable or representative of the people of London than the conduct of Boris Johnson..
The only difference between Shawcross and her alleged target of her alleged ‘questions’ Boris Johnson is that she typifies a different gender than Johnson does and that she claims to be in a different party than Boris Johnson…
