KHOODEELAAR! evidential update on the unreliability of a 'career-politician': the incredibly glib words of Brian Coleman on the 'Tony McNulty' 'news'
When I went on the record and stated any agreement with anything that Brian Coleman had ever said, I did so with precision. Precision and condition and qualification. I had been aware of Brian Coleman’s mutterings. And I had noticed over so many of Coleman's stray utterances that he was not reliable at all.
On his record, Coleman has not sustained anything. Except his career. For what it is worth. And it can not be worth anything to the people of London. Except to Brian Coleman.
In October 2007, not long after Gordon Brown played his role as a peddler of Big Business Crossrail, Brian Coleman popped up in the New Statesman saying that the City of London should be scrapped.
The City of London exists as a highly brazen Tory tool. Tory in the Norman Tebbit sense. Tory in the Margaret Thatcher sense. Tory in the Tony Blair sense. Tory in the sense that it has behaved in over the most part of its existence as a ‘world crass grabbing centre’ that has been central to bringing to its knees whatever financial system [!!!] existed in the ‘free trading world’...
My immediate trigger for addressing the role of the City of London in October 2007 - a full year before the financial calamity began to show - was of course the peddling role the City of London had been playing for facilitating the looting of the UK public by Big Business in contracts to the tune [initially] of £16 Billion via Crossrail. That is before taking into account the additional £Billions in expected overruns.
So I put in a brief sentence as follows:
“

I fully agree with and endorse the statement in Brian Coleman's column as follows:
"Never mind that it has no benefit at all for most actual Londoners as opposed to commuters from the Home Counties."

I had expected that Coleman would follow up his utterances ‘against’ the City of London. If not about the City of Lo London itself, I had expected him to elaborate on the grabbing irrelevance of the place. But I have not noticed anything.
In fact Since October 2007, I had not come across Brian Coleman in print again.
Until last night .
Coleman appeared on the BBC News Channel along with a person from the ‘Guardian Weekly’. To ‘review’ the front pages of the Sunday papers. On the item about MPs’ expenses, allowances etc, Coleman took the very same line that Eric Pickles had done on last Thursday's’ Question Time.
In fact Coleman went one further and sought to undermine the Mail on Sunday for trying to find credible information on MPs behaving greedily...
Coleman decided to attack the Mail on Sunday ‘s particular reporting and investigation instead of saying anything about the subject that the newspaper had been focussing on...
taken together, the performances of Eric Pickles on the Question Time and Brian Coleman on the B BC News Channel over the same issue raise the question: what chance is there that a Tory ‘win’ at any general election will make things any better?
CRASS prospects indeed!
They will carry on the Crossrail crass scam too.
I am saying this in the full knowledge of the hype and the spin around Daniel Hannan and the plugs for Daniel Hannan and the Tories in the Times by Crossrail scam-backing Matthew Parris
