KHOODEELAAR! points out latest CRASS role by Crossrail-peddling London EVENING ‘STANDARD’ and Boris Johnson!
2225 Hrs GMT London Saturday 31 January 2009
Neither shows any appreciation of the utter crassness of their positions. Boris Johnson is being incredible, infantile and irresponsible in making this alleged plea in the name of ‘poor Londoners’ and the EVENING Nostandards STANDARD is being negligent and worse for reporting Johnson’s pathetic stunt and presenting it as being a genuine stance by Johnson on poverty ..
BOTH Johnson and the ‘STANDARD’ are peddlers of the CRASSLY conceived CrossRail scam.
BOTH continue to peddle for Crossrail which will cots anywhere between sterling 20 Billion to Sterling 30 Billion as observed today.
That scam may exceed even the Sterling 30 Billion mark.
And neither has produced a shred of objectively verifiable evidence that CrossRail is justified or necessary or even relevant to the transport needs of people in and of London.

KHOODEELAAR! TELLING G BROWN: SCrap Crossrail, use the funds for real jobs and services
British Workers Protest Hiring of Foreign Laborers
Energy workers across Britain walked off their jobs to protest the use of foreign labor. The protest was triggered by a company's decision to use foreign workers at a refinery. Experts fear recession could bring xenophobia. (By Anna Gowthorpe -- Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 30 -- Hundreds of British energy workers walked off the job Friday to protest the use of foreign labor on British job sites, the latest sign of an increasing backlash against foreign workers amid the global recession.
Workers carrying placards that said "British jobs for British workers" staged demonstrations at more than a dozen refineries and power stations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The workers are protesting a decision by Total, the French oil company, to award a $280 million contract to an Italian firm, IREM, for work at a plant in Lincolnshire, England. The project will involve about 400 foreign workers.
Nearly 2 million Britons are jobless, the highest unemployment level since 1997. As job losses mount, officials are reporting increasing antagonism toward foreign workers.
Hundreds of thousands of Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians and other newer members of the European Union flocked to Britain in recent years as the country's economy boomed. But as recession hit, and the buying power of Britain's pound has fallen sharply, increasing numbers of immigrants are returning home. Those who remain are competing with local workers for a far smaller pool of jobs.
Earlier this month, the Federation of Poles in Great Britain blamed the recession for what it said was a 20 percent increase in "racist incidents" directed at Poles. "We are aware that many of these incidents occur because of growing tension in the traditional indigenous population following increasing anxiety about job losses," the group said in a statement.
Officials at the International Organization for Migration, an intergovernmental group based in Geneva, have expressed concern about a potential rise in xenophobia as the recession creates friction between local workers and foreigners in many countries.
Total issued a statement saying the Italian company needs to use its own specialized workers for the project, which would not affect the normal operation of the refinery.
from the washington.com web site
"It is important to note that we have been a major local employer for 40 years with 550 permanent staff employed at the refinery," the statement said. "There are also between 200 and 1,000 contractors working at the refinery, the vast majority of which work for U.K. companies employing local people."
European Union rules require a free flow of labor among member nations. And officials have cautioned that such an important pillar of European unity should not be undermined by an economic downturn.
Bernard McAuley, an official with United, Britain's largest labor union, told demonstrators at a rally Friday in Lincolnshire: "There is sufficient unemployed, skilled labor wanting the right to work on that site, and they are demanding the right to work on that site."
Striking workers also mocked Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has pledged to fight for "British jobs for British workers."
"All we want is for Gordon Brown to fulfill his promise," one protester told reporters outside the Lincolnshire plant.
Brown, speaking to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said he "understood" the protester's concerns. He said government officials were doing "everything we can" to improve economic conditions and create new jobs.

The community in the brick lane London e1 area is being violated by the
Crossrail hole bill.
This bill has been awaiting passage in the UK parliament after the formalities of the select committee have been disposed of. With a strong majority in the commons subject to control; by an openly authoritarian Blairite whipping squad, the barite bill is guaranteed to be passed when the formal vote charade is staged on the bill.
This is then time for string challenge in the society outside of parliament to be voiced against this seriously flawed and anti-social
bill.
The Crossrail hole bill is ill conceived, unnecessary and will make the brick lane area even poorer.
We have been campaigning against the Crossrail hole bill for then past nearly 2 years.
In the next few weeks we are publishing the facts about how the crossrail hole bill will destroy the east end
We are calling on all people of good sense and principle to stand up to the
Promoters of the Crossrail hole Bill.
It is another Millennium Dome only ten times more wasteful of public money and a hundred times more destructive of communities across the east end of London ..”

BRICK LANE AREA NO TO CROSSRAIL HOLE Bill: Community prepares to say NO TO CROSSRAIL HOLE BILL during 'scrutiny'
The item we published on this site in the KHOODEELAAR breaking news edition at 0110 Hrs GMT on 13 December 2005 was taken from a pro-Crossrail hole Bill organisation. We carried it to show the facts of how the pro-Crossrail hole Bill lobby were active in the promotion of the hole Bill.
They are alert and are vigilantly pressing the Blair regime to make more public cash available for the Crossrail hole venture that will enable the city of London interests to reap the harvest of public dosh in the constriction and building bonanza they expect the hole Bill to unleash when that Bill is made into an Act of Parliament.
As the City of London interests crave the loot, the community in the Brick Lane London E1 Area faces destruction.
We aim to make sure that the hole attacks the Crossrail Bill will make on the community are exposed for all to see.
We aim to defend the community and to undermine the promotion of the Crossrail hole Bill.
We are aware that the majority of the so-called objections to the Crossrail, hole Bill are petty and are not at all AGAINST the Crossrail plan.
The majority of the so-called objectors are supporters of the Crossrail plan.
Those objectors do not belong in the community.
They do not belong with the community
They do not care about the community.
We aim to draw maximum attention to the violation of one of the most diverse, positive human resources that is the Brick Lane London e1 area. It has emerged as a triumph of human resistance against exploitation and greed. It has done so in stages and gradually over the past three hundred years in the Brick Lane London e1 Area.

KHOODEELAAR! pointing out the monumental idiocy of the Daily Mail itself: Robert Hardman should read the Mail sometimes!
What point is KHOODEELAAR! making by ding this pointing out?
Answer: the point is that the DAILY Mail’s as irresponsible, as immoral or amoral and as supporting of wasteful and squandering behaviour by the state as it pretends through Hardman to be campaigning against.
We have herewith linked to an earlier AADHIKAROnline page that actually chides the DAILY Mail’s endorsement of the Big Business scam London CROSSRAIL.
The DAILY MAIL peddled CRASSrail just as irresponsibly and idiotically as Robert Hardman is accusing the backers of THE PUBLIC to be in their backing for the ‘idiotic monument’.
What is more the list of accusations that Hardman has now made against the Millennium Dome and The Public [the ‘digital arts centre’ in West Bromwich], includes many of the most frequently used phrases and words in the KHOODEELAAR! campaign that yesterday [Friday 30 January 2009] completed 5 full years of non-stop and daily analysis and action against the CRASSrail scam
Today’s DAILY MAIL carries a piece by its licensed feature write Robert Hardman . It is typical DAILY MAIL language, imagery and promotion.
The piece, printed at pages 16-17 of the second edition of the DAILY MAIL, is headlined ‘A MONUMENT TO IDIOCY’ and it is about a building in West Bromwich called THE PUBLIC.
In the displayed extracts of the comments The DAILY MAIL reports that the building [The Public] is the “daftest waste of public cash since the Dome: a £65m ‘digital arts centre’ nobody wanted. “As it receives yet more millions, ROBERT HARDMAN says it’s an apt symbol for the genius with which Britain’s ruling elite squanders your money…..”
Inept
Ruling elite
Squanders
Public cash
In October 2008, the DAILY MAIL peddled The London CrossRail so corruptly and so dishonestly and so untruthfully that KHOODEELAAR! noted and denounced the act.
We have republished a link to the same DAILY MAIL web page with this examination of the corrupting DAILY MAIL.
As always, the DAILY MAIL wears many faces and masks. It pretends to have a morality but is found to be empty of true objective and universally and internationally verifiable morality on examination and analysis.
The October 2008 DAILY MAIL propaganda Big Business London Crossrail scam was just as irrational, just as irresponsible just as IDIOTIC.
It appears that ROBERT HARDMAN is a fake hard man on anonymous and mostly composite bureaucrats and elite prototypes. It also seems that ROBERT HARDMAN is quite soft on the perpearos of lies that cist much more than the waste of the West Bromwich arts centre. It is obvious that the people whose waste of £Billions Robert Hardman is prepared to overlook are the peddlers of CROSSRAIL.
Peddlers and squanderers like the proprietorial agenda setters at the DAILY MAIL...

I was the only one who advised Boris Johnson ALMOST a year ago to show that he had a moral standard. That he had a moral standard, an ethical standard higher than any that Ken Livingstone could show...
With the Ken Livingstone Revivalist Ego Dance being held this evening, I take a look at what Boris Johnson has done that may constitute his nightmare season...
My view of Boris Johnson was based on what I had known of him over almost 20 years of watching him.
I never thought that Livingstone was right to belittle Boris Johnson as he tried to. Nor do I believe that Boris has lost it, yet.
But he MAY lose it. Unless he moves. Fast.
In the opposite direction to what he has taken so far. Like he should review appointing so many compromised individuals, and characters that are destined to cause him the biggest nightmare that the ‘local Govt’ Tories have faced since Shirley Porter....
Now, can Boris understand what I am about to advise him to do?
And does he have the morality - and maturity of thought - to do what I think he must do to stay on course as the elected holder of the office and also get to complete the term without being derailed?

On Monday 7 January 2008, a transport minister in the 'house of lords' in London spoke by recognizing the role inn the UK of European convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. He refrained from using the full title of the conventions. But his words in fact referred to the constitutional framework that exists in practice under the UK's treaty obligations [dating back to 1950]. So does the minister himself practise his apparent affiliation to the conventions? Not really, if the evidence of his behaviour in promoting the crossrail hole plots is anything to go by.

The minister, ‘lord Bassam of Brighton’ will get an opportunity this year to show that he is not another liar in public office doing the propaganda for the big business CRASSRail hole plot.
Khoodeelaar! is this week asking the minister [‘lord Bassam of Brighton’] to show evidence justifying his involvement in making several hundred £ million public money available to unaccountable, secretive elements under covers of promoting the crossrail hole plot. Khoodeelaar! Is also asking the minister [‘lord Bassam of Brighton’] to show why he has supported the denial of convention rights to objectors against the crossrail scam.
Khoodeelaar! is asking the House of Lords to refuse to approve the crossrail bill as it is backed by anti-constitutional elements like ‘lord Bassam of Brighton’
Khoodeelaar! Objections to Crossrail Bill - as so far addressed to the House of Lords, Weds 09.01.2008
1. The Secretary of State for Transport misled parliament when he stated at ‘first reading’ held in the HOUSE OF COMMONS [22 February 2005] that he was satisfied that the contents of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ were compatible with the [ECHR=EUROPEAN] Conventions.
2. Either the Secretary of State for Transport made that statement deliberately and knowing it to be false and untrue because he did not care about the UK’s Treaty obligations or that he made that statement in ignorance.
3. When the real reason for his statement on compatibility was either – or even if both reasons applied on the facts - the Secretary of State for Transport could not continue to pretend ignorance especially after we [the Khoodeelaar! Campaign] pointed out to him that his statement was unconstitutional and that he must show how, in view of his assertions, the contents of the CrossRail Bill were compatible with the Conventions.
4. The Secretary of State for Transport then made his position even more unconstitutional by moving at Second Reading [19 July 2005] that the ‘Select Committee’ that was being set up in the House of Commons, be barred from looking at the purpose and the details of the Crossrai Bill.
5. The Secretary of State for Transport therefore VIOLATED other Conventions in addition to the ones that he had already violated at the time of his ‘certifying ‘ [at First Reading 22: February 2005] that the ‘CrossRail Bill’ had been compatible with the ‘Conventions’. He did that – and formally the House of Commons did that at Second Reading– by contradicting themselves at all crucial stages and on all crucial aspects of the ‘CrossRail Bill’, and on its implications and consequences.
