KHOODEELAAR! Told the BBC so! Now they are ever so dodgily admitting it!
The 2012 Games Hosting in London UK farce is no joke. It is continuing cruelty and brazenness by Big Biz and their stooges like Seb Coe to ordinary people in London and the UK. We told them so. As we told the 'local' Tower Hopeless Council too! That they were LYING as they were peddling the lies confected by Big Biz over the 2012 Games Hosting propaganda…. We shall soon publish another exclusive report on how BRAINWASHING has been actually taking place of at least ‘some of the leading’ careerists in the name of the former Labour Party and at the expense of the ordinary people of and in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets….
The following has been taken from the BBC web site and is being published here for evidential reference only:
2012 legacy could be left 'meaningless'
There's an unwritten rule that host countries of the Olympics don't criticise each other.
So it's significant that Canadian Olympic chiefs (who staged this year's Vancouver Winter Games) have taken a swipe at Britain over the Government's planned cuts to school sports funding.
Britain has to accept this, of course, because London made all sorts of ambitious promises to the International Olympic Committee about inspiring children to take up sport during the 2012 bid.
There is a growing belief that the cuts to the School Sports Partnerships (SSPs) will not help that goal at all. Twitter and Facebook are full of a campaign against the changes and I know secondary schools near to where I live have already started petitions against the cuts.
But to have a foreign national Olympic committee stepping into the row is an unusual development.
The letter from Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive Jean Dupre to Education Secretary Michael Gove came about because Canada plans to use the specialist Langdon Park sports school in Tower Hamlets in east London for training during the 2012 Games.
I've been to see the school's headmaster Chris Dunne and he was part of the report we did for the Politics Show which you can see on my blog last week.
He told me about the Canadian opposition to Gove's plans which resulted in the letter. He said the Canadians had been impressed with the system.
That's why I see a u-turn ahead. The problem the Government has is that every time it and London 2012 start talking about the sporting legacy of the Games, criticis will simply point to the SSP cuts and dismiss any initiative as meaningless.
Without an effective sport's system in schools, 2012's talk means nothing, they will say.
And it's interesting that schools and former sports stars have been so quick to get the petitions going - and also that the subject has landed at Prime Minister's Questions so fast.
This story isn't going away in a hurry.

"When they last visited in the October half term I told them of the decision to abandon the SSPs," he said. "They (including their Chef de Mission Mark Tewksbury, an Olympic Gold Medallist) were visibly stunned, and asked me whether there was anything they could do to help. "It's a pretty hefty indictment of the Government's actions by a very well-respected international body. "As I said last week, I can't see this problem going away. That's because the Government is making changes, not only to save money but also because it believes there isn't enough competitive sport in schools. The people who run the SSPs vehemently disagree with this. Somebody must be wrong.

KHOODEELAAR! Told you so! The Big Biz looting agenda-courier Crossrail is FULLY FUNDED while they are axing everything else in "Society". Time to scrap the CONDEM COLLUSION!

Tower Hamlets
Ben Hill is one of 12 school sports co-ordinators in Tower Hamlets, one of the country's poorest boroughs. He claims the cuts would reduce the number of sports on offer to children in the borough from 23 to only six. He said: "Primary schools don't have the apparatus or staffing to do a lot of the sports the partnership does. "These children don't have the support others do. We provide facilities and training but also ensure children get to training and give them kit."

How Condem funding axe is killing school sports
By Tom Pettifor; Tom Mctague 23/11/2010
Teachers and children's sport coaches have reacted furiously to the ConDems' decision to slash school sport funding.
They say it will harm children's health and break pledges made to the Olympic Committee for a lasting legacy from next year's Games.
Education secretary Michael Gove was accused of overseeing the destruction of competitive sport in primary schools and adding to the childhood obesity epidemic.
Without consultation he has disbanded the schools sports partnership (SSP), which benefits hundreds of thousands of children every year.
Here, those involved in grassroots children's sports voice their concerns at the ConDem cuts...
Preston
Corpus Christi Catholic Sports College
Martin Callagher, 51, head of Corpus Christi Catholic Sports College in Preston, said: "I think Gove has just got this wrong. He says he wants to encourage competition in schools but that's what the partnerships have done.
"Two weeks ago we put on a mini O l y m p i c s f o primary children.
"Events like that are under threat.
There are 10 or 11 partnership people putting these events on. I couldn't fund that out of my own budget."
Hackney
Grasmere Primary
Ian McGovern, deputy head of Grasmere primary in Hackney - one of London's five Olympic boroughs - said all 200 of his pupils compete through SSP every year.
He said: "I have just come from a cross-country race on Hackney Downs which will be the last one if the cuts go ahead. The outlook for children is pessimistic because there just won't be opportunities.
"We will lose five full-time positions in Hackney whose job it is to organise sport for children.
"Instead of the year-long sporting calendar we have now, the government are proposing a one-off Olympic-style event every year."
Brighton
School Sports Partnership
Andy Merchant, 60, who organises children's sports across Brighton's 70 schools, described the plan to axe all 450 School Sports Partnerships as "catastrophic".
Andy, who will lose his job in July because of the cuts, said: "All the competitions we organise are at risk. It's a disgrace, especially so close to the Olympics. We do the sort of things PE teachers just don’t have time for."

Leeds
Swinnow Primary
Head Allison Chin reckons many of the youngsters at her inner-city primary don't have the opportunity to participate in sports that other children might.
She said: "The funding allows for 120 of our pupils to participate in a range of sports every year and quite frankly it's awful that this opportunity is being taken from them." Ms Chin explained that the SSP gives her pupils access to training facilities they could previously only dream of, including Headingley cricket ground and Elland Road, home of Leeds United FC.
She added: "We'll also lose the qualified coaches. I just can't understand why they are taking away this funding when it contributes so much to our children's health and well-being."
School sports co-ordinators
Tower Hamlets
Ben Hill is one of 12 school sports co-ordinators in Tower Hamlets, one of the country's poorest boroughs. He claims the cuts would reduce the number of sports on offer to children in the borough from 23 to only six. He said: "Primary schools don't have the apparatus or staffing to do a lot of the sports the partnership does. "These children don't have the support others do. We provide facilities and training but also ensure children get to training and give them kit."
South Dartmoor S Dartmoor Community College HEADTEACHER Hugh Bellamy, 48, is outraged by the cuts.
Mr Bellamy's school is the hub for the region's School Sports Partnership used by 20,000 children in the area.
"We offer a rich diet of sports festivals - from events for gifted children to promote excellence to events for disabled children," he said.
"They can be anything from badminton, kayaking and biking to rock climbing and street skating. We just won't be able to do these things if the partnerships are scrapped.
"No programme has ever come close to the success of sports partnerships - and at the stroke of a pen they're being scrapped.
"And for what? £160million is a drop in the ocean.
"Michael Gove says it's about letting headteachers decide what to spend money on, but I don't know one who is unhappy with the partnerships.
"I bet Seb Coe is sick to the stomach with the Olympics coming up."
East London Langdon Park
Close to the Olympic Park, the school's pupils went to Singapore with Lord Coe to demonstrate the lasting legacy of London's Games bid.
Head Chris Dunne says he is bemused by the cuts: "Children are competing in sports they had no chance of doing before."
The partnership has helped 55 children to join a cricket team. "The number playing before was zero."

Editor © Muhammad Haque
The BBC's Adrian Warner has now confessed to having peddled the liars' lines for the past two years or so. At least on-screen, especially as his peddling has been carried almost on a daily basis on the BBC London slot, Adrian Warner has come across as being as servile to Big Biz as any other 'mainstream British media' place man could be expected to do. And yet here is a blog which for evidential purposes we reproduce below, which con train de facto admission by Warner that he has been retailing lies for the 2012 Hosting bureaucrats.
In contrast to Adrian Warner and to the rest of the BBC's output on the 2012 Hosting scam, we - the Khoodeelaar! Campaign in defence of the East End of London against Big Biz agenda scam and assorted attacks on our environment and on our land - have accurately and consistently maintained that the scam would not benefit ordinary people in and of the East End of London.
It has taken Warner YEARS to see that. And even then he cannot admit so on-screen. He has to hide it in a staged 'BBC blog'!
How long will it take the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council to see the truth of what we have been pointing out for years about the 2012 Hosting stunt And about Big Biz agenda scam Crossrail?
OUR Movement has already told the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council that it would be another folly for it to run to the ‘High Court’ under the pretext of a judicial review over Sebastian Coe’s refusal to ‘bring the marathon route top the East End’.
Why have we said it would be folly?
For a start, we can see no long term benefit for the whole community in our area from paying loads of cash to a bunch of lawyers.
We have told the clique to abandon the stunt of going to the High Court or to lawyers and instead to get involved in democratic campaign with the people.
The TELCO diversion staged at Walthamstow is another crafty one. A diversion. More on that later.

There's a lot of nonsense talked about school children and sport. Some say all kids want to do is sit in front of computers and not get outside and play sport.
Others say today's young generation is not as competitive

The Manchester Evening News is a very slow learner. Or at least its ‘editorial’ decision makers are. The outlet has taken YEARS before 'discovering' that London’s Crossrail was being sued to divert Transport Department money away from other regions of England and the UK.
How has the MEN taken years?
For Khoodeelaar! has told the outlet so for years everything about the wastefulness of Big Biz agenda scam Crossrail that the MEN would ever need to know.

http://www.regen.net/news/ByDiscipline/Policy/1040783/Regeneration-newspapers-Crossrail-eat-9-transport-budget
Reports that London's new east-west rail line Crossrail will consume nearly a tenth of the entire Department for Transport budget in each of the three years from 2012/13 to 2014/15 and news on London's new Routemaster bus features in today's newspaper round-up.
In 2011/12, Crossrail will receive £517 million – four per cent of the Department for Transport’s budget, according to Graham Stringer, the Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton and the new rail line's "sceptic in chief", according to the Manchester Evening News. But the figure will rise to £1.2 billion in 2012/13, £1.1 billion in 2013/14, and £1.1 billion in 2014/15, according to the paper. "In each of the last three years, the sum represents nine per cent of the entire DfT budget, blogs David Ottewell of the paper. "Any way you look at it, that is a huge proportion to be spending on a single project in a city that already has first-rate transport links."Tottenham Hotspur FC should never leave its home in north London, writes David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, in the Evening Standard. The club confirmed recently that it has registered an interest, in partnership with entertainment management company AEG (Europe), in becoming a tenant at the Olympic Stadium following the 2012 Games. Writes Lammy: "The club has planning permission to redevelop White Hart Lane. … This scheme is the only way of lifting the decay which hangs over the area."
A network of "Rapid Transport Vehicles" connecting Birmingham with the rest of the region will form the centrepiece of a new transport strategy set to be unveiled by passenger transport authority Centro, the Birmingham Post reports.
"There is something not quite right" about London’s new Routemaster-like bus, writes Jonathan Glancey in the Guardian. "[It] looks as if it's wearing an eyepatch, a knowing reference perhaps to the days, a century ago, when fiercely deregulated London buses raced one other dangerously to pick up passengers, and were known as "pirates". The first five buses are due to hit the capital's streets early in 2012, the Financial Times reports.
Comedian Frank Skinner writes in the opinion pages of the Times about he chose to spend years on the dole – and why he is willing to subsidise others who choose to do so now. The paper’s editorial argues that welfare reform is essential to the coalition’s plans, but that the secret of its success lie in its simplicity. "A single universal credit which is easy to understand and to administer would be revolutionary, and hard to defraud," the paper writes.

KHOODEELAAR! Linking to an external view piece on Big Biz harm to society, morality, environment and the economy...
Can we trust big business?
On the eve of taking on the top job at BP, Bob Dudley, the new chief executive, emphasised his priority as being the introduction of extensive measures to ramp up safety in exploration projects and refineries. Mr Dudley stressed: ‘These are the first and most urgent steps in a programme I am putting in place to rebuild trust in BP’.
Trust in BP was seriously damaged by the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oilrig off the coast of Louisiana, which led to the departure of Dudley’s predecessor Tony Hayward. With the death of eleven oil workers and another seventeen seriously wounded, the ensuing oil spill is said to be one of the biggest US environmental catastrophes ever and tarnished BP’s reputation in the eyes of many.
But did the accident alone justify the enormous damage to BP’s standing and the ousting of Hayward? David Jones, chief executive of ad agency Havas, who hosted the Who Cares Wins CSR conference in June, explained that BP’s previous attempts to prove itself as socially responsible were at least partly to blame: ‘what has exacerbated the feeling against BP is they so overtly positioned themselves as a nice company. When you change your logo to a flower giving the impression you are one of the greenest companies on the planet and this happens, people will come up and bite you. It’s a comeuppance’.
In claiming that the new safety measures are about “building trust”, Dudley could be setting up BP for another fall. After all, the issue of safety in the oil industry is hardly new. The Texas City refinery fire in 2005 and the 2006 Prudhoe Bay pipeline leaks were partly responsible for the departure of John Browne, BP’s previous chief executive bar one. After each of these incidents BP similarly pledged to focus on better safety measures, but accidents continued to happen.
Can a high-risk business such as oil seriously promise never to do any harm to either its employees or the environment? Exploring and producing oil is always going to be a risky business. Surely making claims to the contrary could serve to mislead the public and may only reinforce cynicism next time something goes wrong. Wouldn’t big business “telling it as it is” be a far better way of maintaining trust than fostering the illusion that accidents can always be prevented?
Trust has also been undermined by the way businesses operate on a daily basis. Business leaders have for years emphasized the extreme uncertainty of the market environment and the constraints this imposes on strategic planning. Whether the market really is changing more rapidly than in previous eras is a moot point: the very perception that this is the case manifests itself in companies having less confidence in longer term goals and strategies.
In awe of this more uncertain world we are believed to inhabit, short term solutions appear the best answer. Furthermore, modern chief executives appear to lack the confidence to make their own decisions, meaning that over the past 15 to 20 years businesses have been more likely to call in management consultants to help them shape how their businesses are run rather than having trust in the professional judgment of individuals working within the organisations.
This points to the crux of the problem in the breakdown of trust: we don’t seem to trustourselves to make decisions, to take control of problems and solve them. No amount of regulation, transparency and codes of conduct, courses and articles on “how to build trust” is going to create a society of individuals that trust each other, and therefore can trust business. We need to address the wider social trends which keep us living in such an individuated, distrustful society. Relationships of trust need to be rebuilt from the bottom up.
Throughout October and November, The Independent Online is partnering with the Battle of Ideas festival to present a series of guest blogs from festival speakers on the key questions of our time.
Para Mullan is operations director at cScape. She is producing the debate “From banks to BP: can we trust big business?”, organised in partnership with Hotwire, which is taking place at the Battle of Ideas festival on Saturday 30 October.
