KHOODEELAAR! AGAIN advising Boris Johnson to remember what we had told him in 2007: Set a standard that is higher than the one exhibited by Ken Livingstone. Faking on about 'exempting' small businesses on CROSSRAIL penalty while grandstanding it in Davos is not good enough. Boris has made a totally false claim in uttering that he has let off 80 percent of London businesses over the CRASSrail tax. Boris must come clean and confess all. Small businesses in London are being penalised by other, mostly secret [that is unpublicised, unaudited, unaccountable], back doors.
And Boris knows it. He is the one that is doing that. So he must withdraw his Davos boast and confess that he is attacking small businesses in London for CRASSrail Big Biz agenda.
Boris also must show what the point is of his being the ‘democratic’ component on the MPA. What is democratic about the status quo? Boris must also explain how he squares his alleged wisdom on bankers with the reality of the bankruptcy of the financial life of most ordinary people in London as caused by the City of London and their allies in the financial sector. Boris cannot make utterances and then expect to be let off from the duty he has to discharge and to be seen to be discharging accountability to the people of London in whose name he assumes and stays in the post in the Onion in London SE1
