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.

So why has the MEN failed to acknowledge the truth?

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.
