KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO in 2009! That the 'local' East London IDIOTISER was lying for CRASSrail. Now, they make a twisted confession!

That twisted confession is typical of the fabricating IDIOTISER.

It still carries on beating the corrupting drum for Big Business by describing the scam as ‘the new £16 million Crossrail scheme’.

For a start, that sum is of course grossly, crassly inaccurate. It should be £16 Billion’.

With that kind of stark bonkers ignorance, where is the reasonable point of evidential significance allowing for a review of their ‘ journalistic’ conduct.

Any point is such a point. That is, any part of the contents of the East London Idiotiser is ‘appropriate’ as an item of idiocy that can be cited to illustrate the abysmal role the ‘local’ paper plays in misinforming the community and in keeping the community in ignorance.

That the EL IDIOTISER allowed its web site to carry the item with the stark stupid inaccuracy of  “£16 Million’ where it should have put £16 billion’ shows, for the n’th time, that the IDIOTISER is indeed most idiotically ‘edited’. And callously published.

A very CRASS year is going to be had in 2010 as far as the CRASS-role playing, CRASSrail-peddling ‘East London IDIOTISER’ is concerned

Crossrail starts 2010 disrupting London Underground


31 December 2009

By Mike Brooke

WORK beginning on the new £16 million Crossrail scheme in the City and East London means disruption for the first weekend of 2010 on the Underground, passengers are warned. 

Other engineering work this weekend also affects the DLR through Docklands and Overground services across London.

+++

LONDON UNDERGROUND:

The Circle Line is suspended on Saturday and Sunday, along with parts of the Metropolitan, District and Hammersmith & City lines, due to Crossrail construction work beginning.

The District is suspended between Whitechapel and Tower Hill. Replacement buses operate from Whitechapel, calling at Aldgate and Aldgate East. The Hammersmith & City is suspended from Barking to King’s Cross-St Pancras, while the Metropolitan is suspended between Aldgate and Baker Street.

Other engineering work means the Bakerloo is suspended between Queen’s Park and Stonebridge Park for Network Rail engineering work, with replacement buses calling at all stops en route.

Piccadilly Line trains only are not stopping at King’s Cross-St Pancras on Sunday due to station improvement work, 

The East London Line remains closed until the summer for major extension work, when it reopens after two years with trains running through Whitechapel northward to Dalston and southward to New Cross and Croydon.

But there is respite for some travellers on the Underground, as the Jubilee Line through Docklands has no planned work this weekend, for the first time in moths. The Central, Victoria and Waterloo & City lines are also running normally. 

+++

LONDON OVERGROUND:

Patchy services over the weekend on the Overground network means no trains between Stratford and Gospel Oak both days, while replacement buses to Hampstead Heath are calling at all stops on the way. 

Services are also suspended between Gunnersbury and Richmond, but passengers can switch to the District Line. Services are suspended between Willesden Junction and Shepherd’s Bush on Saturday and between Shepherd’s Bush and Clapham Junction after 10.30pm, but passengers can switch to Southern Rail. 

Euston-to-Watford Junction services are suspended between Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone all weekend, with replacement buses calling. 

+++

LONDON DOCKLANDS:

DLR services at Bank are suspended until the end of January for platform extension work to take three-carriage trains in the New Year.

KHOODEELAAR! had told Gordon Brown in February 2004 when he was still claiming to be prudent at the UK Treasury, that he must not fund Crossrail. We told him that the UK economy was in a state. That was 2004. Why hasn't G Brown been paying attention? Why is he bent on bankruptcy, imprudence and gratuitous debts. Deficits, wastes and liabilities? What is economic in any of THAT?

Bank of England is to keep quantative easing programme under review Photograph: Andy Rain/EPA

The Bank of England is leaving the door open to a new year £200bn money expansion programme after revealing that it remains unconvinced about the economy's ability to emerge from the deepest and longest recession on record.

Minutes of the December meeting of Threadneedle Street's monetary policy committee indicated that the nine-strong body is adopting a watch-and-wait approach amid concerns that an unrelenting credit crunch and a fresh wave of financial unrest abroad could put paid to Britain's recovery hopes.

The MPC said evidence that the economy was on the up after six successive quarters of falling activity were matched by downbeat signs. All nine members of the committee voted to keep borrowing costs on hold at 0.5% and to keep the quantitative easing programme – due to end in February – under review.

Sterling fell following publication of the minutes, with many City analysts convinced that interest rates will remain on hold at their lowest ever level.

Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics, said: "We continue to expect interest rates to remain at their current level until the end of 2010, if not considerably longer."

Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "The MPC are clearly keeping all of their policy options open going into the new year and further quantitative easing remains a possibility, particularly given the major uncertainties and risks surrounding both the growth and inflation outlooks."

Official figures released today for the service sector, which accounts for 76% of the economy, expanded by 0.1% in October following growth of 0.5% in September. Even so, the Bank said the immediate prospects for the economy remain unclear.

The MPC expressed concern about the crisis in Dubai and the downgrading of Greece's credit rating. "There was a risk that protracted weakness in these countries could dent export prospects."

Over the medium term, the UK economy needed to rely less on the consumer and public spending and more on exports, however, the minutes said, there was little evidence of this trend emerging.

MPC members cited stronger investment and consumption, coupled with the upward revision to growth in the third quarter, as evidence that economic conditions were improving. But these were felt to be minor developments when set against medium-term uncertainties.

Khoodeelaar! No to Crossrail Bill calls on UK Commons Speaker to act

Khoodeelaar! Challenges Crossrail-promoters abuse of UK Parliament in breach of the UK's obligations under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

Khoodeelaar! today is asking the Speaker of the UK House of Commons to conduct an immediate inquiry into the abuses by the Crossrail plan promoters of the House of Commons Crossrail Bill select committee

Khoodeelaar! is publishing the key evidence on the Internet at 1300 Hrs GMT Wednesday 5 July 2006

The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against CROSSRAIL HOLE BILL plan scheme attacks on the BRICK LANE WAND WHITECHAPEL LONDON E1 area has collected evidence showing that the House of Commons select committee on CrossRail bill has been made practically redundant. Opponents of the bill have been systematically prevented from presenting evidence thus making the whole process of 'parliamentary scrutiny of the contents of the bill’ invalid as far as the Crossrail bill is concerted.

The evidence has been collected as part of THE KHOODEELAAR! LEGAL action programme against the secretary of state fro transport mayor of London and the London borough of tower hamlets council, all of which have been abusing their powers and denying the local people the say that the people are supposed to have.

KHOODEELAAR! said in April 2008 that the UK Lib Dems were padlocking Brian Paddick, then their 'candidate' for 'mayor' in the name of London. In the accompanying dissection of the Lib Dems' role in context, KHOODEEKLAAR! also said that CRASSrail was a diversion. 13 months later, in April 2009, Simon Jenkins echoed part of what we had said. Our review of 2009 against CrossRail scam continues:

That statement may have been the reflection of a relatively common perception about the Big Business CRASSrail scam. But that was a significant comment coming rom a candidate for election to the office mayor of London. Why? Because the CRASSrail scam is being almost proprietorially claimed by the incumbent Livingstone.

Paddick's doubts on Crossrail were beginning to make him look almost credible as a genuine alternative to Livingstone. Now the Lib Dumbs have in effect padlocked Paddick's mouth and have ordered him to phase in a pro Big Business, pro- City of `London-scripted CROSSRAIL slogan in his 'mayoral election' propaganda.... The Lib Dumbs have thus killed off Paddick’s chance to even coming over as a knowledgeable, truthful candidate with up to date and clear knowledge about London’s needs and the pitfalls that London people face...

Crossrail is a pitfall, a waste and a diversion

KHOODEELAAR! Asks Ruth Kelly, still an MP: where are the ‘HIGH-valued’ 30,000 jobs? You had said on 5 October 2007 those would be generated by 'Crossrail' across the whole of the UK. Where are the jobs, Ruth? It is now two years and 3 months since you made that boast!

Khoodeelaar! Said No to Tower Hamlets Council’s behaviour in inviting the Crossrail hole attacks on the community. Yes. That is what the controlling clique on the Council had got up to.

 If they had their way, there would not be the ‘diversity’ of which they boast in their ‘tourism’ touting promotions about what the East End of London had on ‘offer’ for the touted-for ‘tourists’. The very heart of the ‘diverse’ East End would have been ripped out. 

There would have been large scale and permanent destruction of the Hanbury Street and the Princelet Street. And without the small traders and households on the streets, the character of Brick Lane would have gone.  And there would have been worse damage done to nearby streets. We made sure that they did not get away with that plot.  We did this by hard slog. Six years of the campaigning that inevitably took its toll in more ways than words can describe.  

Our organisation and activities by KHOODEELAAR! The campaigning movement against Crossrail hole scam also brought us into undeserved proximity with some of the most anti-social vile elements that have been foisted upon the East End by pernicious forces operating the agenda via the controlling clique on the ‘local’ Tower Hamlets Council. 

We could not avoid gathering some rare insights into the minds and the mentality of some of these elements. 

We thus knew for sure why the nasty Crossrail attacks ploy could have been hatched against the East End. . 

As a small antidote to those nefarious elements deployed by Big Business via the local Council, we had also organised the community that made its views very clear: NO to Crossrail hole attacks on the East End of London. No to Big Business scam…[To be continued]

Blair and Brown have left no legacy, says veteran Labour MP

Damning: Ken Purchase

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have made less impact on Britain in 12 years than even the most inconsequential of post-war Tory Prime Ministers.

That is the damning verdict of Labour MP Ken Purchase, who is stepping down at the next Election after 18 years.

Mr Purchase said that unlike most of the ten Premiers who preceded Mr Blair - seven of whom were Tories - the 'superficial, money-obsessed' former Prime Minister had failed to leave a legacy.

Even Sir Alec Douglas-Home, who served two days short of a year between 1963 and 1964, left more of a legacy, he claimed.

Mr Purchase, 69, once an aide to former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, added: 'We [Labour] don't have a lasting legacy as such. There has been no seminal moment. It hasn't happened.

'We have done good things like the minimum wage but nothing you can hold up and say "this was Labour's big achievement".

'Tony Blair's approach was a short-term view of "what matters is what works". There was no philosophical underpinning of New Labour.'

And he claimed Mr Brown has had little chance to establish a legacy. 'It's a bit early to say, but he got the job too late,' he said.

However, he praised Winston Churchill, who he said would be venerated for defeating Hitler, and Margaret Thatcher for revolutionising commerce.
