Your piece promoting the Crossrail lobby is misleading about the substantive issue of the transport service that the people of London actually need and one that is within the reasonably available resources to fund and maintain.
You say convoluted 20 year history, in almost the same vein as has been used by the touts for Big Business contractors and their5 subsidiary counterparts from all manner of 'specialist fields and enterprises' pushing for the scam as it is in the Crossrail Act.
You make no mention of the literally hundreds of objections, many of them submitted with detailed references to the central contractors of the then CrossRail Bill.
ALL the evidence against CrossRail was suppressed by both Houses of Parliament.
In fact the setting up of the Select Committee, as defined on 19 July 2005 in the House of Commons, was done with such intentional defiance of constitutionality that the Select Committees ended up relying on the excuse as they barred presented of all evidence central to the Crossrail scam.
Hence it remains a scam. In the irrational propaganda and hype conducted for Big Business forces behind the scam and fronted by Ken Livingstone and a number of touts from the City of London during the period before the corruption of the City and Big business became admitted over the past 10 months, they referred to Crossrail not as another transport project or railway line or lines but as a cult event.
And the touts acted as the cult’s preachers and liens of dubious priests.
You are doing the same thing by using milder imagery.
What you have said in your piece is another proof that Crossrail is NOT primarily about transport in London. Many things, but not transport.
And this has been supported by the evidence found over the past six years in the peddling propaganda promoted by the very small number of zealots working for Big Business bent on looting the UK public of £Billions under the contrived Crossrail.
In the period between June 2003 when the lying lobby for CrossRail published a letter addressed to Tony Blair at No.10 Downing Street by paying for it as an advertisement in the London EVENING STANDARD and June 2009 when some of the crassness of that scam are being admitted albeit by default, there has been no evidence that London public transport needs a Crossrail.
There is evidence and has remained consistently valid in the same period that transport networks in London are not being administered by dedicated, accountable management and agenda.
That like in the rest of the public sector, a lot of waste is being inflicted at the expense of quality and that the waste is linked with various private interest and careerists dominating the actions. Neither the two Houses of Parliament nor the London Assembly nor the local Councils have been seen to be doing the one thing that justifies their existence and their money. Scrutinise the executive. And the result is the unending wastefulness of CrossRail.
As of the 2012 Games hosting. And what has the mainstream media done to compensate for the deficit displayed by all official agencies and forums of scrutiny? Not anything much at all.
As you have shown once again. In fact your role can be cited as perpetuating the deficit of the political, 'constitutionally' established forums. Suppress the truth and let the public lose out. Indefinitely.
We, the ordinary people in and around London say scrap Crossrail. It is not necessary.
Fund and maintain and upgrade the existing transport infrastructure in and around London instead.
