KHOODEELAAR! had advised Hazel Blears on 5 May 2009 not to squander the political asset she had hinted at possessing when she had pointed out the crassness of Crossrail. But Hazel being a self-confessed NUTS [see her endless self-promotional confetti], could not keep still. She has since our advice to her, squandered it by indulging in a whole lot of self-destructive antics that ended up creating a hole in her prospects. Now, Hazel has years of work to recover from the hole she got herself into…
While Hazel does the spade work that she evidently has to do in Salford in Greater Manchester, England] and beyond, we have to look at the other holes that the others have dug themselves into. We again ask Boris Johnson in London to show ANY evidence that justifies any of his abusing behaviour.
What do we mean by ‘abusing behaviour’? We mean his behaviour that abuses the powers that Tony Blair gave to the occupant in the post Boris Johnson occupies in the name of and at the expense of the people of London.
And Boris Johnson cannot have failed to notice – or he can have, which is a possibility – the call coming from the ‘London councils’ asking him to drop the Section 106 penalising charge that he has got to impose on those who wish to building structures in London. The problem is that a significant part of the penalised are ‘natural’ supporters of the political gang that Boris Johnson belongs to.
Can Boris Johnson afford to upset them? And is there any doubt that this crass penalty will not be tolerated by those ‘natural supporters’? The fact that David Cameron allowed the current transport spokeswoman for the Conservatives in the UK House of Commons to INCLUDE Crossrail in the list of UNWANTED items when she led her brief against the Section 106 charge powers to be applicable to raise funds for London Crassrail from developers leaves no doubt that Crassrail is being treated by David Cameron as crass.
Not that Cameron has the same ‘reasons’ as he should have, objectively speaking, for doing the opposing. Nevertheless, the fact that he has gone on the parliamentary record as being opposed to Crossrail amounts to a No to Crossrail. Which ADDS to the argument that Boris Johnson has LOST a significant part of his claim that Crossrail is vital. If it is so vital then Cameron is a fool. And if Cameron is a fool then Boris Johnson should say so out loud and in public....
And if he won’t say so then HE TOO is a fool. Or he is a political coward. Which means that he hasn’t got the political backing that is, will be necessary for Crossrail. Which amounts to the same thing. That Crossrail is crass. And that it is being treated by the Conservative party as a crass scam…
Boris Johnson should follow Ken Livingstone all the way and stage a de facto resignation from the Conservative ‘political’ whip [as opposed to the parliamentary whip]….
When is Boris Johnson going to quit the Conservative party whip? [To be continued]
