KHOODEELAAR! on the SURREY COMET website continuing the evidential updater and commentary on the failures of UK parliament to hold the UK executive to account, as seen in the brazen passage of the Crossrail scam “Bill” a year ago,in July 2008]. KHOODEELAAR! holds the tory and the lib dems opposition responsible for that failure of democratic accountability in the UK
"
Thanks for your comments, Fred from Surbiton in Surrey..
The KHOODEELAAR! Campaign is against Crossrail for the obvious reason that it is uneconomic.
We are also against Crossrail because the scam has been blatantly and quite corruptly pushed through the UK Parliament by the Executive defying the authority of Parliament. Or at least by defying the democratic authority that ought to have been asserted by the ordinary members of Parliament.
KHOODEELAAR! has sought in the past nearly six years since we began the campaign against the Crossrail scam, to tell the two Houses of parliament.
We lodged formal objections to the ‘Crossrail Bill Select Committee’ in the House of Lords and before that, a number of our affiliated groups, including the Spitalfields Small Business Association plus several thousand local traders, residents and tenants from across the East End of London signed our communications and formal letters of objections via a listed number of objectors.
We wanted Parliament to hear the evidence that Crossrail was not only NOT wanted by the people of the East End or by the people across London but that there was no economic let alone environmental justification for the scam.. Neither House of the UK ‘Parliament’ would allow our evidence to be put to them! Besides, the House of Commons version of the ‘Select Committee’, as chaired by Alan Meale MP [Mansfield, Notts], stopped one MP from raising questions about a Crossrail Whitechapel station.
That station ‘scheme’ was a direct bribe made to appease and recruit the controlling clique on the local Tower Hamlets Council fore the purpose of the Big Business scam.
The reason, as given by Alan Meale –if it can be treated as reason – was that on 19 July 2005 the House of Commons had barred any real examination of the Crossrail scam to be done by the ‘Select Committee’. So what was the point of the Select Committee?
The public did not know in June 2006 what they came to know in June 2009, three years later. That the Houses of ‘Parliament’ have been reduced to Houses of Stooges and touts. There is no evidence of any democratic, independent. Objective and rigorous and consistent challenge on any issue that matters to the public in this country by either Houses to the Executive. This is far worse than anything has been associated with Guy Fawkes and his over-recited plans to physically do away with the Palace now worthy of being called Ghostsminster.
Any examination of the Crossrail ‘negotiations’ along the original stated route will confirm the pattern of corruption as the key feature of the process. That so much of the Crossrail scam peddling is done by MPs and peers and not by any recognised ordinary public more than proves the diagnosis that it has been a ploy by unaccountable forces that are bent on looting £Billions of UK public money.
Khoodeelaar! has been seeking to draw attention to the one thing the ordinary people still can do in this country. SAY NO. It will save £Billions if more people start to say No like we have been saying.
It will be most prudent to say No now than after the ‘horse has bolted’.
Unlike Gordon Brown, we remain ordinarily committed to the virtue of prudence in public finance and public decision-making.
Despite the hype, neither the Conservatives nor the Lib Dems as the two numerically major parties of Opposition have done its work of holding the Executive to account at all on this.
Thank you.
