Tuesday’s confession by the occupier at the Onion in London SE1 in the name of the people of London that the London Underground network was far more important than the notional Crossrail was another sign that the successor of Ken Livingstone as the tout in residence of Big Business was getting increasingly nervous about his role [and the impact of any gaffes, errors on top of the dozens he has already collected] in relation to UK Con party’s chances at the scheduled general election in a few months time.

After all, BoJo fancies himself as a power-seeker and he would not want to lose the chance by messing up D Cameron’s chances.

And as ALL independent indications of economic prospects and movements [or lack of them] show about the UK, CrossRail means more debts, wastes and diversion than it does transport.

As KHOODEELAAR! has diagnosed and exclusively asserted in public EVERYDAY for almost 6 years now, Crossrail is all those things: Wasteful, diversionary and unnecessary.

This is why we are again telling Boris Johnson to take this sound and politically astute advice: SCRAP Crossrail.

Khoodeelaar! No to wasteful Crossrail scam: Only spend money on the EXISTING transport network; improve the quality, the standard of service.

This may sound obvious. But the obvious is being overlooked in a big, wasteful way by the peddlers of the Crossrail scam.
Those peddlers are typified by Jo Valentine. She has a spot in the constitutionally ambivalent, unaccountable UK House of Pee-rs too.
That makes her even more undemocratic and unaccountable than she could be had she been plain Jo.
As the Houses of are not accountable, it is not known in public what abuses Jo Valentine has perpetrated in her promotion of CrossRail scam while the pack was being bureaucratically pushed through the two Houses [February 2005 and July 2008] via their stooged 'Crossrail Bill Select committees'.
When we [KHOODEELAAR! No to “Big Business Crossrail scam agenda…” campaign] told the London Times online in 2007 that we would notionally give the 'Houses of Pee-rs' the benefit of the doubt and wait to see how they delivered their constitutional duties.

We did so on the theoretical basis.

We also did it to point out to the then stooged 'transport minister' [the parasitic post that has been passed on to suitably like 'aspirants' as typified by the performance since Harris left and his shoes got filled in ...] ' and self-seeker Tom Harris that he must not be so gross as to predict the outcome of the 'Crossrail Bill Select committee' in the House of Pee-rs. That we did go on the record to say this was on many levels important.

Harris did not have an answer to what we said. Nor did any of his co-peddlers of the scam at the time. And as events have shown, Harris knew that in referring to the House of Pee-rs CrossRail Bill committee he was in fact referring to another familiar stooged body. And he was comfortable with that. We were not. No democratic, constitutionally conscientious person or campaign should be comfortable with that state of affairs....

That Harris was 'vindicated' by the stooged behaviour of the House of Peer-s committee concerned shows that there is no democratic decency or integrity in the place.. Against this background, we make the observations we do make here about Jo Valentine...

Will Jo valentine come clean and confess all?
Will she say how many members of the House of Pee-rs she sought to influence?
Will she give a roll call of dishonour ?
So far, Jo Valentine has escaped "media attention" linked with any illegal, illegitimate, immoral, disgraceful claims of expense.
Mortgages and so on.

But she is hitting the headlines in the construction trade sites today [Tuesday 27 - Wednesday 28 October 2009] by returning to lobby for the public Billions [Sterling POUNDS] to be made available to the construction lobby under the name of CRASSRail.
How many of those is she in touch with? [To be continued]
