KHOODEELAAR! Noting the stupidity of the 'local' 'newspaper' 'East London Advertiser'. For the past almost three years, the East London IDIOTISER has published lies for Big Business CRASSrail. It has at the same time failed to publish the facts about the wasteful, debts-causing diversionary CrossRail scam. In doing so, the E L Idiotiser has given space and backing to other liars. Not one item has been published in the sinking ‘newspaper’ about the implications of the Big Business agenda on the ‘economy’ of the East End of London. While the E L Idiotiser has done that, another title, located around the Isle of Dogs and representing mainly the businesses located in the part called ‘the Docklands’ has published some of the evidence of the wastefulness of CRASSrail.  This item [below] has been taken from the website of the Idiotiser where it has been appearing for the past 8 hours or so. This one [as we reproduce in texts below this commentary and updater] is in fact based on the publication of the ‘facts’ by other 'local' ‘news’ titles across London at various points in time during the past three to four months. Most of the ‘findings’ the ignorant IDIOTISER attributes to the ‘London Assembly’ have been actually published by regional titles in London and in the East of England. And Khoodeelaar! has been pointing out those facts at all relevant times.  Every time a publication to the same effects had occurred. Except the East London Idiotiser which insidiously fails to tell the truth… So why is it ‘conceding’  NOW that Crossrail is CRASS, as has been diagnosed and dissected by Khoodeelaar! for the past six years?   As for the  E L IDIOTISER’s reference to one London Assembly member moderately casting doubts on the viability of the CRASSrail scam [our words] , the IDIOTISER is stupid again,. On 15 October 2009, the same London Assembly member was ‘referred to’ in a Tower Hamlets Lib Dems’ gathering staged at the mis-named Oxford House in Derbyshire Street [off the Bethnal Green Road]. That staged event was ‘chaired’ by a strangely-wheeled out Malcolm S*********s, the ‘Editor’ of the E L Idiotiser who failed to tell ‘readers’ the truth about what he had actually chaired. At that event, the Lib Dems’ ‘Treasury’ fronter and  OTT-hyped salesman for the same ‘Party’ Vince Cable exposed his own monumental ignorance as he ‘praised’ CRASSrail in hyperbolic, superlative terms before idiotically turning right towards Malcolm S****************s and the rest of the table to ask: Does it [Crossrail] come here[Tower Hamlets where Bethnal Green, Derbyshire Street and Oxford house all are]?  How to reconcile the belated and typically moderate doubts by Caroline Pidgeon about the ‘viability of Crossrail’  with the irrational enthusiasm expressed by the unplugged Cable for CRASSrail as he had displayed on 15 October 2009? The very same V Cable whom Malcolm S**************s the ‘editor’ of the E L Idiotiser hyped to the skies as ‘Saint’ ‘Cable’  shortly after the ignorance-filled event? The Idiocy, the ignorance and the callousness of CRASSrail peddlers know no bounds. Nor does their strange ‘realisation’ that Crossrail is CRASS, after all!!!!!  [To be continued]

Unfair burden’ on London paying half Crossrail’s £16bn cost

25 February 2010

By Mike Brooke

LONDON has been 'unfairly burdened' with the costs of Crossrail on top of the way compulsory purchases of businesses and homes along the route have been handled.

That's the view from a London Assembly investigation into the funding for the £16 billion 'super tube' linking Canary Wharf and the City with Heathrow Airport.

A report by the Assembly's transport committee questions why London is forced to pay more than half the cost of a project that is estimated to generate £22bn for the Government over the next 10 years.

Eight of the 37 Crossrail stations are outside Greater London, it points out, yet only London businesses are contributing through the Mayor's supplementary business rates.

"Crossrail's initial dealings with displaced businesses and residents have been very disappointing," said Assembly transport chair Caroline Pidgeon. "Some negotiations have been poorly handled."

Her committee is critical of Crossrail's negotiations to take over premises by compulsory purchase to make way for construction work.

It also feels there is still "an element of risk" to a project of this scale in the current economic and political environment. The report calls for more details on targets for jobs for Londoners during construction and when the line is up and running.

Crossrail will expand London's overcrowded rail and Tube network capacity by 10 per cent when it opens in 2017, linking Heathrow Airport directly to the West End, City and Canary Wharf and on to Abbey Wood, with a branch from Whitechapel out to Stratford and Shenfield.
