KHOODEELAAR! TOLD the Sheffield Telegraph so! Years ago. We took the initiative, in 2004-2008, to TELL the Sheffield Telegraph and the regional MPs to get active in analysing what Ken Livingstone was uttering as a tout for Big Business agenda and their London CrossRail scam. We pointed out the fact that Livingstone was blaming the regions for the alleged dearth of public funding to the tunes of £billions for big business agenda CrossRail scam in London. we told the SNP and we told the ordinary Scots to get involved in the debate. They failed to do that.

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD the Sheffield Telegraph so! Years ago. We took the initiative, in 2004-2008, to TELL the Sheffield, Telegraph and the regional MPs to get active in analysing what Ken  Livingstone was uttering as a tout for Big Business agenda and their London CrossRail scam. We pointed out the fact that Livingstone was blaming the regions for the alleged dearth of public funding to the tunes of £billions for big business agenda CrossRail scam in London. we told the SNP and we told the ordinary Scots to get involved in the debate. They failed to do that. Years later, both the English regions and the Scots are finding out the hard way that our diagnostic, constitutional and economic  commentaries and alerts were spot on years before the destruction was mounted in the formal frontal way that the CLEGGERON bandwagon of right-wingers is now unleashing.... Only NOW is the Sheffield Telegraph carrying a 'letter' in which they  say that cuts on Sheffield are unfair in comparing with the CONDEM's funding of Crossrail!   CRASS! Late.

[Earlier editions] 

That the UK Lib Dems party was in fact a misleading one. So misleading, in fact, that its current 'leader' is exposed as a right-winger of dire proportions. Nick Clegg was alwasys a right winger. As we have demonstrated whenever we  commenetd on his records and his role in the relevant context in the past one year. This is based on his schooling, his affiliations, his preferences and his role. He was in fact a servant of a tory in the eu hq. So Clegg was never really a Lib Dem, assuming for a moment that that two-word party represented anything remotely democratic as we define democratic as the universal principle of accountability of the power wielders and of the power seekers in the name of the people. As we also originally and exclusively observed, Clegg was chosen by the 'British establishment' the forces that carry out the real big business military industrial complex agenda making in this country, to continue Blair’s Thatcherite programme designed to smash the ordinary people into the ground. Big Society! How long before the media stops lying for them! Now people in Sheffield are  getting doses of ‘awareness’ ‘letters’ in the Sheffield Telegraph. That title is itself an evidential disgrace. It never tells the truth itself. It does the trendy thing that all ‘regional’ 'mainstream' media get up to.  Now it is trendy to chime in and echo the ‘sentiments’ about the CLEGGERON Budget of cuts. After a while, the Sheffield Telegraph will revert to its complacent, misleading, misinformed state. Unless there is direct evidence of CLEGGERON assault on Sheffield and in the nearby ‘Sheffield Telegraph’ commercial circulation area. However, for the records, we pulps the texts of the two letters dated today 24 June 2010 that deride Tory Clegg’s behaviour. They CONDEMN the condemnable CONDEM crime against society, against the environment and against the ethics of pro-democratic aspirants still managing to stay active with a residual conscientiousness….. Nick Clegg was managed into that ‘TV Debase’. As we instantly and accurately dissected and diagnosed when it was proposed. And by the employment of the A********r Stuart as the OTT-awed presenter of that initial edition [flaunted via Granada TV] , the Establishment made doubly sure that there would be no debate on the evidence, no rigour, no intendance only a promotion for the legitimization of the would be implementer of the sick-making propgramme of reactionary Tory Collusion. Nick Clegg was for THAT political purpose the SICK-maker Clegg. That leads to his having asked to be called SICK CLEGG.

Here are the two letters from the Sheffield Telegraph:
LETTER marked by KHOODEELAAR! As Letter A
“Is Clegg trying to finish us off?
From: Geoff Turner, Stone Delf, Fulwood, Sheffield S10
Published Date: 24 June 2010
After the dust from the election settles, it is now clear for all to see that Nick Clegg and his new friends intend to trash our city and its working people.
First he insults the public sector workers such as university and NHS staff, teachers, council workers, and civil servants, who constitute a large proportion of Sheffield's working population, by accusing them of having "gold plated" pensions which advertisement
hey do not contribute to, nor deserve, and which he intends to remove from those fortunate enough not to lose their jobs entirely as the cuts bite. Next his government announces that Sheffield Forgemasters are not to be loaned funds to help develop some viable industry for Sheffield, so that's the private sector trashed as well. I wonder how many voters realised that Nick Clegg and his party were unreconstructed Thatcherites? They didn't quite manage to finish Sheffield off in the 1980s, so here they come again to do it properly this time.”
LETTER marked by KHOODEELAAR! As Letter B
Sickened by this childish politics
From: Valerie Bayliss, Muskoka Avenue, Sheffield S11
Published Date: 24 June 2010
Like nearly everyone in Sheffield I am appalled at the government's announcement that it will not honour the £80m loan promised to Sheffield Forgemasters. This is nothing to do with money being tight.
If the coalition had the political will it would have found the money, as it has for Nissan which, as Cameron announced last week, is to get a grant - not even a loan! - of £20m from the government, and for the Crossrail scheme, which will get,
ally, billions of taxpayers' money in the next few years, as confirmed by the transport minister soon after taking office. This decision is a classic of the 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' kind. Foregmasters was aiming to become a big player in sector crying out for big players and where the investment would have given it a place in one of the fastest-growing manufacturing sectors in the world. What was it that Cameron was saying about rebalancing the UK economy to build up manufacturing? Actions speak louder than words.
Connoisseurs of childish political point-scoring should read the statement Nick Clegg has posted on his website, which makes it clear that the decision was purely a political and not a financial one. Sheffielders will no doubt remember this decision when they next face a ballot box.”

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD OSBORNE only in the past few minutes that Crossrail scam was CRASS! Here is confirmation again that even some of the most arduous backers of Big Business are let down by CRASSrail scammers! The point being made here about the Bond Street fiasco is this: that at no stage of the Crossrail scam's promotional history of the past 20 years was it treated as a responsibly audited and examined matter. Hence the tag CRASS that we, khoodeelaar! based on the facts. And crassly costly wastefully does the CRASSrail scam carry on being peddled...[To be continued]

Give my regards to Bond Street

Bond Street is in the news today, with retailers angry because plans for a Crossrail station there are in jeopardy. It would be the ultimate insult for retailers to be asked to fund the hugely expensive new line through an additional business rates levy, only for it not to serve the retail heart of the West End.
However, it’s not surprising that the scheme is being looked at again. Last week’s cuts - including government funding for the Sheffield Retail Quarter development - showed that the coalition is going to be ruthless when it comes to wielding the axe. More of which we’re likely to see in tomorrow’s budget, I suspect.
I was on Bond Street at the end of last week to have a look round the revamped Fenwick store. It seems to have been being rebuilt for decades, and isn’t entirely finished, but the results are pleasing and all that work has created about 20% more space, which you can really feel when you’re in the store. It definitely gives the product space to shine.
With the exception of the basement, which houses menswear and gifts, the whole store has been made over and while the results of all the work aren’t particularly radical, in most of the store at least, they reinforce Fenwick as a destination store and there are some very interesting touches, particularly when it comes to lighting. There are also a lot of very unusual chairs, offering varying degrees of comfort, dotted around.
While the rest of the store remains quite traditional in its look, the big surprise is the young fashion top floor, with exposed pipework, which looks really quite funky and is definitely a bold departure for Fenwick. There were quite a few mothers shopping with grown up daughters which - rightly or wrongly - I always perceive as Fenwick’s customer profile. A new restaurant by renowned Evening Standard food critic Fay Maschler isn’t finished yet but when it is I’m sure will be a massive help in driving footfall to the store.
Fenwick is an interesting beast, with the owning family prefering to stay out of the limelight and each of the stores having a very distinct personality and its own buyers. The Bond Street revamp has definitely taken the store on, and reinforced its point of difference as a calm but understatedly stylish oasis compared to its rival West End department stores.

KHOODEELAAR! Telling G Osborne, the UK CONDEM Finance Minister [soon to be CONDEMNED on the evidence of his behaviour in causing chaos and diverting resources from needed areas into wasteful areas like CRASSLY conceived Crossrail, to cite one callous item of legacy!] that he is heading for a very deep and uncomfortable hole of his very own! Chaos is going to be its first name unless Osborne quits faking, fabricating and stealing the versions left over from the Brown fronted Bliared state of the UK GDP!

KHOODEELAAR! telling the UK Crossrail scam-peddling daft Department for Transport [cabinet] Minister: The challenge for Hammond and his team at the DfT politically is this: have they the intelligence the sense and the credibility to ‘change’ the status quo of lies and fraudulence that have assisted the big business scam up to now in the way that it has been promoted at the some of the other, more urgent transport economic priorities in , around and about London?

KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against “Big Business agenda of looting the public under pretexts of big infrastructure projects - typified by Crossrail, London…” updating challenge to Big Biz propaganda outfit railnews.co.uk to show evidence that justifies the multi £Billion expenditure on the scam. However railndews co.uk continues to fail to publish ANY critical comment about CrossRail. As it has failed to publish the Khoodeelaar! campaign Organiser’s latest critique posted on railwnews.co.uk earlier today [Friday 04 June 2010].

The refusal and or failure on the part of railnews.co.uk to publish such critical comments merely add substance to the  already well-founded call for the scrapping of Crossrail. Of ALL the ‘projects’ that are being promoted in any part of the UK at the present time, only Crossrail is treated as being beyond any rigours of analysis, of accountability or answerability.

This is seen most clearly in the robotically delivered utterances ‘for Crossrail’ as mouthed by Boris Johnson. Just in the same way that they are still being delivered by the predecessor robot Ken Livingstone. For the past six years and five months, Khoodeelaar! has collected evidence and published the findings as based on the originally gathered evidence showing that CrossRail is not rationally backable. And it is not.

As was seen during the  formal period when the ‘CrossRail Bill’ was rubber stamped [into the notional statute book] through the two Houses of the UK Parliament, the evidence that showed Crossrail to be less important than the priority needs of the current tube and related rail networks in the London region  was prevented from being put to MPs and peers. 

Equally, evidence of design flaws seriously adversely  affecting the environment and the communities in London was prevented from being put to the MPs and the Peers. Evidence of economic calculations and planning about CrossRail showing that the scheme was a deeply flawed one, was also prevented from being put to the MPs and the Peers. The MPs and the Peers thus became stooges.
It follows that the 'Crossrail Bill' was a sham. As is the CrossRail project. And even the then Opposition Con Party backed the promotion of the Sham scheme. Thus it is a scam. Not a scheme. Unless they can show evidence that proves that CrossRail will produce overwhelming economic benefits to the ordinary people, the scam should be scrapped forthwith and the losses should be cut.

The challenge for Hammond and his team at the DfT politically is this: have they the intelligence the sense and the credibility to ‘change’ the status quo of lies and ft6duelenec that have assisted the big business scam up to now in the way that it has been promoted at the some of the other, more urgent transport economic priorities in , around and about London?

KHOODEELAAR! telling the 'industry' web site 'railnews.co.uk' that they are violating their democratic duty as they continue to peddle for Big Biz scam Crossrail. “understandably’, the fakers have continued to fail to publish the Khoodeelaar!

Muhammad Haque to railnews.co.uk


"Why are you continuing to make a special plea for 'Crossrail'? After doing this for years without carrying a single item of credible evidence to justify the diversion of £Billions of public money towards it, don't you think it reasonable and fair to ask that you produced evidence that shows that the additional costs, debts and diversion of scarce public paid for resources are credibly outweighed by the verifiably predictable and guaranteeable economic and social returns on the scam? I have pointed out to you a variety of external and non-partisan sources that have all cast doubt on the veracity of the Crossrail scam. You have chosen to suppress that evidence. How can that have been a service to transparency and ethical debate on an issue that involves the spending of £Billions of public money – borrowed a few times over and lasting for decades at the expense of ordinary people? Whoever may be in office at the DfT must show due rigour in assessing the priorities and regardless of my party political and ideological distance from any incumbent there, I think that they should be allowed to apply the principles of democratic answerability for their allocations of resources in the name of the UK public objectively, rationally and above all as based on and as justified by overwhelming evidence. You are seeking to deny them that democratic option, if your treatment of Phillip Hammond’s move is a reliable guide of your own purpose. Why?

Hammond orders review of new trains plans

Posted: 4th June 2010 | No Comments
Philip Hammond: NAO report may have reinforced his doubts
Philip Hammond: NAO report may have reinforced his doubts
THE transport secretary has ordered a comprehensive review of rolling stock orders, casting fresh doubt on plans for Thameslink and even Crossrail.

At the same time, the National Audit Office has published a report which is critical of the soaring cost of new trains.

Philip Hammond is already making cuts of £683 million in the Department for Transport budget in the current year, as part of general departmental economies ordered by the Chancellor which are intended to save a total of £6.2 billion.

But the DfT share of these economies is not nearly enough to account for rolling stock orders, which include the vehicles outstanding under the High Level Output Specification (or HLOS) as well as the fleets for Thameslink and later Crossrail. The total cost of these orders would have been at least £4 billion, with new rail vehicles now typically costing at least £1.5 million each.

The ambitious proposals for a next-generation intercity fleet had already been put on hold by the previous Labour government, and the chances of these plans being revived are now looking very slim.

Mr Hammond said Labour's plan for more trains would now be 'rigorously reassessed', to see if they still offered value for money for taxpayers.

"Since that announcement was made in 2007 the growth in passenger numbers has not materialised and costs have soared, leaving Labour's plans in tatters," he explained.

The transport secretary's doubts appear to have been reinforced by today's report from the National Audit Office, 'Increasing passenger rail capacity', which says that the predicted growth in passenger numbers has not materialised because of the economic downturn.

Mr Hammond added that ""significantly fewer new trains will be delivered for the money committed than were promised to passengers".
