KHOODEELAAR! TOLD the utterer of gross CRASS Crossrail scam-peddling ‘Business’ lie ‘the’ ‘MP’ S POUND so.
Now another ‘Business’ ‘leader’ IN EFFECT echoes what we said. Evidence mounts that Mr Pound spieled stupid! Again! [4]
For those who are new here, the ‘MP” Stephen Pound is a regular fixture on ‘London news and media circuits’.
He pops up at the slightest of excuse.
And it seems that he is busier with appearing and uttering on assortment of ‘the meeza’ platforms and slots than he is with anything really relevant to the lives and the thoughts of his alleged constituents.
He is so frequently on show that it seems that he probably has a sleeping bag with the tag ‘MP’ as a ‘licence’ for him to sleep on location and on studio floors.
On the occasion that Tony McNulty made his highly condemned fake apology in the UK House of Commons recently, the TV cameras filming the moment could not get rid of the peering face of…. Yes. No. Not the face of Tony McNulty the non-apologising-apologising MP for a Harrow constituency… it was the unmistakable face of Stephen Pound ‘MP’….
On the [imagined, stretched, semi-logical, sub-mathematical, diametrically] opposite side of Tony McNulty was, of course the half-visible face or facade of… yes, we got it, Jim F…Another ‘MP’!
Between the two of them, they can easily sink any case, discredit any cause no matter how otherwise acceptable!
So it was on the BBC Politics Show London segment on a Sunday.
Stephen Pound had not got it. Even though it had been days since he had sat there in the House of Commons near Tony McNulty, he had not understood the sheer, utter absurdity of his appearance.
The presenter of the particular edition of the Politics Show London segment asked S Pound about Tony McNulty and remarked that Pound had been seen sitting next to him.
Instead of making a decent statement about a probable coincidence of House of Commons sitting arrangement, Pound embarked on yet another defence of Tony McNulty….
Which shows that far from being there just by chance, Stephen Pound must have been there by design and contrivance.

Crossrail also came under consideration after rumours the Government was contemplating pulling the plug on the project. Richard Brown, chief executive of Eurostar, urged investment to continue.
He said: "We should be concerned about not so much the cancellation of Crossrail but the curtailment or the slowing up of it.
"It's actually a much bigger issue. The private sector is already finding it difficult to invest because of funding and profitabilty. The public sector is going to find it hard because of public expenditure cut backs.

Improve transport or London economy will fail

Improving transport links to east London is essential to safeguard the economy of the region.
The topic was one of a number discussed at the Thames Gateway Forum at The Indigo2 yesterday, which drew together agencies and organisations involved in developing the region flanking the river east of Canary Wharf.
Among those taking part was Richard Gooding, chief executive of London City Airport, who had some trenchant views on transport links in the area, particularly the vexed issue of a new bridge.
He said: "Cross river connections are a major problem in east London. The Mayor has published his new draft transport strategy but he's not pushing enough on a river crossing.
"We still rely on the Woolwich Ferry and although the Mayor plans an upgrade of that we need something for the 22nd century, not just the 21st. A new river crossing would make the area work as an area."
Mr Gooding also poured cold water on Boris Johnson's proposals to develop a new airport in the Thames Estuary.
He said: "London needs a new airport like a hole in the head, but what it does need is adequate airport capacity. If we don't have sufficient capacity to serve the Thames Gateway then the whole of London's economy will fail.
"An easier solution is to build a new airport but we haven't done that very often in this country. The likelihood is to create a new airport from scratch, with all the infrastructure around it, will take 30 years at a cost of £40billion, but add in the infrastructure and it'll cost £100billion.
"That means it will take us 15 years to decide to do it, let alone actually do it. What we need in London is to plan for the interim, using airports like Luton, Stansted and London City to their maximum capacity."
But he ruled out having flights from City Airport on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
He said: "It's extremely unlikely we will change that unless there's a huge increase in business passengers wanting to fly on a Saturday afternoon, but we don't see any sign of that."
Crossrail also came under consideration after rumours the Government was contemplating pulling the plug on the project. Richard Brown, chief executive of Eurostar, urged investment to continue.
He said: "We should be concerned about not so much the cancellation of Crossrail but the curtailment or the slowing up of it.
"It's actually a much bigger issue. The private sector is already finding it difficult to invest because of funding and profitabilty. The public sector is going to find it hard because of public expenditure cut backs.
"The key issue is to make sure the Government doesn't cut back on essential infrastructure investment, whether it's in Crossrail, additional east London river crossings or local road networks.
"Public sector investment over the next five years is projected to decline very significantly as a percentage of GDP and that's a very bad thing. Investment must be sustained."
