On another Saturday, in january 2008, I had reason to refer to the UK 'mainstream' 'political party' the Lib Dems in the context of our campaign against the Crossrail hole.

I was not convinced, as I wrote then, that their 'party' candidate Brian Paddick, had quite understood how corrupt the Lib Dumbs' party machine was.

Here I am reproducing the main ‘Croydon Guardian’ web site piece on which I commented and the comment itself.

Why today?


Because the Lib Dumbs HAVE made sure to shut Paddick up on Crossrail. As far as Crassrail was concerned, they have belatedly realised, [after counting the numbers of sexual partners that Calamity Clegg has had or rechecking on the moral compass of Sarah T who has displayed such allegedly accurate knowledge despite her mother ‘watching’ Sarah T’s focus] about the frequency of sexual contacts between Tony Blair and Cherie Booth!] Paddick must only tell lies, thus making Paddick eat the bit of truth about Crossrail that he had said and the bit that I had found out about.

I am writing to put on the record my sense of utter astonishment at coming across a quotation in your item apparently reporting the position on Crossrail as taken by Brian Paddock, one of the candidates at the scheduled 1 May 2008 election for the ‘post of mayor of London’.

You quote him as follows:-

“There's a bias against commuters in south west London. Money going into projects like Crossrail don't benefit them at all," he said.

Did he actually say those words?

I am only asking this because in the period since he has been the declared candidate for the post for the Liberal Democrats, Mr Paddick has not come across as making any similar statement about Crossrail. This is very serious.

Also, when he appeared on the ITV programme ' packaged as a ‘debate’ between the three candidates including Mr Paddick and Boris Johnson and the incumbent Ken Livingstone, Mr Paddick was the one that opted OUT of that segment of the broadcast programme which was dedicated to the issue of CROSSRAIL.

In fact Crossrail was the subject that was shown on the ITV programme to have caused one of the main ‘forceful’ exchanges between Johnson and Livingstone, with Brian Paddick fading out of focus!

So what is the point that he is making in the statement you attribute to him?

Also, he has NOT made any comment similar to the one you report him as having made apparently questioning the cost of Crossrail, about the Crossrail scheme in relation to the main role played by all the ‘ Lib Dem spokespersons’ on transport in London as evident on their records .

Nor did Mr Paddick question the promotion of Crossrail that was sung by Lib Deems MP Susan Kramer at the ‘Third Reading’ of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ as held in the House of Commons on 13 December 2007.

Equally, Mr Paddick has not disowned, on the record and in public the position on Crossrail as exhibited by any of the others in the Lib Dems party who have been part of the parade of the pro-Crossrail lobby over the past four years.

That parade has included the Lib Dem MP Lynne Featherstone who in 2005-2006 was one of the very few MPs that went to the verge of hysteria in denouncing both Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling for their alleged reluctance to provide the public funding for the Crossrail scheme.

The CROYDON GUARDIAN web site had carried the piece as follows:

Paddick and Blair make up ahead of election

Lib Dems mayoral candidate Brian Paddick
Mayoral hopeful Brian Paddick says he has buried the hatchet with his old boss Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair.

Mr Paddick, a former Lambeth borough commander who went to Sutton Manor High School, retired after clashing with Ian Blair over the handling of the Jean Charles de Menezes shooting in July, 2005.

In an exclusive interview with yourlocalguardian.co.uk the 49-year-old says he met with Commissioner Blair recently and the pair are now on good terms.

"I think we are both adult enough that if I was mayor and he Commissioner we could work together," he said.

He added that the meeting went so well Sir Ian dismissed his notetaker.

Speaking at yourlocalguardian.co.uk's Sutton offices he also said south west Londoners can expect an improved and safer transport system if he wins the May election.

The Lib Dem candidate said he would end transport policies which only favoured central London and draft in police to tackle teen crime on buses.

"There's a bias against commuters in south west London. Money going into projects like Crossrail don't benefit them at all," he said.

He added: "Some people in the south west are paying much more for journeys under the current zone structure. I want a fair fare for commuters in south west London."

According to Mr Paddick transport priorities would be decided in consultation with local councils and elected officials.

He also said he wanted to see more police officers on bus routes known to suffer from antisocial behaviour, and advocated removing free travel from teen troublemakers.

"I want to take away the right to free travel from those who abuse it rather than a blanket ban on free travel for teens."

And despite the pressures of getting ready to launch his mayoral campaign on Monday he still had time to pop in and visit his 87-year-old mum.

"She lives just round the corner in Sutton. She'd never forgive me if I came to here and didn't pop in and see her," he joked.
