Boris Johnson must get this: Crossrail is a scam, a ploy, a diversion of massive public resources to enrich the big companies...

If ‘cost’, ‘cost-effectiveness’, ‘need’, ‘access’, ‘function’, ‘productivity’ ‘time and motion’ [and a thousand more words, phrases and concepts of daily application] mean anything they only ever do mean anything when they are found to be true.

That is why any of those has lasted.

When any word or phrase is found to be unsound, it goes out of circulation and its ‘use’ cannot be justified.

And so is the case with ‘transport’.

It cannot be right for anyone to equate a particular, seriously flawed scam to an entire area of human activity.

When I told Boris in September 2007 that he should show that he had higher morality than Ken Livingstone I meant things like the stupid comments that Boris Johnson began to make peddling Crossrail.

I know for a fact that Boris Johnson has NOT written ever about economics. Not really. Not ‘appreciably;y. seriously or ‘appreciably’ significantly.... He has not done so on most matters and issues that he will now have to get to understand and deal with.

If he can show that he understands transport in London then I will be the first to reasonably welcome that and shall go along with anyone who wants to allow him to say what is demonstrably relevant on the matter.

But he has not ‘become elected mayor in the name of London’ even two weeks, and he has been over-uttering for Crossrail.

It is a stupid thing to have done.

Crossrail is NOT transport.

Crossrail was NEVER transport.

Crossrail will not be transport.

The entire scheme is an excuse, a pretext, a cover for the Blairing regime that Gordoin Brown is looking for plausible-sounding pretexts to fund their colluders in Big Business.

The transport needs of and in London are a million miles way from the lying propaganda about CRASSrail hole plot.


Boris Johnson must find out enough about transport in London before making any utterances like the ones he has already made for the seriously flawed and the crassly conceived and the unconstitutionally promoted [through the UK Parliament] Crossrail hole scam...

Boris Johnson must not repeat the lies that Ken Livingstone practised.

Boris Johnson must not tell ANY lies at all.

This is easier said than realised.

Looking at Boris Johnson's contradictory statements about all sorts of issues already, Khoodeelaar! campaign against “Big Business-craved Crossrail hole plot” has today this statement to make to Boris Johnson:

If you think that the Tory opportunists and sleaze-baggers already visible on all parts of your entourage will not sink you, you could not be more wrong.

You have no duty to make stupid comments backing CRASSrail, Not yet anyway.

You may find that Ken Livingstone has left you more poisoned 'legacies' than you ever would have wished for...

Crossrail IS THE FIRST that is the most expensive one of those

So do NOT go uttering idiocies 'for Crossrail'. Not yet...

And we mean it, Boris. Not yet by a long while...
