Khoodeelaar! has said for 54 months that Crossrail is a big business ploy to rob the UK Public.. No 'left' grouping supported us.. What has changed?

Khoodeelaar! asks the 'Socialist Party' [a British ‘political’ outfit claiming to be the definitive socialist party] : why they are faking it when allegedly and BELATEDLY ‘attacking’ Ken Livingstone's touting for Big Business...

‘Big Business’ as a two word phrase may have been around before the Crossrail hole plot was launched by Ken Livingstone.

But the KHOODEELAAR! campaign has made the link and has made that link well known in the past 54 months.

Not so the ‘Socialist Party’ . Or indeed any of the other so-called socialist outfits in the UK

ALL of these, to varying degrees- colluded with Ken Livingstone and his fake socialist stunts.

For the years since the 1981 coup that Livingstone staged to oust Andrew Macintosh who had led the then Greater London Council slate for the then Labour Party to victory at the GLC election.

Livingstone at the GLC adopted the first corrupting policy, of bribing a significant number of ‘propaganda outlets’ that included many of the then active left outfits.

It is curious that many of these outfits are also linked with the Ken Livingstone propaganda that has been witnessed in the past 1 year

So much so that many of these left outfits bought into Livingstone's fundamentally stupid line and to describe Boris Johnson as Barmy Boris, or as a joke and so on...

They said that Boris Johnson was a joke!

None of them looked seriously at the history of either the Tory Party or indeed of the Blaired parry. If they did then they kept the facts to themselves.

As far as the public domain is concerned they did not treat the intervention of Boris Johnson at all seriously.


Likewise, they did not examine the career and the careerism of Ken Livingstone...


The result was that even upto the morning of 2 May 2008, a day after the London Assembly and ‘London mayor’ elections [and before the results were officially announced] the ‘left’ was still in delusion and was refusing to see that Livingstone had sunk out of ‘power’ at the ****** Hall London SE1.

Now, some of these ‘left’ outfits are coming out with even more immature analyses...

Like the one below , taken from the ‘Socialist party’. It is the same outfit that has backed historically the main racist policies of the former Labour Party. The result is that it is party to the current imperialist involvement by the UK..

Khoodeelaar! will look at the ‘Socialist party’ in a alter commentary.

For the record, here is what they have published on their web site today Thursday 29 May 2008:

Johnson's Prince of Darkness

LONDON'S NEW Tory mayor Boris Johnson has appointed a ruthless private equity businessman as his "first deputy mayor" in charge of transport. Trade unionists label Tim Parker the 'Prince of Darkness' - Parker has been in charge at the AA, Kwik-Fit and Clarks Shoes and has a reputation for cutting jobs while cutting himself a lucrative deal from the situation.

Parker pocketed £30 million for himself out of AA when he left last year after sacking a third of the workforce and saddling AA/SAGA with £4.8 billion of debt. He arrived in his own Porsche to sack workers at Clark's shoes in Somerset. He made £25 million from his sacking spree at Kwik-Fit. Parker's so rich, he can afford to work for a £1 salary - obviously anticipating more such 'good tidings' in future.

Johnson pledged in the Greater London elections to sign a 'no-strike deal' with London's transport unions, which the unions oppose. Parker's appointment signals Johnson's readiness, at some stage, to attack the strength of these unions, in particular the militant RMT union on the tubes. The contradiction between public transport and private profit, already increased by the public private partnership (PPP) scheme in London Underground, will become even sharper.

RMT general secretary Bob Crow, said: "The world's finest metro system does not need an asset-stripper or a Prince of Darkness. Tube users and workers have already had more than a bellyful of privatisation with the huge waste and failure of the PPP and the collapse of private tube firm Metronet."

Unfortunately former mayor Ken Livingstone started the move towards big business running London's tubes. He refused to fight the Labour government's private public partnership plans and appointed a former union-buster Bob Kylie as his own transport supremo with a huge salary plus £2 million when he left in 2006.

The unions (and transport users) should now take note of Johnson's plans and prepare for stormy times ahead.
