NETWORK RAIL has been caught acting as CHEAT WORK rail! As CHEAT WORK Rail is close to 'Crossrail' pluggers, we say: SCRAP CRASSRAIL!

Depriving inner cities, or worse, ADDING to poverty in the inner cities, like Crossrail hole/s, is not the way forward, Gordon!

Gordon Brown is defying all reasonable, lawful and constitutional advice, evidence e and warnings to him about his ill-advised ‘commitment to the Crossrail hole plot.
Why is he doing so?
There is no answer in what he has said so far on Crossrail.
As we have been publishing daily, there CAN BE NO EVIDENCE in support of Brown’s commitment to the London Crossrail.
It is a poverty-creating project.
It is at variance with his stated opposition to poverty.
Why then is Brown sticking by Crossrail?
We have to look at other possible causes.
Including his state of mind. We shall go to a psychological site in the next parts.
For this part,w e refer to Zimbabwe and the Sino-Russian veto on sanctions move that the USA and Brown had tabled.
Will Gordon Brown be ‘vindicated’ over the Russian veto ‘freeze’ [as Brown claimed in the House of Commons speech in effect] over the USA-UK move at the Security Council to vote for sanctions against Robert Mugabe-fronted regime? This is a question that has arisen because the Russians used their veto and opposed the USA-UK move to have the sanctions imposed against Zimbabwe.
What the final ‘evidence’ published may show about Gordon Brown’s ‘deal ‘ with Moscow’s Dmitry Medvedev before the security council vote, is not known. Yet. But nobody is waiting for the final evidence to be published before making comments on Gordon Brown’s judgement!.
Despite his ‘diplomatic’ words, alleging unanimity across ‘British politics’ [Hague’s phrase!!!] on the issue of Zimbabwe, the Tory spokesperson on world affairs William Hague has already [during today Saturday 12 July 2008] fuelled speculation into the truth of what actually happened at the G8 summit where Brown allegedly bagged the Russians' support against Mugabe.
Whatever the actual facts, the comments mill is at full spin. So much so that the KHOODEELAAR! campaign has been aware of it. Thus asking: how is it that Gordon Brown can be subjected to such intense analysis on everything else but not on CROSSRAIL?
[To be continued]
What exactly is the secret of this ‘eternal unanimity’ [my words] across ‘British politics’ [my, Muhammad HAQUE;s, as different from William Hague’s, phrase!]

Footbridge study was ‘duplicitous’

A CONTROVERSIAL £60,000 feasibility study into a footbridge that could unite communities on either side of King’s Cross station was already “weighted against the scheme” before it was launched, according to claims this week.
Network Rail ruled out the £5million footbridge last month – promised originally in plans for the railway land redevelopment – on the grounds of costs and security complications.
But campaigners argued this week that the original brief for the study was “unneces sarily complicated”.
Islington Labour councillor Paul Convery, chairman of the west area planning committee, accused Network Rail and Camden planners, who provided the brief for the feasibility study, of being “duplicitous”.
He added: “The planners didn’t look at a simple bridge which would have stretched across the station from one side to another and which is what the residents wanted.
“Instead they looked at a complicated version with access to several platforms. Obviously that would have created a security nightmare and be costly. So the whole scheme was dropped.”

* The scheme will be discussed at a meeting by the King’s Cross Rail Group on Thursday at the Blessed Sacrament Church in Copenhagen Street, Barnsbury, at 7pm.
