In this review of the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign against Crossrail in 2008 and the evaluation and assessment of the UK media in promoting the ‘case’ of Big Business craving even more £Billions from the ordinary UK population, I am taking a look at some of the persistent symbols of the ailment that afflicts the over-hyped ‘British media’..

Contrary to the hype and the marketing, the British media is as corrupt, as ignorant, and as undemocratic and anti-democracy as it ever was…It is because of these reasons that a community or a city or a population cannot rest assured of any assurance that any part of the mainstream British media may proffer about its being vigilant.......

The community, the people must remain alert as much about the role of the position holders in the central state as much as in the local and the regional states… And the people must treat the media for what it is in Britain: an adjunct of the state and the power-holding minority that is allowed to carry on without having to submit to any democratic scrutiny [inside the elected chambers ands halls] or media accountability…….


Crass is not far from corrupt. In fact, the two words and the concepts they denote are very similar.

In the context of ‘Crossrail’, 'crass' and 'corrupt' are easily interchangeable.

The Rupert Murdoch-ed London Times has over the past 14 months or so , published a number of my comments on the Times online web site.

But more often than not those items have been published under conditions of undue resistance by the ‘editors’. employed in the Murdoch organisation. They have resisted the comments and have only published them, in the majority of the cases, following repeated de facto demands for them to justify suppressing them. Or demands made to them to explain what ethics or morality or evidence, IF ANY, they were following in their intention to violate the right to make perfectly valid comments on the item concerned AS PUBLIHSED by them.

Several of those have NOT been directly about CRASSrail. But the ones that the Rupert Murdoch-ed Times online has persisted in suppressing have related to the core of the corruptly contrived Crossrail scam.

The most representative instance has been around the Murdoch Times’ persistent refusal to publish ANY comment whatever from anybody at all about their quite inelegant, embarrassing and low level sales-pitch for and promotion of Michael Snyder.


Now, Snyder is and has been at the very centre of the corrupt Big Business propaganda and operational enterprise based in the City of London peddling the fabrications designed to make Crossrail appear ‘vital for London’.

In the earlier part of 2008, the Times business interests promoter with supplicatory attitude to the City of London, ran a piece that reads like a CV for Michael Snyder..

That piece is an item of evidence for any ethical and even general study of the corruption of the UK media generally and of the Times [to the extent that it could still be corrupted after Murdoch seized control of the Times titles] …

I knew, from the contents of the plug piece for Snyder and from the Times’ persistence in refusing to publish any factual comments about Snyder that that plug was in aid of something …..That it had to be part of something other than just a plug in a newspaper and its web site..,. like a Knighthood for Snyder…

And lo and behold, they did manage to obtain ‘delivery’ of a knighthood for Snyder whom they had painted as an awesome influence for Crossrail….

That Times plug for Snyder was as corrupt, as untrue and untruthful as any plug that the City of London has ever made about itself being in any way socially responsible….

Below is the first response by MUHAMMAD HAQUE:


"CRASS arithmetic indeed. £150 million, EVEN IF ACTUALLY DELIVERED, is NOT a significant amount in a scam that will cost over 16 thousand million pounds at December 2008 prices. Most of the cost will be borne by ordinary people paying extra taxes. Also, the 'local' Tower Hamlets Council has given planning permission in effect for property speculation. And land acquisition. This is NOT wealth creation."
