28 years of reporting in defence of the inner cities East End of London and all that this entails Like exposing the BBC’s continuing lying..... The BBC is broadcasting a lie for Crossrail this morning The utterances of Andrew Adonis that CRASSrail will ‘guarantee’ 30,000 jobs is contradicted and exposed by the rest of his idiotic utterance. He then says CRASSrail will create that many jobs./.. Now as if that were not stupid enough, he says over 9 years...... which is 3333.3 persons per year......CONTRAST that with this morning’s news. carried in the MURDOCH SUN that one bank is going to sack 20000 employees.....Multioply that with the numbers of others who are set to sack ... and then multiply that over by the number of years... and you can see how stupid and how dishonest ADONIS is being [To be continued]

KHOODEELAAR! updating questions on Crossrail funding on the day of Darling's appearance allegedly to show his reliability [291]
KHOODEELAAR! updating questions on Crossrail funding on the day of Darling's appearance allegedly to show his reliability [291]
This [below] is what the ECONOMIST said in September 2008
"
The final option is to divert cash from other projects. One possible sacrifice is Crossrail, a £16 billion scheme to link the east and west of the city with a new rail line that was given the go-ahead last year. Boris Johnson, London’s newly installed mayor, is opposed to the idea, saying in July that Crossrail and the Tube upgrade are “co-equal” priorities. But financially the prospect is tempting: Tony Travers, an economist at the London School of Economics, points out that a business tax designed to pay for Crossrail is not ring-fenced and could be diverted for a few years to plug the funding gap in the Tube upgrade. But delaying Crossrail yet again would be embarrassing too: it was first proposed in 1989 and its frequent postponements have become a running joke.
