KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! BAA £2130M for ‘Crossrail’ was dishonest, a sham...

2030 GMT London Saturday 8 November 2008: Muhammad Haque comments on the anti-Heathrow Third Runaway campaign report published by Richmond and Twickenham Times today, "Your report confirms the analysis that KHOODEELAAR! the campaign against Crossrail scam has been publishing for the past almost 5 years. That Crossrail is not the main transport priority in and around London. That the EXISTING transport infrastructure and services warrant urgent attention. That there has been NO evidence of public demand for any of it. That EVEN Gordon Brown’s own expert [as he considered Rod Eddington to be] reported in the Eddington Study on the future of the railway ‘service’s NO evidence for Crossrail. Indeed, as Channel 4 news expressly pointed out at the beginning of October 2007...Eddington had ADVISED [Gordon Brown as the UK Finance Minister at the time of his report] AGAINST Crossrail. So what is the £16 Billion plus being spent on Crossrail for? Ken Livingstone acted as the propagandist in chief for the Big Business lobby pressing the UK Govt to fork out £ Billions under covers of transport. But even Livingstone failed to find ANY mentionable support in the UK public for Crossrail..In their reports on the formal publication of the Eddington Study, ALL of ‘Fleet Street’ and the BBC carried unfounded hype for Crossrail. The only major media organisation [and not a British one at all! ] that got the EDDINGTON REPORT right on the facts and published the substance accordingly was the US media group Forbes. They accurately reported that Eddington HAD not endorsed Crossrail. Now, around the alleged £230 contribution by BAA, ALL of Fleet Street has again been publishing untruths and hypes. The question is: do these media, as typified by the London EVENING STANDARD and the Guardian as among the most zealous spinners for Crossrail, have any senses of editorial responsibility at all? We are beginning to get sued to the BBC publishing more than one apology for the blunders that the Corporation indulges in at the expense of the licence-payers. But the newspapers who claim that they are against the greedy bakers who have brought about the current financial crisis, must show that THEY are not in hock to the lobby that wants £16 Billion of UK public money to be wasted. The same media outfits have an even bigger duty to ask why the Crossrail Bill was not allowed to be debated by the ‘Select Committees’ in BOTH Houses. Who had pulled the strings and when will the truth be ‘conceded’ by the ‘free thinking’ democracy-backing British media? After the looters who are poised to pocket £Billions under Contracts in the name of Crossrail have bolted? By©Muhammad Haque 2005 Hrs GMT London Saturday 8 November 2008

The Daily Telegraph front 25 March 2008

'Muhammad Haque ethical commentary: At 2040 Hrs GMT London Tuesday 25 March 2008: Tories to end town hall grip on failing schools’! Is typical Daily Telegraph lying. With their corrupt and racist coverage and misreporting on inner cities crime creation centres - that are Councils-controlled schools, the Daily Telegraph as well as their co-lying education experts are as much to blame as any Blairing counterparts. The lot of them has been [and have been] lying to the public about the scandal that is the 'British schooling system'. It is corrupt to the core. And the reason why it is so is down to the fact that 'enlightened' 'quality' newspapers typified by the Crook Conrad Black-ed Daily Telegraph have been assuming that they somehow have a morally high position. They don't when they are deep in it with the rest of their rival crooks and fabricators....
