So let us all protest against Crossrail, and stop the expansion of railway lines. We don't need public transport at all, lets all get drive in our 4x4s instead. And don't you worry about global warming, it's a myth, ExxonMobil told me so it must be true!

Opposing crass hole plan is not the same as opting for motor cars

How could 'middle finger' equate a rational analysis of the faulty crass Crossrail hole project to an opposition to the railway alternative to motor cars?

Would the preference for railways mean that there should be no homes?
There should be no space fro children?
That there should be no healthy air?

Should the cover of railways transport be used by the very Big Business forces that have also the most ton gain and do gain from promoting motor cars/

What is at stake in the East End is that there is no need for an expansion of Crossrail into the area. There are more than enough transport links there already.

There is more than adequate access to the rest of London by public transport.

There is no economic need fro a hole to be dug under the Hanbury Street or the Princelet Street and there most certainly is no need for the dust the noise the rubbish to be borough out on to the ground from under the ground and to be ferried through the streets in the Brick lane London e1 area.

That is what the campaign is about. Not against rational and economically viable and necessary railway alternative to cars in an appropriate location and environment and time.
