The FT refuses to publish any community opposition to Big Business plans, which is always being portrayed as being sensitive to the needs of the public. This is the same with the FT’s refusal to publish evidence of how the CrossRail hole plan would destroy entire communities along the proposed route. The FT today has published yet another plug for Big Business claiming that they are discussing ways of funding CrossRail. This is news to the public. Big Business wants the public purse top pay for CrossRail wile the Big conglomerates pocket the main construction cash.

Khoodeelaar today has responded to the FT's promotion of the CrossRail myth via Jo valentine's letter

In a letter sent to Jo Valentine at London First, Khoodeelaar! No to CrossRail hole campaign organiser Muhammad Haque has asked for evidence to support the claim for Business.
He has asked 'Baroness' Jo Valentine to ”cite accessible published documentary evidence or other comparable evidence that can be objectively verified, bearing in mind the fact that the consistent pressure from Business has been for the PUBLIC sector to fund the Crossrail scheme. And that the main ‘motivation’ has been and remains for ‘Business’ to make profit at the expense of the public purse. That is why the CrossRail Bill is called CRASS-rail Bill, as it contains no evidence to support the key plugs made for it by those who have promoted it over the past many years."
