Today’s Mail on Sunday [London, Sunday 3 September 2006] criticizes the Millennium Dome Degeneration. Why not include Crossrail?


In its editorial ‘Casino saga that would shame a backstreet bookie’ the Mail on Sunday accurately derides Blaired self-seeker Charlie Falconer for making an untrue promise about the creation of 2000 jobs as a result of the sale of the Dome to USA conglomerate AEG.

It also says that the jobs that are available are “low –paid tasks filled not by a local workforce, but Eastern Europeans working illegally, using forged National Insurance numbers.”

It also mentions the role of the local Greenwich council, whish has been playing second fiddle to the AEG project.

The Mail on Sunday lists other sleazy and unethical goings on which include the questionable and cronying ebjavuour of ‘professor’ Stephen Crow of the quango ‘Casino Advisory Panel’.

Finally for this comment, the Mail on Sunday accurately states that there has never been a public demand for the casinos. “The evidence is that they are a malign influence on those who can least afford to gamble.”

The it says “For a Labour Government, whose roost lie in defending the most vulnerable, this obsession with foreign gaming entrepreneurs is distasteful’


What an amazing discovery by the Mail on Sunday!


For all of the past 9 years, the agitation against the poor and for more and more right wing policies and reactionary conduct has come from no other quarter than the publishers of the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail and the London EVENING STANDARD. Not in quite the extensive way that this group has carried on with the Camapgn.

And over the same period, the Group ha snot published a single report or comment that has accommodated, let alone given full space to, a sing elk organisation or community in any part of London, Greenwich included.

Unless the Blaring behaviour can be used to show the Far Right tendency in good light.

The Mail on Sunday's use of the phrase ‘a Labour Government’ is grossly inaccurate and misleading.

It is under the Blair regime that everything that ‘a Labour [in the pre-Blair era]’ anything stood for has been annihilated, discredited. And the Mail group has been a constant unethical, immoral reactionary spur and promoter of those reactionary anti-social demolition jobs.

Crossrail is one of those assaults in the 'vulnerable’.

But significantly the Mail on Sunday and the Daily mail have been very silent on the adverse effects of the Crossrail assaults on the East End of London.
