The London FT is this week leading the lobby for globalizing conglomerates who are set to push Gordon Brown into a corner so they can extract the loot of £20 Billion which they can pocket under the guise of the Crossrail hole plot in London. But Gordon Brown must not collude with them and should in fact put a halt to Crossrail now. It has already wasted more than £500million of public money in consultants fees and promotions.

The City of London interests colluding with Big Business multinationals constitute the country’s bigger threats to the environment, to the economy and to the future of society.

For these forces are also the ones that contribute in the biggest measure to the causing of climate contamination, pollution and destruction.

They are NEVER the ones to call for the overdue improvement in the quality of education and training for the people.

They not only want to maintain discrimination and disparity between groups of people and often against highly deserving individuals but these forces and agencies of GREED are also the forces to conceal the facts of the work being done by ordinary people who contribute the most to the protection of the environment and consequently and simultaneously to the creation of reasonable and environment friendly economy.

The Big multinational globalizing conglomerates defy all ethical standards and obligations and they do so as they also defy and flout democratic tendencies and suppress efforts to protect the quality of the environment.

This is true of the propagandists for the Big Business interests.
Take the FT – the London Financial Times – which is engaged this week [Monday 18 June 2007 -] in the crazy lobby on behalf of Big Business top get the £multi-Billion public subsidy under the covers of the London Crossrail.

In their craze the FT have devoted space, time and frequency of positive publicity to the Crossrail hole Bill [the 'Crossrail Bill’, now in the UK House of Commons] in a way that would be completely unthinkable and unacceptable if the FT’s editors were a operating an agenda to tell the truth about Crossrail or about any similar, other project which they are plugging as a tool for Big Business getting its hand on the Multi£Billion ‘investment’ from the UK public purse.

The craziness being shown this week by the FT for the Crossrail hole plot is in the fact that they are peddling a blatant lobby line for Big Business and are doing so without introducing a single iota of news. That is, there is nothing new in what they are saying. What they are saying is old.

And worse.

Far worse.


They are suppressing all evidence of the environmental damage that the plan will cause.

They are suppressing all evidence of the economic problems that the Crossrail plot will cause.

The FT are not publishing the evidence they know exists- and the evidence to which their attention has been drawn so many times in the past year or so - of degeneration that ‘Big Sized’ adventures and scams have cause.

They ought to have shown the actual waste of public money and resource that the Millennium Dome cause.

They ought to be publishing the costs and the legacy of internationally circulating disaster that the London 2012 I Olympics Hams hosting has become.

|They are putting words into the mouth of Gordon Brown and are doing so in a brazenly immoral and doesn’t way.

They are creating a scenario that t is based in a void and on a deliberate decision to leave out the facts of the real transport crises in the UK generally and in the South East off England in particular.

They are following the agenda that has been agreed between the City of London interest and their main tout as mayor of London now, Ken Livingstone.

Livingstone floated the ‘get Gordon Brown in a corner about London and he will agree for the Treasury to bankroll the Big Business plot to loot the public of the £20+Billion that they are conspiring to rob in the name of Crossrail.

They floated that line a few months back when they employed the services of the academic fraudster Tony Travers [ at the ‘London School of Commons and political Science’] and a number of very sleazy small time careerists. They then staged their crazy demand o via the Crossrail hole plot-backing London Evening Standard.

In none of these peddling has either the FT or the London EVENING STANDARD or their main source Ken Livingstone has shown they are accountable to the people generally. Or to those people whose lives livelihood and futures they are plotting to trample on in their craze to bulldoze the uneconomic and the wasteful Crossrail plot.
