There have been reports about the UK Big Business bosses pocketing £Billions in bonus alone.
These reports are coming out at a time when other indicators show that unless the capitalist tendency is halted, the country will find itself in serious social mess.

But there is no sign that one of the UK media's most uncritically promoted propaganda tools for Big Business grabbing, the so-called former Red Ken Livingstone, is being held to account or being asked to justify his crazy promotion of yet another Big Business plots - the Crossrail construction scheme.

There is no sign that the alleged challenger to the 'Undone mayor' Ken Livingstone, the Tory Boris Johnson has got it. Without showing any evidence of understanding what the transport needs of London are and how to meet them within the capacity of the economy, Johnson has 'echoed' Livingstone and backed the seriously flawed Crossrail.

None of the main parties has done anything to show that they care at al where £Billions of public money goes.

They don’t seem concerned that several Greenwich Millennium Dome-sized wastes of public money will take place under the present Crossrail scheme [as it is in the 'Crossrail Bill' in the UK House of Commons].

There has been no scrutiny of the £Billions of Crossrail costs being touted to be met by the UK Treasury in the context of the increasing and persistent inequality and poverty that are happening in the UK.
