Olympic Budget scandal is minute compared to Crossrail

Say No to abusing taxpayers money with Crossrail | 11.09.2007 15:45

The City backed Crossrail scheme which is reported in the corporate press and by Government department's as costing £10-15 billion will in fact cost more than £30 billion and taxpayers will also be expected to underwrite the scheme, service the debt interest and Mr Livingstone has also kindly offered to raise fares so the poorest people of London and commuters can subsidise a rail scheme that will primarily benefit the City and Canary Wharf - yes you guessed it the richest part of London. Write down the names of any MPs who say Crossrail is a good idea. Name and shame is about to arrive in Westminster.

The Crossrail scheme will cost so much money according to one article that the people of London and taxpayers will be left with a scheme that can only be compared with Eurotunnel. The Eurotunnel project has cost billions and is still in debt and this is the legacy the City and Canary Wharf with the help of the Government want to leave taxpayers.
