Screw The Law!

29-08-2007 20:02

For obvious reasons to do with their chosen occupation, prison officers aren't exactly popular amongst radical activists.

Stop corrupt Bechtel led £30bn Crossrail scheme

29-08-2007 15:18

The UK Government is using up assumption based propaganda so Ken Livingstone and the CBI can promote Crossrail, a rail scheme that will benefit the City and Canary Wharf by linking it to each other and Heathrow. The ostensibly highly wealthy and successful City wants taxpayers and the public to fund the cost of £30 billion plus operational costs and interest payments for a rail scheme that the city needs. Crossrail is presently going through Parliament and because the public have started to ask for proof of its supposed benefits, costs and the burden of taxpayers. Rogue media like the Financial Crimes, Guardian of the Establishment, the British Bullshit Corporation and ITN are involved in propaganda to promote it.
