London fare rises pay for city rail scheme Crossrail - Mayors new Olympic tax

08-09-2008 17:18

The present Mayor of London Boris Johnson may be trying to blame previous Mayor Livingstone but the fare rises is down to the fact that he is doing the bidding of the City and commuters not Londoners. Crossrail is a scheme that will benefit the City and Canary Wharf and commuters coming into London and yet Londoners will be left paying for it both in cost and harm. The City thinks ordinary Londoners should pay for it. The Mayor agrees but do the people? If you do not think your fares should increase to pay for a rail scheme that will benefit the richest part of London, find out more about the Crossrail scheme and find out if your local politician supports it? London never wanted the Olympics and got it thanks to the companies who want it but why should the public pay for it. Below is how much you have been signed to pay for in fares forever thanks to Mayor Boris Johnson and Livingstone, both of these idiots have left Londoners to underwrite Crossrail so if anything goes wrong, you as a taxpayer are liable. The Mayor has not told you how much your taxes will go up by ...

CUBA: Besieged by hurricanes

08-09-2008 11:03

We had hardly recovered from the emotional impact and material damages caused by the unexpectedly strong winds of hurricane Gustav on the Isla de la Juventud and Pinar del Rio, when news were received of sea floods caused by Hanna. Then, the worst news of all: that the very intense hurricane Ike, turning southwest under pressure from a strong anti-hurricane system located north of its course, would strike heavily over 625 miles throughout the national territory.

Svetlana and Tatjana
The Kris Family fled persecution in Croatia after the 90's war. They sought refuge in the UK where they believed they would be able to rebuild a normal family life. Today, the Home Office wants to deport them to Croatia where they still harbour the memories of the persecution they encountered and have no basis to live a normal family life.
