Guarantee costs and prove likely harm and benefits for rail and air - Brown

NO TO CROSSRAIL - A BANKRUPT IDEA FOR A BANKRUPT SCHEME | 30.08.2007 12:26 | Ecology | London

A new world is emerging: Ken Livingstone and Gordon Brown - Guarantee that your corrupt and harmful schemes for Crossrail and airport expansion will not cost taxpayers in excess of assumption based figures such as £10billion and prove they will not cause unnecessary harm to people and their homelife. Crossrail is backed by Adrian Montague, Bechtel the City, fat Digby Jones, the Labour cronies and corrupt London Council's - where do we begin Hackney, Tower Hamlets ...

The beginning of new projects such as the Millennium Dome, the Olympics, hospital PFI and the National Identity scheme and now Crossrail have one thing in common.

The Government mostly Labour launch into a big PR campaign to force the public to adopt a scheme with false information fed to an ever compliant press. There is no evidence just puff for information that has been written up on the bag of a fag packet.
Then oddly enough there is an admission it is all wrong.
Taxpayers are asked to pay much more and carry on paying it as they are usually tied into some 30-year deal - euphemism for the rich living off the poor
The National Audit Commission say it is all very bad, taxpayers money has been abused and it should never happen again

It never happens for the same project but guess what the same old players start again with a new project. Meanwhile social and environmental disintegration continues because what these people do not want are communities to fight and oppose these corrupt practices as one united force.

Proof about the costs
Guarantee any cost overruns are paid for by the aforementioned corrupt companies - in addition, please add Balfour Beatty, Skanska, BAE, Metronet etc you get the point
Proper assessment of likely environmental impact before any permission to use public monies including who to and what warmongering BAE are selling
Proper assessment if work was carried out according to this assessment

Hard - No but not if you are planning to rip taxpayers off - hence why we have Gordon Brown and war criminal Tony Blair before him.
