The City and the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone want Londoners to fund, pay the operational costs and the interest for the £30 bn Crossrail scheme. However, ordinary Londoners have had enough and can see through the poorly designed scheme.
Due to the fear that the abuse of taxpayers money is becoming too well-known. A City thinktank funded by Lord Sainsbury, the man who wanted to force genetic modification on the public through his Government post. Knighted for this service of abuse. The propaganda is the City will pay - the smallprint is it will be ringfenced and only for a specific time period. There is no such protection for taxpayers. Kindly the City and the Mayor have been offering taxpayers money to convince Brown it is a goer.
Reputable experts who built the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the Jubilee Line compare Crossrail to planning a garden shed being given a few hints about Crossrail, I started to find out some interesting things. Others like Arup question the Crossrail scheme.

The petition hearings for Crossrail show how little democracy there is because the Labour run Select Committee really do not want the Crossrail facts to come out in the open.

Even the FT has been looking at the figures of Crossrail and even Financial Crimes find them wanting ... very wanting ... not just another Olympics but they compare it to Eurotunnel...Indeed, the FT say: a Financial Times report that “the project’s backers are likely to keep cost projections as low as possible to secure approval”.
Crossrail will be so bad for London, it will be killed and the dodgy politicians who put their heads above the parapet for Kiley and Ken will pay" Yes, they wil pay.
Livingstone - "We need this Crossrail to be built"
Mr Livingstone has a great track record for wasting taxpayers money on crap transport programmes - lets look at the tram, the first endeavour for the Millennium Bridge.

Read this url to find out more why Crossrail is a bad idea http://www.Superlink.co.ukIts either him or his transport advisors.
Read between the lines of the url for the Mayor below and readers will see the corrupt reasons why the Mayor supports Crossrail and then try and find any mention of how he intends to protect taxpayers contribution - There is no protection because there is no intention to protect taxpayers. Do we see a knighthood? Crossrail is a cash cow waiting for its birth and everlasting final party.

Crossrail is not public transport - It is a poor and expensive rail scheme that only benefits the City and yet it is being described as a public transport. The richest part of London wants the poorest parts of London to subsidise a scheme that it is primarily for their benefit. Londoners say no to Crossrail
Can anyone provide proof and facts that Crossrail will be good for London outside of the City and Canary Wharf and not bad for taxpayers?
Thanks from notocrossrail
