The FT refuses to publish any community opposition to Big Business plans, which is always being portrayed as being sensitive to the needs of the public. This is the same with the FT’s refusal to publish evidence of how the CrossRail hole plan would destroy entire communities along the proposed route. The FT today has published yet another plug for Big Business claiming that they are discussing ways of funding CrossRail. This is news to the public.

ride of silence manchester tomorrw (wednesday) from velodrome 7pm.Each participant should wear a black armband, or a red armband if they have been injured themselves.
Riders should be silent as far as possible. It isn’t a protest in the
traditional sense: there will be no banners or slogans.
it is a ride to remember and to think and not to be outwardly angry but instead to let our silence and our numbers have the required effect.
"The Ride Of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no
faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There is no
brochure, no sponsors, no registration fees and no t-shirt. The ride,
which is being held during Bike Safety month (U.S), aims to raise theawareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to showrespect for those who have been killed or injured."
