Boris Johnson cannot have read the hundreds of objections lodged against Crossrail by residents and communities from across the East End and even from Mayfair in central London.
Equally, he cannot have read the detailed report authored by the Rod Eddington ‘inquiry’ appointed by Gordon Brown into the UK transport economics.
Even the USA Business news outlet FORBES pointed out that EDDINGTON did NOT endorse CrossRail.
This is why Boris Johnson must stop making utterances expressing support for Crossrail which is a seriously flawed project with no demand in the economic for it. There most certainly is none for Crossrail in the East End of London. Nor in Mayfair.
There is no justification for committing £Billions from the UK Treasury to such a dubious scheme whose only backers have been the City of London and certain Big Business outfits. Crossrail has been one of two promotional topics used by a scheming Ken Livingstone to keep his image and ego permanently the headlines.
Livingstone is not a democrat. far less one with any evidence of showing genuine respect communities.
People are not clamoring for Crossrail.
The City of London propagandists are.
And their chief tout for the time being Ken Livingstone.
Boris Johnson cannot be seriously expecting to dent Livingstone’s significant current edge by aping him on such a disastrous course!
Boris Johnson has got to tell the truth. Not TOE the path of the corrupter of London.
