CRASS talk, crass hype, CRASS rail... KHOODEELAAR! updating the evidence of the lies that peddlers of London Crossrail have been telling for years [233]
KHOODEELAAR! Told you so! Look at the texts, accessed from a still active web site in the past 10 minutes, which published this breathtakingly stupid plug for CRASSrail... It is the sort of language that Ken Livingstone used and the language that Boris Johnson has begun to use in peddling the idiotic 'benefits' of Crossrail.... ":Crossrail: Crossrail has recently got the go-head - a White Paper is planned to be submitted in March 2005 for Government consideration with regarding to financing. It seems about 80% certain now that the rail link will be built - even if the London Olympic bid fails to secure the games. Of particular note is that Tottenham Court Road will be on the intersection of Line 1 and Line 2 - and will come a serious transport hub. This part of London, on a visit last week - is undergoing quite some re-generation. Western parts of Holborn and the eastern end of Oxford Street should show considerable improvements once these lines are openned" [To be continued]

Crossrail: Crossrail has recently got the go-head - a White Paper is planned to be submitted in March 2005 for Government consideration with regarding to financing. It seems about 80% certain now that the rail link will be built - even if the London Olympic bid fails to secure the games. Of particular note is that Tottenham Court Road will be on the intersection of Line 1 and Line 2 - and will come a serious transport hub. This part of London, on a visit last week - is undergoing quite some re-generation. Western parts of Holborn and the eastern end of Oxford Street should show considerable improvements once these lines are openned.
Hayes & Harringdon is also worth a look - this area is close to Heathrow (Terminal 5 employment and new offices/commercial) and at the branch intersection o the Heathrow line on Line 1. Rail travel to central London will improve considerably, and the fact this subsub is in the middle of the western High-tech M4 corridor is a further bonus. Maidenhead at the end of Line 1 is also worth considering for similar reasons - this town is quite large, economically buoyant and has good access towards the West (West Country, Reading) and east (Crossrail providing direct trains to the City, West End, Docklands and Stratford etc).
Abbey Wood on the SE line extension would undoubtedly see big re-generation since this area is one of the cheapest places in London at present. Ilford, which is currently re-generating and is an importnat East London regional centre - would do will from Crossrail.
Finally, for all those doubting Thomas's that believe there will be a property price crash in London - forget it ! With 900,000 people due to arrive in the next 10 years, very little building, and smaller households, only a big increase in unemployment (unlikely) or interest rates (not likely) could trigger a significant fall. London has and will remain a ket services/financial international hub and a magnet for foreign investment - purchase of low prices rental property in re-generating areas of London seems most prudent!

KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That the Ca-Marooned Conservatives are ‘struggling’ on the economy! No wonder! They have been APING Crossrail-Brown [232]
1605 Hrs GMT London Sunday 9 November 2008:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO! That the Ca-Marooned Conservatives are ‘struggling’ on the economy! No wonder! Especially as they have been APING Gordon Brown.... They have not shown independence of thought. If anything, they are likely to suffer electorally unless they can show that they are no longer the part of the looting bankers, assorted City of London parasite merchants and millionaires, big business and the like... They could make a start to establish credibility by behaving in a democratically accountable way.... They could show that they are respectful of democracy. That they want to see evidence that justifies £Billions of public money for London Crossrail... But that would be too much to expect from the Tories. Especially as their ‘most powerful Tory’, Boris Johnson, has shown he is just as servile to Big Business Crossrail as Ken Livingstone was whilst in post and before losing to Johnson on 1 May 20 [To be continued]

LONDON (Reuters) - The Conservatives are well ahead ofLabour in opinion polls, a survey published on Sunday showed, but they are struggling to convince voters about their ability to handle the economy.
An ICM poll for The Sunday Telegraph newspaper put support for the Conservative Party at 43 percent, unchanged from September. Support for the Labour Party was at 30 percent.
If the figures were repeated in a general election, due by mid-2010, the Conservatives would win with a clear majority.
But the opposition has yet to convince voters it is the best party to handle an economic downturn.
Some 40 percent of voters surveyed by ICM chose Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his finance minister, Alistair Darling, when asked who they most trusted to steer them through the economic downturn, against 38 percent for the Conservatives.
Just months ago, some Labour members openly questioned Brown's leadership after the party lost a series of elections for parliamentary seats and fell behind in the polls.
But Brown's handling of the global financial crisis has lifted his standing within his party, and with voters, despite economists' warnings that Britain is on the brink of recession.
On Friday, Labour scored a surprise win in a Scottish election for a parliamentary seat left vacant by the sitting politician's death. The constituency, Glenrothes, was next door to Brown's own and he personally campaigned there. Continued...
