Very good point so why has he done naff all about it in the last 9
years. He waits until he is sodding off then says that something must
be done. Just like all the other nulabour failures.


"the City and the government must work together" - sounds to me like code
for "the City must put up more money".

I seem to remember the self same arguement to fund the Jubilee Line
ext. Without it Docklands was not viable. Did businesses actually ever
put any money into it?
