It's so very easy to say "that's top of the list" isn't it -
and it does so please people when you say it...


Now that Crossrail is 'a done deal' (fingers crossed!), Boris would be a
fool NOT to add another high profile project to his shiopping basket ...

We have to remember that he IS a fool. No idea about public finances,
cancelled CRT, CT expansion, DLR expansion etc and cancelled a deal that
benefitted both Londoners and Venezuelans. He also changed the peak ticket
times messing up a great set up royally.
He should also consider a bond issue to pay for the projects especially at a
time like this when there's precious little work to go around and doing
things at this time means that the labour is readilly available and that it
will help in the up-turn at the end of the receesion when we have better
infrastructure.
