KHOODEELAAR! No to “Big Business agenda of lies CRASSRAIL, No to City of London Lies...No to crassly conceived, crassly plugged Big Business greed merchants Crossrail hole plot...” CAMPAIGN TOLD YOU SO! That the entire British ‘mainstream media’ was LYING when it was peddling the Big business lie and promoting Crossrail... that the ‘City of London’ is as BANKRUPT as the Lehman Brothers that has just gone bankrupt today... that the Crossrail hole plot plugger Bernard Gambrill of the CLRL who appeared on the BBC’s ‘Politics Show’ on 26 March 2006 and claimed that THOUSANDS of jobs would come to the East End as a result of Crossrail.... We pointed out immediately in Match 2006 [as we have been doing in effect every day ever since] that Gambrill was LYING.... that anyone else who was promoting the CRASSrail hole plot in that way was lying and we have said and demonstrated with daily evidence to justify our rejection of the lies that they were lying knowingly and with intent to enable a conglomerate to loot the public of scarce public cash.....And there is no sign of Gambrill today, which the London EVENING nostandards STANDARD has dubbed ‘Black Monday’ [Monday 15 September 2008] when as many as 4000 employees in CANARY WHARF have been sent home ‘en masse’ [see quoted item below].... We say to GORDON BROWN and Alistair Darling and Ruth Kelly to SCRAP Crossrail hole scam NOW.... [To be continued]

Lehman's Canary Wharf staff sent home "en masse"
Stefanie Ives FinancialAdviser Published Monday , September 15, 2008
Staff at Lehman Brother's Canary Wharf office have been sent home "en masse" with only a skeleton staff retained to pack up boxes and "tie up loose ends".

A source at the investment house told FTAdviser staff had turned up to work this morning (15 September) and been told to go home as there was "nothing left to do".
He said: "Managers are just sending staff home and we have been made redundant en masse. Some people are being retained to clear up things and tie up the odd loose financial end, but there is no point hanging around and just waiting for the inevitable.
"To say it's gloomy here would be an understatement. The departments left behind are just sitting there waiting their turn".
However, a spokesman for the beleaguered investment house said: "No one has been sent home officially and there is no obligation on staff to go home.
"Obviously some people have decided to leave as they have to sort their stuff out. Things are proceeding in a very departmental way and things are being packed up."

The move comes after Lehman filed a petition for Chapter 11 in the US.
In a statement to the stock exchange, the board of directors of Lehman Brothers stated they authorised the filing of the petition in order to protect its assets and maximize value.
In response, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) said it was "working closely with the US authorities to ensure an orderly wind down of its principal UK trading subsidiary, Lehman Brothers International (Europe), which was placed into administration earlier this morning".
The regulator added: "The FSA is working with market practitioners, including the London Clearing House (LCH), to ensure the process connected with the winding down of this wholesale business is completed in an orderly manner to minimise any market disruption."
