Blakeman’s motion at the last meeting might have revealed all those councillors whose household incomes come from family trusts in offshore places like the British Virgin Islands. Remember, it was former Cllr Phelps’s defence that his financial affairs were not open to public scrutiny because he had been advised to put his assets into a BVI property company – away from the prying eyes of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, etc. How many other councillors who have had influence over the years on our planning policies have now got similar such accounts squirreled away from public scrutiny? And why did they vote against the Labour Group’s motion asking for a voluntary register of these interests? And if they have these accounts, shouldn’t they have declared an interest before voting against this motion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-68425229506219574452013-05-12T18:21:48.778+01:002013-05-12T18:21:48.778+01:00There are more and more streets and squares within...There are more and more streets and squares within Kensington and Chelsea where the social cleansing has clearly happened. Vast amounts of houses boarded and locked up whilst their owners jet around the place. <br /><br />Already the cleansing in the north of the Borough has started to happen. Suddenly streets that have been left for years are being resurfaced, Old Olive trees (not cheap) have recently been planted beneath flats on Oxford Gardens certainly not because of the kindness of the Borough, its part of their bigger plan. <br /><br />Golborne Road and Portobello Road are loosing their markets to pop up shops and restaurants with every second shop a coffee shop for people to use their apple computers, ignore people and leave their houses empty! <br /><br />The very thing these supposedly 'rich' people crave yet stamp out by their very non 'presence' is 'real life and soul of Kensington. <br /><br />It is fast becoming derelict of real people and the Councillors are responsible for allowing this to happen. <br /><br />To think that NPB will stop this from happening is very naive he after all funds the opera at any cost.

Each year thousands of local people are sacrificed to the vast sums of hot, foreign cash seeking a so-called safe haven. Profiteering is rife at the expense of not just the poorest, but everyone deemed to be in the way. <br /><br />There are close and very complex connections between the money and the Council. Rather than acting to protect it's citizens, Hornton Street emerges as the willing agent of social cleansing.

It is not just the working classes being expelled from the north, the squeezed middle have already gone and in the centre and south of the borough the merely rich are being driven out by the mega-rich. Protesting at Holland Park Opera with bells, whistles and football rattles might make people feel a bit better but it can’t stop this juggernaut.
