K&C Tory Councillors will not act against K&C Tory Council. For all their feigned injury at being accused of social cleansing that is precisely what they are intent upon. Polite dialogue will not save you. They are stabbing you in the back and selling you down the river. Strike back and kick 'em where it hurts.

In any other country this would be called what it is: "corruption"; and those perpetrating it corrupt and beneath contempt.

Are they willing to stand up for their residents, many of whom voted them in, or not? <br /><br />It's pretty clear what the Council leadership from Nick and Rock down want do do - "regenerate" at all costs. But what do the three Ward Councillors think? They must surely be capable of independent thought. Or are they merely blue-rinse sheep troughing on their allowances and incapable of anything other than following the party line?Lemonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-61499006826082593912014-11-03T09:44:28.781+00:002014-11-03T09:44:28.781+00:00Rock F-M attended all the community meetings with ...Rock F-M attended all the community meetings with residents to discuss and "consult" on the destruction of their homes. He reported back to the Council that everyone was "very happy". This begs the question whether he told the hapless social rented tenants that they will be shipped off to live in cheaper places, maybe out of the borough - and if they have any adult children as part of their household, these adults will not be rehoused but can apply to be deemed "homeless", so that they can be rehomed far out of the borough, in the volatile private sector, where they will have no security of tenure and no protection from disrepair or massive rent increases. If only Annie Redmile had read the small print a bit earlier - like the Sutton residents of Chelsea.

In their infinite wisdom, the myopic, cloth-eared clots at English Heritage have lamely failed to list that still-viable, cultural and economic icon of British industrial heritage, Earl's Court, shanghaied (pun intended) by the developers and their Town Hall poodles, sold to any overseas speculator with a few million in loose change to wager in the K&C Casino.
