When and why did ED become so poncey?

If we are going for minimal state intervention, let me get a few AK47's and round up my mates and we'll start the land/property/wealth distribution programme straight away. Or are you just talking about minimum state intervention re economics and maxiumum state intervention re chavs with weapons?

I can only agree with 5) disagree with 4) gona see about the rest wen I hav time

I was brought up on and love Marmite and my Jamaican bf thinks it's disgusting. He says it's typically 'English' but my St. Lucian friend was also brought up on it. Is it mostly an English thing, or are there any of you guys from far flung places that also grew up with Marmite?

Yep them rich tw@ts don't get rich by giving it away, prefer hanging wiv the chavs any day

Not if I can help it - so I must admit I'm talking out of my ar*e a bit, but I still think that if there was no reduction for single people and no reduction for second homes it would be fairer. -

No it's not. It's a person tax that takes account of the value of a property. So If I live alone in a mansion I pay a higher tax than if I live in a squalid bedsit but if I get a friend to live with me in my squalid bedsit, they too have to pay a tax, even though the squalid bedsit has not got any bigger and I don't own it. I could have 5 mates in there to help me with my rent, and between us we would probably be paying more in an overcrowded squalid bedsit none of us own, than the rich tw@t in the mansion. Also if I was the mansion owner, and I wanted a place in the city so I don't have to commute then I could choose which place I call my permanent residence (the lower council tax area in the country no doubt) and after driving the social cleansing to build my city pad, I would also pay less council tax than my neighbours cos it wouldn't be fair to make me pay two, or three or four lots of council tax for all the places I own, now would it? -

Or the council could be allowed to spend the money collected on rents and council house sales on their housing stock for a f%&?*&g change. The real support in housing is actually going to the private sector by funding local authorities through the council tax, instead of rates attached to the value of residential properties and discounts for second homes. And see above for the landlord rip off re hostels -

Ultraconsultancy - it's even worse for people who are here and not allowed to work or get any benefits because of their immigration or asylum status, they still need to eat, and are ruthlessly exploited by unscrupulous bosses earning as little as ?20 per day for 10 - 12 hours. -

The law is a funny thing. If you have rights but not enough money to pay to take your boss to court, or a union to do it for you, then you in reality do not have those rights. -

When I was living in Elephant & Castle, I was fighting to stop the council from selling off the few green bits to developers for yuppie flats. The council said that it was because the Heygate and Aylsbury residents needed re-housing and the developers would provide 30% as 'affordable' units (not all of them actually did this and are upset planning permission for further developments was not granted!). At the time I asked why, the green leafy bits of Dulwich couldn't be bricked up, instead of the tiny patches of green our kids played on. The cause of the immigration is the same as the cause of our lack of affordable housing. The elite class, i.e monarchy, heads of multi-national corporations, land developers and their puppets in Government treat us all as dispensable cogs in their machine. The working class were seen as proud and hardworking, while they needed our labour. When they found it cheaper to get their labour intensive work done abroad they didn't even wave goodbye. We then became surplus to requirements, and were told that if we didn't want to join the service industries (including the intellectual service industries such as law) then we should all be ASBO'd and demonised! The city types were seen as virtuous, despite making money from the sweat of other people's brows, and the working class were mocked and called chavs for not 'keeping up'. Some solutions: Land reform - everyone gets a bit and people with more than they need get taxed on it. Bring back local rates attached to the price of your house, with no discounts for second homes. If you have one in the country and one on my bloody (old) estate, you pay twice. Make the heads of corporations personally liable for the actions of the corporation instead of letting them hide behind the corporations legal personality - at the moment it is considered a legal entity but can only be fined, not imprisoned. Make donations to political parties illegal, and only allow them to charge for membership, which must be the same for every party! re-engage the disengaged in politics by decentralising power and giving them a real say on what happens in their area. Also change the policy on council housing. At the moment central government takes all rents and gives the council back a proportion of them. They do not allow the council to use capital receipts from house sales to build more council properties and they are not allowed to borrow to build them. We need to create a level playing field with housing associations (who get grants from central govt from the council rents money collected) and allow council's to meet their statutory duty. We also need to stop landlords being able to provide a bowl of cornflakes in the morning for their tenants, calling it a hostel and then charging up to ?370 per week per tenant per room, paid for from housing benefit, which forces the tenant to remain on benefits cos they would have to pay the rent if they got a job (I doubt even you guys could pay that much rent a week)! -

The problem is that mainstream history, is the history of the victor, and in the cases of the African slave trade and colonisation, a western view of the history of that time, may not be as accurate as we would like to believe. The bottom line is that the descendants of the victims of the slave trade are on the whole still living in poverty, while the descendants of the perpetrators of the slave trade are still living in mansions. This was a crime against humanity, as was a lot of what happened under colonisation as late as the 1950's, so we should shut up and pay up because, although my class was also victimised for hundreds of years before and during the time of the slave trade, we have lived charmed lives (off their backs) in comparison with the descendants of the victims in the past 50 years. -

But their research is highly regarded and is accepted as evidence in the Immigration law courts and the Court of Appeal. Hakim Adi is a senior lecturer at Middlesex University and Kofi Mawuli Klu is a visiting lecturer -

Damn, where do I start?? Immigration is fuelled by poverty and lack of choice in the area the immigrant comes from. I was told the same "taking our jobs/housing" stuff when I came to London from Merseyside in the 80's. Capital is allowed to flow freely from poor countries to the west when multinational corporations exploit the ever-cheaper labour of unregulated labour markets and raw commodities then sell their goods in the west at a premium. Although capital and goods are allowed to flow freely around the globe, people are not. When western corporations exploit a countries resources there is a net loss in that country and a net gain in the west, leaving poor countries poorer. When the people of these poor countries try to fight to install leaders who might represent their interests, western armed forces, especially the USA's, implement regime change to ensure continued access to the poor countries resources for the corporations. The special problems Africa faces above and beyond this, go back to the days of slavery, when the west stole millions of their healthy young men and left many areas under-populated, hugely setting back development, while the west benefited from free labour and was able to out compete all other areas for a long time. This is without going into all the western produced civil wars, that make our arms dealers rich. If I was living in abject poverty, with no chance of changing things politically in my home country, and knowing the west had got fat at my expense, I might be tempted to risk death to try to get to the 'promised land' but I'd probably want to go back home if it ended up being Peckham! -
Vehicle Crime In Dulwich Village
ChavWivaLawDegree replied to keithmoonisalive's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I think it's quite good round here. I left my car unlocked a couple of times and when I remembered the next day, ran in a panic to see if my stereo/alloys/car were still there and was amazed nothing had been touched. If I'd done that on my old estate, there wouldn't have been a chance in hell that my car would have been left undisturbed.
