What does that mean? the fact he has a Germanic name?

Unfortunately this man is a racist and would wish you to be drawn into a discussion.

Sorry but...what has his name anglicised or otherwise got to do with anything?

Ah, adding anti-semitism to your Islamaphobia I see. Reported.

The above says everything that is wrong with the UK today, still.

Yes - I don't want to be too critical of the moderators of this forum, who do a splendid job, but it's a bit disappointing that a clear hate speech antisemitic comment is permitted to stand.

Others who could be deemed not as offensive are banished to the lounge or somesuch.

[rendelharris]

One more go Admin - is blatant antisemitism to be permitted on this forum? An explanation of the rationale would be nice.

[Zebedee Tring]

I am half Jewish so don't take kindly to antisemitism on a public forum.

I may be wrong but isn't the offending poster a teacher? If so i am sure that his employers wouldn't be too pleased to know that he holds such views and that he might be expressing them in class.

Hi all

Some of the posts on this thread have disappeared.

I walked past this house today. Scaffolding is now shoring up the front of the house and a small section of brickwork has been removed from the top of the front wall. Hopefully this is the start of major remedial work.

[Hawley]

That's a relief - and better late than never. The council's only had five or so years to do something about it, after all.

Many thanks to UVArchitects.

I imagine they disappeared because of a racist comment and subsequent responses to it.

[solar]

Yes, I thought the same Sue.

[Earl Aelfheah]

The weird thing about this property is that they seem to have had a loft conversion done relatively recently. Why would you get a modern loft conversion done on a house that is falling down?

[solar]

Hi Rahrahrah

In one of my posts that got deleted I said that it's been empty for many years (15+?).

The owner started to put a loft conversion on it which can be seen better from the back. Before the work was finished it was abandoned and has been empty ever since. I suspect it will all need re-doing. I usually walk past it several times a day so am quite well acquainted with it!

[tarafitness]

I feel so sorry for the people who have just bought the property next door!

Surely there would have been a survey done? You can see from the picture of the front of the house, that the adjoining one has a crack in the lower bay.

Only when you move out of SE22 (and London in general) do you begin to properly appreciate the insanity of the capital's housing market.

?845K for 1143 sq ft of living space. Whole house needs renovating. Central heating installed. New kitchen, bathroom(s). Garden overhauled.

And just look what is next door.

Complete madness.

Why would you feel sorry for the people who just bought the house next door. The derelict house was there and visible, they had a choice not to buy the house and if they are on a tight budget they could have looked for something smaller, or something in an area where you get more for your money - tulse hill/forest hill.

[uncleglen]

There is scaffolding up but if the whole front is unstable then the scaffolding will come down as well...give it a very wide berth

[B&G]

It?s criminal that properties are allowed to fall into this condition when so many are desperately in need. Should be acquired.

[solar]

Work has now started on this house. So far the window has been removed, the front wall is being rebuilt and the bay is being repaired.

Do you actually believe this?

[Gloves]

So lucky the owner wasn't arrested, or the house acquired.
