There are plenty of properties in the UK to supply homes for all of the population. The problem is one of an unbalanced economy, with unequal distribution of wealth, opportunities and demand and also rampant speculation and profiteering.

The problem is government housing as it subsidises the rental market and creates a false rental market.


Rather than restrict social housing to those in need social housing goes to those who really don't need government help the likes of Bob Crow when he was alive.


Many black cab drivers builders etc etc on ?100k a year living in council housing.


It's not means tested because that would unreasonable so we tax payers fund the rental market.

No.. I don't, but it's replacing a shop I DID shop at.. and many others that had somewhere they could afford to shop at.

That 84-90 vertical sign is disgusting!


The rest is acceptable for the progressive


Luddites' would rather have mud huts hey ho that's progress


Agreed on m&s food it's for lazy people with more money than taste and a lack of food knowledge that's 80% of the local population catered for then

Yeah... seriously that sign is crappy.


Ready meals... it's all about how much/little time you have, and how you choose to spend it. When it's already 8pm by the time the kid's asleep, and you need to get up at 6am the next morning... a limp ready meal and a beer in front of the TV will do me just fine.

I got the impression that the M and S that is coming to LL will not be just one of those rail station types, but one where you can actually buy real ingredients. I can't remember the exact corporate nomenclature but I'm sure there are variants of M and S outlets.

Maybe the expect a lot of customers to arrive by helicopter or light aircraft even then the size is over kill they're probably looking to catch the eye of Timothy Peake.


The really clever thing about those numbers is that standing outside on the pavement they're so big that no one not even the postman would be able to see them, maybe visible on the opposite side of the road?

The Latest Scourge of London Gentrification Is Black Stores With Tiny White Signs...

So those who love the gentrification of East Dulwich would hate the big letters.

Those pictures show an obvious massive improvement over the crappy/ugly old building that was there before. It was a real dump.


I'll probably only shop there once or twice a week, but I'm still delighted there's also a half decent convenience store opening there too.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
