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.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
