As someone in the comments pointed out, this is like a Daily Mash pastiche of a Guardian article. Only it's real. Still, top marks for this person only taking 10 years to work out that they really, really hate rich people so much they can no longer bear to accept their money.


Most telling line: "Yet in a society plagued by the disease of aspiration...". As Catherine Tate put it, how *very* dare they.


Funniest line: "an already unequal form of education plunges into something that would make the feudal system look like the dictatorship of the proletariat." Monty Python couldn't have put it better.


Anyway, a tour-de-force of left-wing stupidity.

The comments section (surpringly nailed it). The person who said that the aspiration as diseease comment was a reflection of the "no your place" mentality in Britain was spot on. I've seen it first hand and its one of the only things I dislike about this (my adopted) country.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
    • Is this the home for the blind and partially sighted at the south end of Underhill? 
    • Sorry, yes, you can park but it's unlikely you will find a space. I meant to say 'you can't park with any certainty' - and if you go past Stradella Road getting back to where you can park is a bit of a bind.
