The buy-to-let sector in London has definitely screwed youngsters that were born in the capital and of course the knock on effect is that those young people will move far away and not be able to support their elderly parents later on...creating a need for health care workers who need somewhere to live, schools for their kids etc, etc....nightmare
Indeed, but the surprising thing is that in two articles I've read from the Telegraph recently, they seem to be suggesting that the tory answer is not the correct one. That just surprised me, having never really read the paper, but having heard it called Torygraph for yonks.

Shhhhh, the lefty's wont have it, it's just them that are the 'goodies'

The whole right/left thing is about as useful today as the term "middle class".


If the tories are a little bit right of center, then modern labour are centre. I'm not sure there are any real Left wing politicians.


And the "far right" nutters, I'm not sure that right/left has anything to do with them, they're just racist cunts.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
