This thread is intended to generate suggestions for ridding E.D. and other parts of South London of the plague of red vans that belong to a certain Mr Terry Kilty.

Arsom is not acceptable (on ecological grounds) but extra points will be awarded for suggestions that are particularly creative, humorous or off-beat.

Avid readers of the EDF might suggest I have an unusually low tolerance for littering, loutishness and the like, but in this case I am neutral. There's no suggestion the vans are not taxed or unroadworthy, so let him park where he wants and make a living. Vehicles that are driven poorly by anti-social drivers and that blast out music are more worthy of our ire, as are fly-tipping, dropping litter and other such uncivil behaviour.
Guess I've got a sense of humour failure, but these vans are eyesores (and not as amateur/just trying to make a living as they appear). I wouldn't like a billboard opposite my house or a van parked with a huge sign (as these are). If the vans were parked in the normal course of business, that would be fine - but not parked for weeks. There is little enough road space for parking anyway. Not illegal, but bad manners and a bad example. I wouldn't want my house or walls or fences covered in the kind of graffiti that the vans appear to emulate. (I don't much care for the crackhouse aesthetic anyway, which proves how middle-aged I am).

I am sad enough i noted down some registration numbers and satisfied myself they were not all the same van.. and googled to see if I could find some info about them.


FWIW, there is one by Goose Green usually and one outside Dulwich Village Infants.


So are they a fleet of vans all in operation.. or do only a few of them move and the rest are novel forms of advertising hording?

    • So you'd like to see people double taxed on the money they earn first and then on any funds they transfer overseas, that's unfair and unjust. 
    • Don't think they are externalising these billions to thwart Reeves. They are doing it to build mansions in Lagos, Lahore, Hyderabad and the Caribbean . Plus set up businesses overseas , not the UK. Plus of course externalise the proceeds from crime. Twenty years ago, processors such as Western Union did not exist. Now they have outlets on every street. They externalise money without any controls. It's gotta change to protect the UK economy.
    • So stop all transferring of funds out of the UK. Have you had a thought as to why people may be doing this, they've had enough of thieving Reeves and want to protect their funds, hence moving it over sea's and out of the reach of Reeves. The 26th November will come around really quickly, then we'll become aware of what other actions Reeves is planning on taking to plunder all of us. The pot is only so deep and you can't get blood out of a stone. She'll actually create more austerity if she continues with her tax grabs. Rather than doing that, spend on essentials and not vanity projects. The employers NI hike has had a detrimental effect with employers reducing vacancies and shedding labour. Does she not see that business creates growth and not the Government directly. Her, Starmer, Streeting, Lammy and the rest of that motley crew need booting out of Government and be replaced by Badenoch and Stride who will stop the rot. Before Starmer and crew came into office inflation was down to 2%, since then month on month it's increased to somewhere around 3.8% and is expected, nay predicted, to reach in excess of 5% at the current rate. as a result employment will further increase and that has to be paid for through DWP. We are being gradually crippled by Reeves.   
    • Which think tank?  Why no link to what they have to say?
