It would be thrown out of Court with costs awarded against the claimant.

Yeah, right...

Tory donor's firm is major investor in company that fitted cut-price Grenfell cladding banned in USA

A Tory donor’s private equity firm was a major investor in the construction company accused of saving £5,000 by fitting cheaper and more flammable cladding to Grenfell Tower.

Mayfair-based Coller Capital owned a fifth of Rydon Construction via a partnership based offshore in Jersey when the building firm started work on the £10million refurbishment at Grenfell Tower in 2014.

Cladding manufacturer Omnis yesterday confirmed that it had supplied cheaper aluminium composite material to the project that cost £2 per square metre less than the more expensive but more fire resistant option.

Or month for that matter.

Hard to believe they were odds on for a truly massive landslide not so long ago.

If another election were held today Labour could even win.

Deputy Leader of RBKC council (also in charge of housing regeneration) is a property developer

Before co-founding SCC in 2009, he spent over 5 years developing and building out residential and mixed-use projects in London and in northern Europe, overseeing everything from sourcing the deals, securing the funding, project managing the design and construction, and leading on the sales and marketing processes.

In his spare time, Rock is a local government Councillor. He is now the Deputy Leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea in London, where he is leading on some major regeneration projects.

Probably celebrating a wonderful new property development opportunity that has just opened up in Kensington. No doubt had some of this collegues from the property industry with him.

How austerity is used to redistribute money to the rich Kensington style.





The council has £209million in reserves - which is built up by under-spending on social services and, of course, cutting corners on redeveloping places like Grenwell

BLOOD MONEY!!!!!

Now crying that it cant rehouse the survivors in the area

You can rehouse quite a lot of people with £209million thumbsup:

Actually, you need physical homes, not money, to rehouse people, you anarchist halfwit. You do realise there's a helluva long waiting list for social housing? For sure, these people will be given priority over new immigrants, and even more so over indigenous Brits who have been waiting for years, but you can't create vacant homes out of thin air.

Why do you not understand the landlord/tenant relationship? You seem to have problems getting your head around the idea that people who can afford it, buy property, then rent it out at a profit, to those who can afford the rent. It's not rocket science. Do you think we should all be wearing Chairman Mao suits and living in identical concrete boxes, with no one ever making money out of enterprise? If so, fuck off to China or North Korea or somewhere.

Btw, what happened to your childish post about Tories not liking 'poor smelly people', only it seems to have disappeared?

The opinion of someone who hijacks tragedy to further their agenda is of no consquence.

Meanwhile, a migrant camp near Calais has been burnt out by the 100's of migrants living there until they can sneak into the UK.
They were fighting and stabbings each other.....

Multiculturalism just gets better and better.

Kensington Council - profiting off housing in order to spend on opera.





The poor paying (with their lives) to entertain the rich

For those saying there isnt enough housing

More stats on empty houses in Kensington here

https://whoownsengland.org/2017/06/18/w ... ensington/

So who owns these empty homes? Kensington Council haven’t published the addresses, clearly wishing to discourage squatting, though I will attempt to get them under Freedom of Information law. Without the precise locations it’s very difficult to research the owners. But knowing that the biggest rash of empty homes is in Brompton & Hans Town Ward, we can draw some broad conclusions.

Firstly, the area is plagued by offshore owners. As Private Eye’s map of offshore ownership shows, much of south Kensington has been gobbled up by firms with names like ‘Property International Holdings Ltd’, based in tax havens like the British Virgin Islands, or Bermuda, or Jersey. This is property speculation and tax avoidance of the most socially irresponsible kind, pushing up the price of housing for the rest of us.

Every red square is a property owned off-shore (especially companies based in tax havens) Buying up loads of property, then leaving them empty for years to drive up prices.

And still the brainwashed twats reading the Mail/Sun regurgitate the myth that there isn't any homes to house the homeless.

Yes the Mailites etc aren't known for any intelligence
