No shortage of luxury in Kensington:Last year most property sales in Kensington And Chelsea involved flats which sold for on average £1,370,825. Terraced properties sold for an average price of £4,285,605, while semi-detached properties fetched £6,818,538.
Kensington And Chelsea, with an overall average price of £1,989,412 was more expensive than nearby Hammersmith And Fulham (£949,102), Ealing (£566,652) and Hounslow (£483,052). The priciest area within Kensington And Chelsea was Brompton (£2,976,165) and the least expensive was Earls Court (£1,284,834).
At these prices you have to wondner why so many properties are left empty (some have stood empty for 15 years) ?
Oh thats right.... greed

You have to wonder what covetous pillocks like you would even care what other people choose to do with their properties.
Oh, that's right....envy.

It's mostly what they have in K&C - the shabby stuff is prone to disaster.

I know. I used to live there.
But let's spread our horizons further afield than just K&C. What would your reaction be if Corbyn calls for the requisitioning of a spare room up there in your bucolic Cumbrian home, to shelter a displaced Grenfell family?

Of course they do.
We have to do as much as possible to retain the whole "us and them" mentality whenever possible.
And, besides, Corbyn might be naive enough to have sincere motives for suggesting this but you can be abso-fucking-lutely sure that the real fun people like Wutang will get is from installing poor people in rich people's houses and then laughing at the subsequent shenanigans when it then takes years, and costs thousands, to get them evicted when they refuse to leave - only for the owners to find that their properties have been all-but destroyed and there are rooms filled with bottles of piss, bags of shit and piles of used needles.
Cos, y'know; fuck the rich.
And, to be perfectly clear; that's NOT a jibe against the residents of Grenfell Tower.
It's a comment on what people like Wutang are overjoyed about the possibility of.

Compulsory purchase at full market value, I presume? K&C council would be skint in no time!

Unlike K&C I don't have the power to compulsory purchase - you blethering idiot.
