Outrage over Council Plan to Move Families to Midlands
The Conservatives want to attract more foreigners to buy properties in Hammersmith. The foreigners push up house prices, and do not need services. That is why so many new "luxury investment properties" are being planned, priced at the next level down from the Candy brothers' offerings in Knightsbridge. Like some other parts of London we are effectively suffering a "land grab" on an unprecedented scale, by developers acting for some of the world's displaced or frightened moderately rich. We will end up with a "doughnut"-shaped London, with the poor scattered many miles away from their place of work, and the rich concentrated at the centre. Like in Paris. But this is a recipe for social conflict: it is always a mistake not to mix rich and poor. Instead of the "mild" riots which we had last summer we will have riots where whole neighbourhoods are set on fire, like they had in the "Cité" of Clichy-sous-Bois near Paris in 2005, which spread throughout the suburbs of the major cities of France, leaving 10,000 cars burned out.
