Newham council - social cleansing 24.4.12

i can see the problem,
stock dose not supply demand,
this is a advert for the B-N-P,
because Newham council made the wrong command.
to me this is simple,
its similar to me wanting a Ferrari,
and if i was looking to drive it,
i would not book it in at the safari.
there is no more room,
we are busting at the seams,
Newham Council have to send residents away,
is it time we build on the belt protecting greens.
solve the problem UK,
from immigration to birth control to building more stock,
because just like in rush hour,
UK housing is becoming gridlock.

It's nothing to do with overcrowing.

I come from Newham originally. The reason Newham Council cannot house the people they're trying to send across the country is that there is a cap on housing benefit and since the Olympic Park has been built, and the new shops and apartments have arrived, rents have skyrocketed, even higher than the rest of London. Newham Council are trying to move people out of Newham into areas where housing is cheaper. After years and years of deprivation in an area where wartime bombsites still exited until the 1980s, suddenly the Olympic regeneration arrived. But all its meant for the indiginous people of Newham is that they are now priced out of their own homes and rich people are moving in while the unemployed and key workers on lower wages - teachers, nurses, paramedics... cannot afford to rent a place.

Incidentally, your mention of the BNP was in very poor taste. This issue doesn't have anything to do with immigration, race or the morons that makeup the BNP.

I was reading about this earlier. With the surge in rental prices within the Newham area, and the recent caps on housing benefit, many families are struggling more to survive on state benefits and will be forced out of their homes as they cannot afford the prices that are being demanded in those areas. This will become more commonplace I imagine. While it is unfortunate that people may have to relocate from areas that they have lived in for some years, many having lived there all their lives, it must be hard for councils to find people in need sufficient necessary living accommodation if it is in short supply.

It's quite sad though that many will have to leave their homes because of this through no fault of their own.

councils are to blame when you think of them paying for familes to stay in mansions in posh areas for years

I lived on the Isle of Dogs for 8 years until a couple of years ago, and it was the same there. There were people who had lived there all their lives and it was a poor and neglected area, and then there was this property boom, and an influx of a different kind of person. It caused a lot of resentment to some extent.

The Olympics seems to be causing a lot of problems for ordinary people while the backers, builders, promoters and sponsors are making a packet out of it ..... :mad:

IIRC, even the word "Olympic" is a registered trade mark now and may not be used by non-related businesses ..... :crazy:

Yes, I'm not surprised at the resentment. It was the same when Beckton was built around some of the poorest people in Newham.

Yes the Olympics are going to upset the poor of London.

its the same old story,money talks.

Im effin sick of hearing about the olympics tbh....
Yep shift all the poor up north then create a pay divide...Just what is the government trying to do to this country?

You labour under the illusion that all the rich people are down south and all the poor people are up north. And there is already a north/south pay divide. Key workers cannot afford to rent property in London because it is just too expensive, so it's hard to get teachers and nurses. But you seem happy for key workers in the south to suffer so long as those in the north don't seem to be earning less than those in the south.

Incidentally, Newham Council, the one that's trying to send the poor people up north, are Labour.

Not many Northern towns there, then ..... 9/40

Are you saying that there are no poor people in London? Is that what you're saying? And DO try to just answer rather than post a load of links and other people's lists.

Yes Omah
is Wrong.


London has so many Poor Workers
and many have no jobs now, sadly.

I'm saying that most of the wealth of the country is generated and resides in the South - the "wealth" of the Northern "residents" is generated from Premier Division football and second-home owners, the former being peripatetic anyway and the latter already living in the South or abroad .....

Unlike other posters I try to substantiate my assertions with facts or at least related data .....

You said "You labour under the illusion that all the rich people are down south" - well, apparently MOST are, so no real "illusion" there, then ..... :nono:

You used to live round Poplar? :amazed:

More people live in the south... and it's a MASSIVE generalisation to say that the wealth of northern residents is generated from footballers and second home-owners. That IS what you said... isn't it. What about the rich people who are northern by birth and who live in the south. Do you dispise them with as much fervour as you dispise rich southerners?

You're skating around the issue anyway. This thread is about Newham. Which is in London, and is full of poor people.

My grandfather used to live in Poplar, Salman.

your figures please ..... :suspect:



If you can generalise, so can I ..... :tongue:


I believe you're evading the issue ..... :hmph:

Apparently, full of "ethnically diverse" poor people with a high fertility rate :

Additional info :

Essex in London - if Newham becomes Inner, will Basildon become Outer ..... :puzzled:

I live in Poplar :hugesmile::hugesmile:

See, this is what happens when someone gets all their information from Google. Newham is not in Essex. Newham is in London. I come from Newham. My relatives were were bombed out of West Ham and Canning Town... which at the time were in LONDON, although Newham had not yet been formed. To suggest Newham isn't even London shows how little you know about the subject.

You suck all the fun out of a debate because you cannot debate. All you can do is post other people's words and argue. It's boring, very boring. I'm going to ignore you from now on. Please don't quote my posts and associate them with your nonsense in future.

You and I Salman, virtually cousins!

Stop presuming livia, That is my opinion ok?

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen ..... :xyxwave:

Okay. So your opinion actually is that all the rich people live down south and all the poor people live up north. In which case I don't have anything to discuss with you on this particular point.
