Tired and frustrated Cotton Gardens Estate/Lambeth resident. Highlighting our plight with a sense of righteousness and humour(?). Bark almost as bad as my bite.

Hurley House on #CottonGardensEstate has been suffering with a leak in the lobby since last week. Feels like an impossible mission to get the council to plug the leak. What are you doing about this @lambeth_council ? Any updates? #healthandsafety #Hazard #CottonGardens #Lambeth

What is it that people expect from deporting people? Because it won't lower House prices or rents. And it won't make food or energy cheaper. There won't be more jobs and they certainly won't pay better. At what point do you realise it is going to achieve nothing?

It's staggering that given the previous @HousingOmbuds decision @lambeth_council are still intent on ignoring the very necessary upgrade to our lifts on #CottonGardensEstate. Ridiculous that residents have to go to such extremes for repairs to services that we're paying for.
2024 @HousingOmbuds re @lambeth_council lift repair "Given the ongoing nature of the problem, it would have been appropriate for the landlord to have sought a long-term solution rather than allowing the outage to continue ... before the upgrade commenced." housing-ombudsman.org.uk/decโ€ฆ

A small update on the lift that broke down on 2nd October. The estimated repair date of 10th October has been officially upgraded to 'ASAP'. A bold strategy. I hope the other lift doesn't break down before 'ASAP' arrives. @lambeth_council, sort it out! #CottonGardensEstate

The 'estimated' repair date of 10/10/25 has come and gone. @Lambeth_Council what is happening with the lift repair in #HurleyHouse on #CottonGardensEstate? The lift still ain't been fixed! It's a matter of time before the other one goes. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ #ManagedDecline #LambethCouncil

It's no coincidence that Reform UK are being bank rolled by the very same billionaires who are putting up your bills and burning the planet. The small boats are a distraction. Stop blaming immigrants and start blaming an exploitative capitalist system.

If they cannot repay then their assets should be seized. Itโ€™s ridiculous how they can just claim bankruptcy. It seems crime really does pay... Shame is not enough! The ordinary person would have gone to jail....

.@CGE1TRA Just home tonight, and 1 lift is out again in Hurley House #CottonGardensEstate. No doubt the other lift will be out soon again too. We need to get the lift issues sorted ASAP. Been seeing activities advertised by the TRA, but no meetings. When is the next TRA meeting?

The Labour government initially said that digital ID was necessary to curb illegal migration. Now they are saying itโ€™s necessary for pretty much everything. Itโ€™s all bullshit. Itโ€™s all about government control. A massive overreach of power. No one voted for this.

What digitial IDs canโ€™t do: - stop illegal immigration - stop crime - help the poor - save money - make your life easier What digitial IDs can do: - make billions for the people who operate them - jeopardise your personal data, leaving you exposed to identity theft and blackmail - stop working due to hacks, system crashes and technical glitches - end your right to privacy - enable the government to spy on you, recording your movements, shopping habits, social media contacts, social media posts, DMs, phone calls, text messages, emails, personal photos and videos, and even access your camera and microphone - pave the way for authoritarian measures through constant surveillance, punishing wrong think and pre-crime - switch off your access to anything that in future requires them, which could include anything from internet access to driving your car to using your bank account Literally nobody voted for thisโ€ฆ

I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on. One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If weโ€™re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start. It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands. It's actually mind boggling.

We might be an absolute shower in all sorts of ways. But we really, really hate the idea of ID cards in this country, and I think that's beautiful.
