Suggesting that multi-million pound properties are not the best use of a fixed housing budget and that people on benefits are not automatically entitled to them is not suggesting "poorer citizens should live in ghettos". Please stop the hysterics.
'X' has just discovered that there is some social rent housing in the 'nice', wealthier parts of central London. (I won't respond to or amplify those tweets.) Rather than celebrating London's social diversity, it seems to believe that poorer citizens should live in ghettos.

The Telegraph covers the London council-housing MANSIONS that cost less than flatshares.

The council house swapping Facebook groups and websites are very eye-opening. There are 6- and 7-bedroom properties on offer in Zone 2 at ~£750 a month. Private rents for similar properties would be £6,000 . Enormous subsidies are being distributed in the worst possible way.

It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s

If England fans did this to a saltire the sweats would go fucking ballistic.
Scotland fans ripping England flags down at the World Cup.

BlueSky is now officially Britain's State-endorsed Paedo app. It's going to get very weird over there with just leftists and kids. Very fucking weird.

Mason is a great example of a particularly nasty type of Labour leftist. Careless and authoritarian, he congratulates his dear leader on censoring views he doesn’t like, while not caring a jot about the prevention of real, documented abuse carried out on an operatic scale. What’s important for him is that the plebs think as he tells them to. Their suffering is irrelevant.

Brilliant to hear Keir Starmer announce a ban on social media for U16s and restrictions on adult/child online gaming connections 💥💥💥 take on the platforms and smash them!

Everyone knows this is just about ending anonymity online, for everyone
Stop pretending you care about kids, if you did you'd roll up the gang networks that have captured multiple Labour cities and are pimping our children up and down the country

Local government needs a massive audit with special powers to get people jailed. A system that resulted in all sorts of Rotten Boroughs shenanigans a few decades ago - which now look positively gentle in comparison - was never going to be able to defend itself against the kind of rampant corruption wielded by our newer breed of councillor and their cronies.
Seems to be a common name in Buckinghamshire now. It’s not just the taxi company owners who get council contracts for millions who are called Hussain. Many councillors are too.
Wholesome 😊

In South London dozens of private renters are being evicted after their landlord - an affordable private rent provider - sold their entire estate to property developer
Eviction notices arrived just as the government’s ban on Section 21 became law
Full investigation from me @theipaper

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

It’s very funny that this lad thinks 9.6bn would end homelessness in the US when California alone has spent about four times that in the last decade and… there are now 70,000 more homeless people there than ten years ago.

Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context:
The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover.
The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover.
The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover.
The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets.
This is a complete moral failure.

few know this, but the poor actually had access to rockets and electric cars for free until Elon Musk decided to hoard them all for himself

Why ask a question and then block? Retarded behaviour.

So we have to put up with Islamic nutjobs, Pakistani rapists and African murderers?
Essentially you admit they’re damaging. Good to know 👍

Elon Musk has enough money now to fix every McDonald's ice cream machine, but he won't because he only thinks of himself.

Feels strange to live in a country where almost everyone assumes this sort of thing doesn’t happen but in fact it does.

Would you agree with confiscating all of Elon Musks trillion pounds in order to fix world hunger, provide the world with clean drinking water, and reforesting the Amazon?

How did it do this?
If the answer is ‘by showing the crime’ then I’m not sure preventing that is the morally correct reaction.
If it’s something different, some other kind of ‘stirring up’ that I’m not aware of then by all means explain.

How about buying- as a monopoly- the most important political information website in the world, which quite literally this week helped promote race riots in a British city?
