In what way am I 'beaten down'? This is the greatest city in the world.
|
|
By:
very bad news, especially if they build houses on it
|
|
By:
It was.
Your beaten down because you didnt defend your city,ye cravenly handed it over. Are there any Cockneys left. Are there any English people left. A Capital city where the indigenous people have been forced out is a rarity and a disaster. |

By:
it's ie mugs like mustang that will destroy this country, the rest of the world stands back and laughs at him and people like him. They do not respect English people like that, they despise them and are right to do so
|
|
By:
Not sure what your point is:
Are there any Cockneys left. Umm, yes. Me. Are there any English people left. As above. Next? |
|
By:
Do not trust the working class like mustang, say a. little prayer for them they are too dumb to do so

One child is not enough Johnny.
The people needing the housing will have on average five or six kids,some will have up to four wives. So one of these enriching gentleman will be outbreeding you by a ratio of at least 25 to 1 and will need at least four of these new Kempton houses. Proving once again that the much missed Ron Russian was right. |

Never in my life have I seen so many idiots on a forum...

Are they gonna be council housing ?
|
|
By:
well there are millions of people in London needing council housing, they have to live somewhere
|
|
By:
who will pay for it ? I don't know
|
|
By:
why do all these poor people have to live in London ?
I don't know, maybe it's to punish them for being poor |
|
By:
Are these planned houses council or houses to buy ?
|
|
By:
Awful idea.
Is this one of those 'benefits' of mass immigration? |
|
By:
Blaming immigration for property development whatever next ....
|
|
By:
Immigration is blamed for everything right now. Especially on here. It's replaced workshy scroungers as the route cause of everything, until the government want to find their next scapegoat.
Yet another thread hijacked for the cause. On topic. Much of the ruination of the horseracing industry lies at the feet of the BHB and the obnoxious Savill. It priced itself out of the market. Self importance, loss of support from the media, cost to bookmakers and the general desire to charge fortunes for a product because it was 'commercially right'. Horseracing was fine for many years, until it largely ostracised itself via the quest for more money. Tracks being sold to big companies, the loss of people interested in the sport, the rise of marketing. This is the fallout, continuing. |

The death of horse races being shown in pubs due to the expansion of Spoons pubs
the failure of courses to throw away the class structure and move with the times, the monotony of the sport due to all weather racing. |
|
By:
betfair must play some part in the decline of racing for opening so many eyes to
the value being offered from bookmakers bookmakers replied by changing their product to cartoon stuff and machines ive never seen a price change on the cartoon stuff...why is that ? surely if a horse is backed enough they cut price to divert bets elsewhere. how much do they take on an average cartoon race ? even the worst all weather dross produces numerous price changes |
|
By:
Presumably they buy the cartoons from another company who also show the prices so they would not be able to alter them.
I can't imagine anyone bets more than 50p on these and I think even High Street bookies would be able to stand the odd loss on a race. |
|
By:
some blokes punting 100 quid a pop on the machines, what if one
of them, or a few of them decided to hit the cartoon racing scene it looks like it hasnt happened but i guess cartoon racing doesnt float their boat |
|
By:
I think I'll go in this afternoon and place some bets on the cartoon racing using
monopoly money, when they tell me it's not real money I'll tell them it's not real racing... |
|
By:
i'm surprised the bookies dont issue their own currencies
so punters can play for fun |

The population of London grew at twice the rate of the UK as a whole between 2011 and 2015, and could reach almost 10 million by the middle of next decade, official figures show. In mid-2011, the population of the city stood at 8.2 million, but over four years it increased by 469,000 to just under 8.7 million, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. The arrival of almost 200,000 people from overseas each year, and an average of 130,000 births a year drove the city’s growth, and offset the high numbers leaving the city for other countries and the rest of the UK. Even the Guardian knows it. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/oct/12/london-population-growth-twice-that-of-uk-official-figures-show |

Without property development thousands of jobs would be at risk are you after a stagnant economy with no growth..

The problem with you Beeeding mad is that you have no tipping point.
You want an open door to the entire world but have no understanding of congestion. Do the current residents of Sunbury welcome further congestion? Even when there is a knock on effect to greenbelt areas you will see no harm to your country. |

Almost 57,000 homes in London stand empty, according to the charity Empty Homes. Think of what that must feel like to Londoners struggling to access homes they need, as so many stand boarded up – often attracting antisocial behaviour and blighting communities.
|
|
By:
They are not all boarded up, many of these vacant houses are for buy-to-leave purposes. This data will have come from council tax figures.
The owners of these houses may be tied up in probate issues for example. There are many reasons why know one lives in them. The boarded up ones will be in ghetto type areas, surely if the choice was to live there or relocate away from London, relocation would be the best option. |
|
By:
i thought people were wanting to live in london not locate away from london
and if they do locate away then boarding up their old gaff seems a tad wasteful |
|
By:
I dint think kempton should be sold and houses given over to people who may or may not be English.
they might not even like horse racing and those are not the sort of people we should be encouraging |
|
By:
If they have never been to kempton, they don't deserve to live there, imo
|
|
By:
No donny, my point being that many of those houses boarded up are perhaps not fit for purpose and if it was a choice to live in one of thoe or relocate away from London, then relocation could be the favourable option.
That was my point. |

How selfish to want to destroy part of England's history just to make money, and house more people. we have too many people in London as it is
