I wrote this in the above post: '...Some of those reporting the tragic story actually owned property around
the Kensington parish....' and it's true. But it's not just Journalists and Russian oligarchs who bought old
property in London areas and used the houses as investments. Politicians also do it.
There's nothing wrong in purchasing something cheap and then when the time is right, selling such a
commodity at a higher price than the original cost, nope... it's how capitalism rolls.
But don't give me that old 'Society-isn't-Fair' routine and expect the farm animals not to notice that
th pigs are sleeping in nice beds. That's for the children.
The nightly TV news in the UK often explains to the sheep, the goats and the geese, that young couples
starting out in life together struggle to get on in the housing market as first-time buyers.
The poe-faced presenter will tell you that with the boom of everyone in the country crammed into the tiny
area of London -because why invest elsewhere in the UK...?, the prices in the capital are sky-rocketing.
Property in the south of Britain were ... well, the word 'expensive'' doesn't cover it, but recently, house prices
in London have started to drop. If you're a Guardian reader, you can blame the smelly oiks in their white-vans
for voting to leave the EU and not the ongoing skirmishes between rival criminal gangs and ethnic quarrels.
Maybe with certain facts coming to light about the affluent rent-situation around Grenfell Tower incident and
how Councillors, constituency-leaders and many noted influencers enjoy their homes in North and South
Kensington, the time to eject their land-banked investments has arrived.
People like: Bernie Ecclestone, Stella McCartney, Sir Richard Branson, Baron Sainsbury, Bruno Schroder,
Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, JK Rowling, Sir Elton John... yer' know, regular folks just trying to get by.

'Labour frontbencher Emily Thornberry faced accusations of hypocrisy last night after it emerged that her
husband had made more than £500,000 profit buying a former housing association property for her brother
to live in.
Emily Thornberry .
Oxford-educated judge Sir Christopher Nugee paid £572,000 for the three-storey Georgian townhouse in
Ms Thornberry's Islington constituency as part of a release of social housing stock on to the private market
–even though Jeremy Corbyn's party is opposed to such sell-offs...'
'...that her husband had made...' -and yet she's known as 'Ms.' Thornberry?!
That's because her husband is Sir Christopher Nugee of the Queen's Counsel and it wouldn't do to talk with
common riff-raff with a title of Lady Nugee.
Quote:'...The property is now worth more than £1 million and is occupied by Ms Thornberry's brother Ben.The Daily Mail:
The Thornberry Residence. (£3 million) The Brother's Home. (Just £1 million)
Details of the deal will heap fresh embarrassment on Ms Thornberry, who resigned from Labour's front bench in
2014 after she sent a 'snobby' tweet showing a terrace house with three England flags and a white van parked
outside during the Rochester and Strood by-election.
Last night, MP Brandon Lewis, chairman of the Conservative Party, said: 'This is wild hypocrisy from Emily Thornberry
–she's pocketing the profits from a policy Labour want to scrap. As usual Labour say one thing and do the other.
Labour are against home ownership, they voted against our cut to stamp duty and by abolishing right-to-buy would
stop people from achieving the dream of home ownership.'
The deal is highlighted in a Channel 4 investigation into the £400 million sell-off of more than 1,600 housing association
properties. According to the programme, a total of 179 executives in the 50 largest housing associations are earning
more than the Prime Minister's £152,000 salary.
Over the past five years, the largest 30 associations have made operating profits of more than £13 billion.
Sir Christopher and Lady Nugee -Ms Thornberry's married name -live in a four-storey Victorian house in an exclusive
North London crescent worth about £3 million.
Sir Christopher bought the housing association property in 2007, two years after his wife became MP for Islington South
and Finsbury. The couple have been married for 26 years. It is not known whether her brother pays rent.
The programme also features Kate Davies, the controversial head of the Notting Hill Genesis social housing organisation,
who marked the first anniversary of the Grenfell fire last month –in which eight of her tenants died –by hosting a party to
promote her book Making Life More Beautiful. It reveals that Ms Davies, who earned £256,000 last year, has bought a
£700,000 luxury second home on the Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds.
Last night Ms Thornberry's spokesman said the housing association sold the properties because they were 'no longer a
cost-effective use of their limited budget'. Ms Thornberry's spokesman added that Sir Christopher had not bought a property
which would otherwise have remained in housing association use, but one that would have been purchased by another buyer
at the auction.
'Ms Thornberry has consistently argued for an increase in the overall provision of social housing and the improvement of the
existing stock, and for central government to provide the necessary resources to enable that investment.'...'
