One of the worst tweets I’ve seen today.
The capital should be the social housing centre of the country. This weird obsession everyone has with London being an inflexibly unequal place is vile.
Protect community in the face of gentrification. London is a home, not an accessory
There shouldn’t be any council housing in London.
Cities, especially the capital, should be for the productive.
It’s not fair on young professionals who have to spend thousands of pounds each month for simple food, transport and rent.
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”
This is a shocking, damning admission.
The UK is arming Israel. It is conducting surveillance flights for Israel. It is training military personnel for Israel.
A full, independent, public inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide cannot come soon enough.
Our positioning of STEM as a silo from humanities failed us even more.
You can’t be a great economist without an understanding of history. You can’t be an impactful architect without a solid understanding of society.
