New worst person just dropped

The billionaire philanthropist making hundreds of Londoners homeless

The billionaire philanthropist making hundreds of Londoners homeless

He's the London philanthropist who says he's committed to solving homelessness. So why is Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital rushing to make hundreds of Londoners homeless in the coming weeks?

@TheBreadmonkey

Have to say, I called that 😛.
Faith restored in my old mate.

And well done LondonCentric, for such brilliant reporting.
An essential source of real news about London.

Billionaire halts mass eviction after London Centric investigation

Exclusive: Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital hoped to replace hundreds of tenants with more lucrative temporary accommodation. That plan has been shelved – for now.

Billionarism is a social pathology.

@TheBreadmonkey Why is he called a philanthropist then? That's the exact opposite.

@TheBreadmonkey
the fact that this type of scene doesn't happen is a testament to something.

@TheBreadmonkey "Aziz, […] described his mission in life: “I have worked hard to accumulate wealth not simply for myself, but for the communities that I am a part of.”

If only the UK government would make all billionaires live up to their "charitable" side, by taxing obscene wealth.

The absolutely insane renters market in London wasn't an insignificant driver in us moving away from the UK. (Our flat was terminated for putting it onto Airbnb. Albeit, we had already settled on moving by then.)

"…the Aziz evictions dwarf the scale of the mass evictions carried out by Henry Smith, another wealthy London landlord, which caused widespread consternation across the capital in 2024."

@TheBreadmonkey And he wants to build three more towers next to Britannia Point. A big topic of conversation in Colliers Wood…
