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.

@TheBreadmonkey
Philanthromissed, more like.
(Sorry)
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…
