Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Stealing Public Assets & Common Land
This Condem Gov is determined to get a away with as much as possible while they can, the fact that Harringay is being chosen as the site to house extreme amounts of people from all over London and then selling off and privatising social & emergency services and assets, (including all mental health day centres that are being told to turn into cafes for the public and charge more money so that the mental health users can't afford to use it anymore) what are we going to do about it, put it this way if the communities don't claim and use common areas of land then it will be sold off, just be vigilant, thanks to Harringay Online its good to find out whats happening before it happens rather than months afterwards and having to live with the consequences of bad planning & self-servative folly.

It's their own fault for being weak and poor, that's the message I get from the government and its supporters anyway.

Very good points. The local Oxfam group recently did a campaign on land grabs, maybe they could try to get their mate Minister Lynne Featherstone interested in what's going on in, er, Haringey...

That's a laugh. Lynne Featherstone is only interested in good news stories. And, of course, her personal news worthiness.

One of two very worrying trends - the transfer of public assets into private hands (from the 99% to the 1%) and also the unprecedented wealth accumulation of corporations, mainly as a result of tax avoidance/tax evasion. If not actively involved in these processes, governments, certainly in the UK & the US, are standing by and allowing both to happen. There is now, I believe, a mining company in Wisconsin, USA, that employs a private army. We're not talking extra security here. This used to be the exclusive domain of the Mafia and south American drug lords. Now it's companies producing 'product'. Again, companies not paying taxes means that they are not contributing to infrastructure or social initiatives. All the profit goes to shareholders and to their ever-increasing cash mountains - look at Apple. Something is going badly wrong in the world.

Companies do pay salaries and personal income tax attracts tax rates twice as high as corporation tax. We should really just be campaigning to have companies pay higher wages, it's going to take too long to fix the corporation tax problem. The politics of the left does seem to be rife with salary envy though.

I do not have salary envy. I was fortunate to be able to retire in my early fifties and have absolutely no regrets. That doesn't mean that I no longer believe in fairness, however.

You only have to look at the high capacity occupancy blocks that are being built throughout Harringay most shoe box style high rise, each and every site is built to ultimate capacity, just enough pavement space for pedestrians and the block is almost on top of you, also the percentage of social house was dropped by Boris and his cronies for their building investing mates, I guess they have their eyes and greedy hands on sites, such as St Annes Hospital & the Police Station, no I don't know their plans as would take a lot of research and FOI requests. Just pre-warning people to be vigilant for the tactics of the Self-servatives. Also most of these new developments have minimal recreation space for the hefty occupancy expected.

Do you mean Harringay, or Haringey ? I haven't noticed any high-capacity blocks in Harringay.

There is no such thing as 'common land' in Harringay :/
