Your previous gloating, perhaps?
I doubt you're confused. Puzzled by the plebs talking back, but not confused.

Grrrrrrrrrr it's only the facial, the entrance, and the gates I object to, the rest is fine, everything in life is a compromise.Why would you buy somewhere if you thought it was ugly?
And you haven't answered the questions.
Yes I have read extensively the reports about the previous use of the block. I also watched a BBC documentary about the block opposite and the landlords, I think GUINNESS, trying to evict the tenant whilst increasing the rent for tenant on short leases, as they wish to knock down the block and according to the residents GENTRIFY the block. This is a local issue and you should all gather a strong residence association and fight this. Yes I think it's unfair, but all I did was buy a property in an area where I already live.

...is often what people say when they're not listening to you.
Around 20% of the entire population will ever be in the situation to buy somewhere rather than take out a mortgage, so I'm not sure your supposition is one that has much meaning beyond that fraction of the population.
You're not well-informed about the machinations of Lambeth Council when it comes to manipulating timetables etc to exclude public comment, are you?

Mmmm he wished me to be beaten to death, I think prison is ok for him, but I've just spotted your user name, VIOLENT panda.yes, we do very obviously need to waste prison accommodation on someone who ill-wished you, rather than on real criminals.
I can't abide pacifists, responsibility-shirkers and gobshites, but I don't wish prison on them.
I won't respond to anything you have to say. Goodbye and good luck, I still wish you well x x x

He wished you beaten to death.
yet here you still are, because (and this may come as a shock to you) words on a screen seldom translate to actual action, especially when the wisher is hoping an undefined third party will be beating the recipient of the wish.
But by all means, use up valuable resources in order to make yourself feel better!
It's a name, you dolt. It's a study in contradiction because, you see, giant pandas aren't violent.
Why me, oh Dark Lady of the Night? Why is it me that's destined to converse with people that have the gorms of an amoeba? Was it the fact that I slept with your daughters?

That was me who turned up. I am also in the process of the Council trying to evict me from across the road. The Labour Council unlike there feeble response to Barratts watering down the affordable housing element have unleashed the full force of there legal team against me. But I am one of the little people.
Your post which kicked all this off was:
This in response to Ed Brixton Buzz piece which I have read. Seems pretty fair piece to me. Mentions the fact that local people were upset about the about the affordable element being changed.
So I do not understand why you made the comment you did. Its a deliberate wind up.

The gates are up and Brixton has just acquired two new place names, Milles Square and Carney Place.

Being a cat I reckon I can get under those gates.
You would have thought Barratts could have made a better effort at design. Black asphalt, wooden rails and gate make it look like some industrial site.

Nothing wrong with my post at all, have not been to the site in a couple of months and was excited to see the progress.I think that's a natural reaction and not a wind up.

I have been on the boards long enough to know when someone is deliberately trying to wind up people up.
Its a form of trolling.

I have directed my anger at the Council in a constructive way. Done all the planning comments, turned up at planning committee etc. As usual , being one of the little people, I am not taken seriously.
The Council say its the governments fault. Barratts looked annoyed that one of the plebs had opposed there planning application.
Given the little effect on the powerful the little people have in reality I do not blame posters here having a go at Mr Bim of Bar.

Seeing the Brixton Square nearing completion It does not look that high standard. Pretty basic imo.
Another ugly shoddily built building to accompany the one next door. Welcome to the new Brixton.

I doubt "the powerful" will be living in Brixton Square. Not sure who made the points but surely asking anyone to give any more than a passing recognition of the arts cooperative which ceased to occupy part of that site long before permission to develop was even sought is a bit self indulgent. And as a newcomer he has no obligation to give two shits about the mural - other than to recognise the fact that it means something to some long standing residents (and not others). If someone were supporting a campaign to have it painted over that would be a different story.
ETA. I agree he is probably trying to mildly wind people up. Getting wound up is, however, entirely optional.

Given the way things are moving, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that was mooted at some point. It's certainly a point of irritation to some folks with designs on the area.

I was not talking about who lives in Brixton Sq. Teuchter was saying that people anger was better directed at the Council. I was replying to that comment.
What mural? I do not think there was one on the site originally. Not something I was going on about.

Street Party: July 2
Can't see anywhere in the property details:
'Grandstand view of the July 6 Leander Road street party with eight live bands (incl Hobos, Poeticat, Peter Hunnigale, Mangoseed, Missing Links), free bike clinic, tug of war etc'.
All welcome, including Bim.

Having a go at him for his flippancy, or having a go at him for being someone fortunate enough to be able to buy a flat in London? If it's the latter, then what do people want him to do - donate his cash to charity?

Maybe. But I wouldn't expect it would come from residents across the road.

I'm not blaming them for that! I doubt if many of the nu-residents will care either way.

The kind of information that would surely add another £10k to the asking price IMO.

Sorry - I thought you were suggesting that it was justified for them to direct their anger at the new residents, like Bim, on account of them having the power. Of course, I can understand why people feel that they are not being listened to and anger from some is directed in frustration at the new residents - but it is generally misdirected and unjustified.
Not you. Someone else was rather aggressively pressing him on the Nuclear Dawn mural and eviction of Carlton Mansions and the destruction of Cooltan and being able to afford a flat and a few other things, in a manner which seemed to imply it was his fault or he should care more simply on account of moving into the area. All painful for some but it sounded a tad self indulgent demanding recognition in that way.

Who was this? The last mention of Cooltan in this thread was all the way back in October 2012*!

No, I know you're not. Just that from earlier posts some seem to insist that they must care. Which is nonsense. I've lived here for fifteen years or so and I don't care all that much about it myself, other than that I know it means a lot to some so any plans should be carefully weighed up and considered.

Referred to as a community arts collective. About a page back. I assumed it was Cooltan. Was there another significant one there?
