@bigguybwfc …it’s against the rules set by the council themselves… imagine walking on it in 35C heat

@profKayW It's probably cheaper to tarmac it karmilla. But it does look ugly as sin.

Destruction of the North Kilburn Conservation Area by the local authority… Brent Council can’t upkeep its own rules…

Today I watched the British Parliament, and I swear it felt like I was watching the parliament of the Islamic Republic. British MPs did not condemn Iran’s attacks on the UAE and others. Instead, they questioned whether the UK should stand with the United States or its allies in the Middle East. On a rainy day, they tell the world not to look to Britain, so should Britain expect the world to stand with it when it is attacked? You have reached a point where the UAE, even on its worst days under Iranian missile and drone attacks, feels safer than London on its best day after 9 p.m. Let that sink in.

The MPs that voted for a 50% reduction of income for disabled people will be enjoying a big pay rise with added cost of living bonus. Mwah. 💋

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

@antongeorgiou_ @FionaMulaisho_1 …Brent is vandalising many pavements by removing paving slabs and replacing it with awful tarmac… let’s see how that works in a heatwave.

Why over the next few months? What about the last 4 years? #LabourGimmick 🥀

Been with the DWP for 16 years. The official figure for fraudulent claims, approx. 2.2%, is, in my experience, broadly accurate. Just wanted to point that out to frothing, raging Daily Mail and Sun readers who think it's closer to 100%.

A British jury could not agree that this attack on a female police officer that broke her spine was Grievous Bodily Harm. Sgt Kate Evans was off work for 3 months and couldn’t shower or get into bed unassisted. So is it open season on police now? Shocking.

Why is Kilburn being erased by the estate agents?

The big difference between fraudulent covid loans and student loans is that fraudulent covid loans are happily written off

National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers. No mention of the role of private equity ownership of supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. No mention of profiteering, exec pay, dividends or profit shifting to dodge taxes. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

🏘️ Many residents have told us that poorly managed Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) cause endless issues in the area, fly tipping, ASB, etc. 🔶 Here is the latest Brent @LibDems policy proposal to tackle this problem. brentlibdems.uk/news/article/t…

Has Brent council given up on street cleaning completely? Streets of Kilburn are filthy. Why have such low standards in the Borough of Culture?

More people died in the Somaliland genocide than in Palestine conflict. However the Somaliland genocide was only brought up twice in the UN ever! Both in 1990 and 2025 both times by Israel. They tell me Israel is bad, and Arabs are good. Yet the facts contradict this.

If you are watching the King's Speech remember that he is worth £21bn gets hundreds of millions a year tax free. But he still charges Wind Farms to rent worthless seabed that he 'owns'. The result £200m a year to him and you pay it on your Energy Bill.

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit. Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Why isn't Tesco paying?

England water company CEO says long-term water security is under threat. Customers already paid, companies didn't build reservoirs, dumped sewage in rivers, paid dividends Now want to charge customers again to boost profits End the scam. Nationalise. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@LifeInKilburn They are moving to bigger premises, it’s an existing, longstanding business on Kilburn High Road

The very long standing "Unique" shop at 180 Kilburn High Road is being replaced by yet another Supermarket "Al Mahdi".

🤯 51 storeys?!! Utter madness... add to that severe lack of genuinely affordable and social homes & it’s a no brainer: @Brent_Council, you must REJECT!! Who the hell are these homes even for? Certainly NOT local people in housing need.

£90,000-a-year plus expenses Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, married to an investment banker, thinks the minimum wage shouldn't increase
