Work on the Kew Bridge development continues apace. Brentford Lubyanka aka Kew Bridge London is now being marketed on the interweb through their website at http://www.kew-bridge.co.uk.
This development is located in Brentford. The post code is TW8. The number of times the B word is used on their website? Zero. Zilch. Not a sausage.
They seem to be ashamed to be in Brentford. Presumably they feel that if they mention this then no one will buy.
This is an insult to the people of Brentford whom they are currently trying to charm with their plans to redevelop the Thameside Centre adjacent to the current development.
The words two-faced and hypocrites spring to mind.

What a sad day it is when a co-operative sells out and takes the 40 pieces of silver from big business to the detriment of their customers as Coop Homes has done in their “arrangement” with Southern Electric.
Coop Homes manages and provides management services in the area of Social Housing. People living in Social Housing are typically amongst the lowest paid members of society and many receive Benefits.
Southern Electric, in common with the other major energy suppliers, discriminates against the less well off. If you are unwilling or unable to pay by direct debit you will pay more. If you are unfortunate enough to use a prepay key meter you will pay a lot more for the privelege. If you are a low energy consumer you will find the old standing charge loaded onto the first energy units you use.
So, Southern Electric are happy to have customers delivered to them on a plate, Coop Homes are happy to take their 40 pieces of silver, and the rest of us pay for it all.
What exactly is the moral and ethical justification for this?
