Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: David Miliband in Hammersmith: a Tale of Two Davids
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2010/02/david-miliband-in-hammersmith-tale-of.html
Monday, 22 February 2010. David Miliband in Hammersmith: a Tale of Two Davids. Last Friday night David Miliband, Foreign Secretary, came to Hammersmith for a public meeting in St Paul's Church. Not surprising really, given that this is a marginal constituency. Surprising though was that he asked to come and meet us on Queen Caroline first. A group of residents met him in our local primary school, St Paul's. Which draws a large proportion of its pupils from our estate. Which was a 'ticket only' event from...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Market rents for council housing?
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/10/market-rents-for-council-housing.html
Tuesday, 27 October 2009. Market rents for council housing? We've noticed a puzzling contradiction in what Stephen Greenhalgh, the by now infamous Leader of H&F Council, has to say about rents for council homes such as ours. On the one hand, in the midst of a rather incoherent speech. Captured on film by the Guardian. He acknowledges the prohibitive cost of renting in the private sector in this area:. Yet in the document that outlines his. Chilling vision of the future for social housing. So, at risk of ...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Queens Wharf Sold On
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/08/queens-wharf-sold-on.html
Friday, 21 August 2009. Queens Wharf Sold On. Queens Wharf, an empty office building on the riverside border of our estate, has been. This is troubling us because there are strong reasons to believe allegations that H&F Council offered our homes on the Queen Caroline Estate to the previous owner, Ira Rapp (Chief Exec of WestCity Plc) when he approached them about developing Queens Wharf. We have nothing against new homes being built but we would be foolish not to wonder whether any informal. Note that A2...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Grubby Politics
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/08/grubby-politics.html
Friday, 7 August 2009. Every so often people ask us which political party is behind our campaign. The answer is simple - none. There is no-one behind us, we are not hapless puppets manipulated by some shadowy Svengali. We are residents who have joined together to resist the threat to our homes. The Council would love to portray us like that of course. It's just nasty old Labour manipulating the thicko working classes for evil purposes. There you go. It's just a Labour conspiracy. Phew. Door slammed shut ...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Why We Formed
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-we-formed.html
Tuesday, 21 April 2009. On the 19th March, Hammersmith and Fulham Council held a "drop in" meeting in the Queen Caroline Estate Residents' Hall in which they said that they have been in discussions with the property developer who owns Queens. Wharf We understand that in fact senior personnel in Hammersmith and Fulham Council have offered our homes to the developer - who would knock them down and replace them with apartments for the rich. To discuss proposals for Queens Wharf. On 27th February Mr....We ar...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: The Truth is Told in Parliament
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/07/thank-goodness-for-freedom-of.html
Friday, 31 July 2009. The Truth is Told in Parliament. MP Andy Slaughter has given a resounding speech in parliament highlighting the misinformation that has been peddled by the Council about their plans and exposing the extent of their nightmare vision. We are talking about something that was designed by the leader of Hammersmith council, who is the head of the Tories’ local government innovation unit, as a blueprint for the rest of the country. How do we know that? See Dave Hill's Guardian blog. Of the...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Fame at last
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/10/famous-at-last.html
Thursday, 15 October 2009. It's heartening to see that our story is getting out there and intelligent observers of the situation here in H&F are drawing their own conclusions, not only about our plight but about the questionable activities of the Council in general. We always enjoy the musings of Shepherds Bush blog and never more than. Have a look at. In the Guardian. Do make sure to read the comments too - they seem to arise from a wide political spectrum, to put it mildly! You might also like to watch.

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: I guess that's why they call it the blues
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-guess-thats-why-they-call-it-blues.html
Monday, 11 January 2010. I guess that's why they call it the blues. On January 5th David Cameron came to Hammersmith and Fulham for one of his 'Cameron Direct' sessions in marginal constituencies. The meeting took place a hundred yards from our estate in the local church: in fact the very one in which we first made Stephen Greenhalgh admit to talks with property developers. Perhaps the trauma of that night. Of his mates in the Tory Shadow Cabinet for their lack of experience (expressed as. Thank you for ...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: Cameron observed
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2010/01/cameron-observed.html
Friday, 15 January 2010. We received the message below from a local resident who doesn't live on our estate but clearly takes a keen interest in community issues. We thought you'd like to share it. From people sitting near to me who clearly were not satisfied residents. We were never given figures of how many had said they were satisfied or happy with the services and the plans this council has for its electorate. I think he was taken aback by the sheer number of dissatisfied members of the local elector...

Hands Off Our Queen Caroline Homes: The truth is out there
http://handsoffqc.blogspot.com/2010/05/truth-is-out-there.html
Sunday, 30 May 2010. The truth is out there. We are constantly being told about Labour scaremongering, Labour lies, Labour whipping up residents. When talking about the future of our homes. David Cameron described it as. 8216; black propaganda’. When he came to Hammersmith and since the election has. Blamed 'appalling Labour lies'. For preventing his candidate Shaun Bailey from being elected in Hammersmith and Fulham. So what DO we know? Hammersmith and Fulham Council demanded a retraction from. The West...
