For context, this particular hotel may house close to 500 men, women and children, all of whom could've been burned alive. Far right radicalisation is a serious threat, yet often politicians pander to their ideology, claiming it is the only way to counter them.

A 65 year old man pled guilty to an arson attack on an Islington hotel to target asylum seekers - once shown the cctv footage. He will be sentenced in December. Nobody hurt, fortunately, as fire brigade acted quickly, though he intended to do worse.

Bollards are an infinitely superior solution but the concern-trolls have successfully got them ruled out in Hackney and Islington. Now emergency services object & also because they give exemption to disabled residents.

Went to the fabulous Alfredo's in Islington for a morning-after post-gig breakfast.

Thanks for the anecdote. Btw, Islington & Finchley is in Chestnut Hills. Not even close to Kingsway BIA along Bloor.

Perfectly possible to go up a bit, or to come together (e.g. Islington terraces rather than semi detached).
There is another side to this argument. As someone who lives in a rural area (near a big city) and is watching the fields being bulldozed over to build endless housing estates, I wonder if it is really worth sacrificing our countryside in order to reduce London house prices.
