10:06 am
of the middle class people they don't care about the class you know the working class people we know that that so good. not expect anything and i know that they are but he did tori's well from you david to the carnal physician i also groceries activists and defend council housing member fred milton as jeremy cool beans manifesto fares ahead of the yup coming grenfell tower inquiry enough coal strike in jeremy jeremy call brings initial permit to buy the body to build five hundred thousand pounds for housing in five years was very well but i have to say that in the course of the election that was watered down watered down watered down what does prove what is the truth of recent events from going from the tower to is that we need council housing we need council housing one by a. responsible manager not intended not to help out sale for the
10:07 am
council but actually have a call function over the council to. run their housing properly with another means keeping them safe for houses allowed to happen in the first place i spoke to green lawn in assembly member and comes in council of the highgate sean barrie about the causes of the housing crisis they'll to because it's capitalism you know that the market as a has been unregulated and deregulates if it will fall to deal with saying rising costs were saying look for problems with people buying homes simply to run my distorting little bit and that they develop this business model really is failing and we're saying lots of times that all belts no no london it could ever fool it's going to buy those of us that just about scraped enough to rent and fed the damage our chances of buying it's genuinely broken either way you thought i was like you've got a nasty car is rolling back on some of his promises to people on estates to rentals
10:08 am
when it comes to things like rent controls and having a buyer with one hand is to manage however the crisis goes beyond the capital to communities across the u.k. kevin. he grew up in school in schools on a housing estate he says has been ignored by power given a choice by films like dispossession the great social housing swindle people of their god and god and the people are you going to see in this film what can we offer the tory. party enough and i told him we know they don't tell policy joins in those trees i'm in constant care. what do you make of all the ones that she's brought on board and the care that's going to make a difference not that's not going to make a difference it's going to be isn't this a perfect show selfishness so sent on this. not care for anyone else if you have the if you actually think that the tory party in this country believe in social haitian italy believe in society margaret thatcher said there is no society there's only and this is not just
10:09 am
a movie this is cain moche this is dennis paw this is a postman what stuff this is a saying of the chains this is a show clone creativity documentary film camera and get on people tell you they'll tell the truth for some in this country put on a screen expressing the human cost of the housing crisis on the big screen this documentary explores the cats struck phase that led to a chronic shortage of social housing in britain essentially we've had success in the city haven't seen the role for social housing and they've been cutting in. senior producer peter bennett's there i'm outside the ground fell to our north kensington in london now with the director of dispossession the great social housing swindle paul first of all just your reaction to. hear lots of the mainstream media cameras go here anymore. looking at the building obviously you can't really comprehend what went on. when i found out about i was in sheffield and
10:10 am
i was seeing the images on t.v. and initially like my space where you just feel sympathy. and empathy for the people that is affected and then afterwards you know shock and anger the fact that it's been allowed to happen i think there were a dozen council inspections of that building and seeing this this all come out in the last few days it just draws you back to systematic neglect not only of people in council housing of working class people of poor people of people all over the u.k. . the thing i keep going back to is the seventy odd tory m.p.'s that voted against the landlord bill to make homes fit for human habitation and i think that you know this terrible incident just you know raises more questions and more anger about why we have a government why we have a system of parliament that isn't representative of people who go to the film because of course again and again even just after the aftermath. when the.
10:11 am
still raging we were told not to politicize it. was the conservative and labor policy of right to buy so popular and yet so much part of the current housing crisis in britain i think it was popular because you know working class people like anyone else wanted to own their own homes and there's nothing wrong with wanting to own your own home you know it's a desire that goes back years and years and years and so the right to buy in principle wasn't a bad idea but the problem was they didn't replace like for like i think that you said that they would be in every place too for everyone they didn't even do one for one and so you know that goes into the blair and brown administrations as well in the combined period of thirteen years of new labor they've built fewer houses in total than thatcher's government averaged every year so it's it's an issue across both parties and it's a policy now i think needs to end because we do have a housing shortage you know we do have problems with council housing but continuing to sell off that stock and not replace it is just senseless and you tackle the
10:12 am
issue of labor councils up and down the country blaming not councils blaming so. government for. housing strong yeah i mean that's the thing i mean it's very it's very easy to blame central government and say this all comes down from the state local authority to have to be a bit smarter i mean obviously their budgets have really been cut to the bone you know announcing things as in the case of lambeth council where they announced the demolition of pressing gardens on twitter you know that's not very clever and i was actually deeply insensitive is actually an offensive so you know not only do councils have to communicate better but they need to explain why they do in these three developments and you know working with property developers is always a very murky area because at the bottom the bottom line for a bob is profit but why do you think you'd like to subsidise movies as a way to make housing more equitable gets gore and common currency in media and
10:13 am
yet in your film it comes out. all it does is to make housing more on affordable council housing did used to be a permanent safe secure home you know in the fifty's and sixty's my family when they got council housing they were proud of it they lived in they knew it was their home for life but the problem is now you know with the housing and planning out there are going to be no more you know last time tendencies you see in the film that when a person dies in social housing it's a requirement to just sell it on to the private sector yeah that's part of the new house and i'm not sure we see with that's going to be the case for you jamie solicitor from st james who appears in the film as doc is of the view that a lot of that policy may or may not actually be in force i mean there are still campaigns to try and repeal that so i think we're still in very early days but what it can do in principle is bad enough i think that in the film you talk about social stigma or a bit like in rio's village people don't admit to living in social housing so.
10:14 am
polarized is this class in britain yeah there's a lot of stigmatized around it and you know that comes from the media it comes to. t.v. programs poverty point shows where you know council tenants are depicted is on benefits that depicted as somehow being as stupid and that's not the case you know some of our brightest minds and people came from council house in town. it's actually the social problems created by a society by system of government the problem but when it comes to who the government listens to in your film it appears the. very very rich state agencies recommend to the government policies like destroying four hundred thousand special housing homes and the government listens to reports coming from estate agents that that will win from that pool of yemen i think there was a report from samples that came out and it was any day i think they put a figure on someone's worth in london i think you've got to be earning about
10:15 am
seventy thousand pounds to be worth your spot in london that was the average figure you know i don't know too many people that much money and so what you have then is the colonize ation of space you have and the idea that to be in the city you have to justify your place here by earning a certain amount of money which means you can afford to pass or rent or mortgage and also spend this much on you know what is the london economy and that's you know that's just it's nonsense isn't it. your film outlines how areas are socially cleansed. initially we heard that there would be real housing there for the survivors of the greenfield tragedy the latest i think is the will to resume said in london nash is saying that boras or neighboring bar is how do you think i do in policy makers are given we have to hold them to account and if they've moved some residence into some nearby luxury apartments which have a concierge service which have a gymnasium and simple on the people that move into that property to get those
10:16 am
services i mean whether they're in a separate section i don't know whether there think there will be a separate. so-called affordable housing just describe what a poor door is yes i mean a poor door. and luxury apartments which is where the social rent tenants leave in and there are all sorts of reasons for that used to justify it. part of the agreement with the builder is that they'll only make a certain amount of social rents available if there is a separate and it also reduces the cost down for everybody so you can argue economically that you know there is a reason for it but then on the other side of it you can look at it as being a systematic microcosm of our society that the rich going one way the poor leave another one and then you've got you know two people that were in the press complaining about the price of property complain about how they've worked so hard and now they're going to have to mix with you know all of these you know working
10:17 am
class people and i despair you really despair and it just shows you where we've got to where we've sunk to as a society because you know we're all culpable in this as a society we all need to actually take responsibility and if we don't have those fears challenge those fees. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of this season will be back with all new episodes are going on the ground on wednesday the seventeenth of january children by social media have a happy. yao's
10:18 am
