How Property Developers Wage War on the Working Class
Manage episode 307279912 series 2865379
It's the swimming pool in the sky: the so called 'Sky Pool' in Nine Elms, south London, which wowed the media but which sums up the inequality ravaging British society. This community provided the perfect opportunity to help tackle London's housing crisis - but instead it was handed to property developers to build luxury flats for the elite. This is a story about how settled working class communities are being torn apart by greed. But those working class voices have been erased from the conversation: in this documentary, we hand them the megaphone.
