Fire Alarms and Body Bags

George and Diane have spent the week settling into their new property, owned by by The Baron Homes Corporation. Compared to other properties owned by the same firm, which I hope and trust will one day lose its seemingly impeccable reputation in Brighton, it is okay. George is a little worried that there may be a used syringe hiding in the side of the sofa because he got pricked when he ran his hands down the couch to look for something that had dropped down there.

Aside from that though, from what I hear of other accommodation ran by The Baron Homes Corporation, or Baron Estates, who have another office in 121 Park Lane, Mayfair, this emergency temporary accommodation isn't too bad.

The fire alarm doesn't stop at night, by the way. When George and Diane make noise it is called noise pollution. When Baron Homes make noise I guess that isn't noise pollution. In many residences people form housing associations to complain when nothing gets done about such things. People at George and Diane's residences seem not to make too much fuss. Perhaps it is because they know that if they speak out, they will be on the streets. I guess that is difference between being rich or poor.

Baron Homes's Princes House: Luxury for those London commuters

This week another body bag was taken away from 17/19 Grand Parade, I hear. I'm starting to wonder whether Baron Homes aren't running Brighton's second abortion clinic. According to the highly readable local Government accounts site, Openly Local, The Baron Homes Corporation Ltd are recipients of, on average, £99,346 worth of housing benefits a month. Annually, they therefore receive, on average,£1,192,152 from Brighton and Hove City Council, for their services. It isn't enough money to fix a fire alarm. It does, however, cover, over several years, the purchase of Princes House, the luxury penthouse flats selling for £600,000 each and Regents Arcade, which they purchased for £10 million in 2004.

Baron Homes's luxurious £700,000 penthouses

I read recently that Richard Blencowe, Director died last year. His funeral was at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Hove.

How much he must be missed and mourned by the poor of Brighton. O, how he loved them!

How dreadfully sad that he didn't invest as much time, energy and money into 17/19 Grand Parade, where the poor dwell in abject misery, as he did in his other investments, such as the acqusition of Princes House for London commuters and second-homers.

Nazila Blencowe, who has apparently returned to Brighton after some time in Beverley Hills is Director of The Baron Homes Corporation Ltd. It is a "family business" apparently. Michael Blencowe is Director of Baron Estates. It is a dreadful thing to steal from the poor and to profit from their misery in order to feed your infernal avarice. It appears that, as yet, Nazila and Michael have not learned, unlike Richard will have, that all the riches you acquire through the oppression of the poor in this life are as transient as the lives and the sufferings of the poor from whom you stole.

As this post creeps up the Google search engine, hopefully some fire alarms will be ringing in the offices of Baron Estates. It is, I think you will agree from this, about time, though maybe not, because I doubt there is any water pouring through the roof of Princes House, and as long as that investment is going smoothly, that is the main thing isn't it Nazila?
