Some divine
retribution?
June 19, 2008.
Dear Editor,
Your article ('MP Buck joins
anti-social housing row', W&V June 13), has a
spokeswoman saying "Dibden House has never been
classed as social housing". I suggest that this is
false; if it is true, on what basis did the parent
housing company, the Genesis Housing Group, buy
these homes from the Church Commissioners using the
Genesis cooperative venture with Grainger, a
company whose shares have just fallen through the
floor.
This may be divine retribution but
it is not sufficient. The Royal Bank of Canada
(Europe) Limited's managing director, Adrian Bell,
is chairman of Genesis. He should order the
repayment to the church of every penny of profit
made from the purchase and subsequent sale of any
of the Church Commissioners homes, but in the end,
we need a public inquiry into the conduct of those
in charge of social housing, the abuses and the
waste.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Rutherford.
