Southwark ignored their own failings and refused to accept their responsibility in favour of making a PC statement to ensure no one was harmed by ‘offensive words’ They replied to Mr Bleach and said they would BLOCK his account if he used repeated “inappropriate and offensive language.”Hi @lb_southwark I was taking my children to there mums house in taplow estate Aylesbury, Where is your clean up teams?????#Disgraceful #southwarkcouncil pic.twitter.com/Bs2WmhAuMn — 2323 (@dcb2323) October 18, 2018
Twitter users hit back at the jobsworth council worker behind the account with one user writing: “You’re more upset about the language than the fact young kids could pick up the used needles. One day the Revolution will come and the guillotine will be built”.@lb_southwark council just threatened to BLOCK a father who complained about dirty needles his young kids had to walk past… they told him not to use “offensive” language. Britain, we have reached PEAK PC madness. Deal with the REAL issue you complete and utter morons. ?♂️? https://t.co/0NIsgRfngk — Jordan James (@mrjordanjames_) October 18, 2018

As Dan arrived to do the School run this morning, more than 16 hours after making his complaint – the dirty needles are still there, with more young children at risk. It’s not the first time the council has been criticised over shocking living conditions on the Aylesbury. In 2017 property expert Phil Spencer blasted the council when he filmed on the Aylesbury Estate after a couple exposed shocking living conditions. The property expert was on hand to help out families who have been forced into homelessness in no circumstances of their own. He said: “Not only is it completely unbelievable, it’s also completely unacceptable… “This is a lot worse than I expected. “This is a really hardworking couple, they’re doing everything right. “They’re going to work, they’re paying their taxes, and yet this accommodation – it’s awful!” Southwark Council failed to respond to requests for comment.? the fucking knobs have blocked me! Makes me more determined to spread this even more ? pic.twitter.com/bCH0y77dwC — ??DEADFOOL (@DEAD4OOL) October 19, 2018
