BEMMY BUSINESS AS USUAL

‘Bedminster Green-Wash’ development? What a palaver.

Bedminster hell site

A mortgage lender to the Bemmy student hell site project, Shawbrook, has been ordered by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) to repay £100 million fiddled from vulnerable pensioners who unsuspectingly invested in non-existent time-share properties. That figure could exponentially multiply next year following the conclusion of the FCA investigation.

Described as ‘local’ by the Bristol Post, Shawbrook’s HQ is in London and their parent company’s HQs are in New York and Berlin. Luxury holiday resorts in the Canaries, unfamiliar to the majority of Bedminster dwellers, were used to lure elderly investors and steal their money after a life-time of labour.

Not content with the constant pounding of pneumatic jackhammers and drills from dawn ‘til dusk, the chopping down of our trees and the persistent ‘beep-beep’ of vehicles reversing all day. These fuckers robbed our Nans and Granfers to prop up Bristol University.

Imagine this happening in Westbury-On-Trym.

Shawbrook ‘shank-um’ redemption

Or Green-wash, rinse, repeat.

Remember the global economic crash of 2008 when American banks deliberately lent mortgages to folks they very well knew couldn’t repay? Ooh! The ecstasy of home ownership

Of course we do… It’s the reason we’re in the shit we are now. Despite us bailing banks out with our taxes and suffering two decades of sub-standard public services through austerity policies.

One of Bemmy Greens’ development mortgage lenders, ‘Shawbrooks’ has again been slammed by the Financial Conduct Authority for lacklustre scrutiny on their terms for loans to the self-employed. For, you guessed it… home ownership!

These crooks were exposed in the last ‘Bristolian’ as fraudsters to the tune of at least £100 million.

Is  there no end to the tenacity of these city council sanctioned developers?
