Why the super rich are FLEEING Knightsbridge: Elite West London residents reveal their mansions have dropped £1million in value in just 7 years due to Labour tax raids and rampant crime

Residents in one of London's most exclusive neighbourhoods say their properties are 'unsellable' and are fleeing the area due to Labour's tax raids and out of control crime with 'mugging gangs' and Rolex rippers roaming the streets unchecked.

Multi-million pound mansions and townhouses on the wide leafy lanes of Knightsbridge and Kensington have fallen in value and are at the lowest levels for 15 years.

Since 2018, house prices in Knightsbridge alone have dropped by over a million pounds, costing on average just £2.6 million today.

No desire to visit Europe again. Was there for the first time in the late ‘90’s, pre-Euro, and it was wonderful. A few trips since, each time getting worse. Last was two years ago, to London, and it was utterly depressing. No England anymore; no Europe anymore. ‘Refugees’ everywhere, with the locals hollowed out and demoralized.

This appears to be another example of the Curley Effect.

I had always read about the economic destruction caused by post-war Labor in the UK, but it didn’t hit home until I visited Montreux, Switzerland - which became an expat home for the likes of Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury/Queen, Ozzy Osbourne, and others

Young, stupid me just thought it was a nice, scenic place where leftist / liberal rock-n-rollers wanted to hang out with each other

Someone/something there explained in absolute clarity (it may have been been an exhibit in the Queen Museum), about UK tax rates, and the specific decisions made by wealthy rock-n-rolllers to leave the UK.

Hindustan own most of London now.

According to Tommy Robinson, Indians (Hindu faith) are not the problem. He said that they're hard-working and contributes to society.

Now imagine an entire country being subjected to the “Curley Effect.”

Just horrible. God bless this fatherless child:


This week Blue Stevens, 26, died after being knifed outside the £1,650-a-night 5-star
Park Tower Hotel and Casino in Knightsbridge
