Crooked House owners propose rebuilding pub in different place

1. > it said the current location was “not viable” for a pub

   Funny that the building was open as a pub where it was, then, isn’t it?

   This is still patently obvious as the owners wanting to repurpose that land for something else and doing all they can to get out of the fact they owned a listed building there.

2. They can fuck right off. They should be in prison, so maybe try to build it there?

3. Fuck off. Make them build it exactly where it stood, with exactly the same degree of crookedness. Make an example of money grubbing chancers like this who think they can get away with bulldozing our heritage and community spaces for a few extra quid.

4. Are they legally forced to?

   Like with that other pub?

5. The gall of saying such suggestion especially whilst under investigation.

   I suspect most owners of a historic venue which experienced a suspicious arson attack and knocked down within 48 hours with fortunately ordered machinery before the fire would be eager for the return of their pub.

6. If it wasn’t viable to run they shouldn’t have bought it. They are simply making themselves look even more guilty by claiming this and wanting to earn more money from it. 
   The reason they are being forced to rebuild it isn’t in order to make them more money – it’s a punishment for illegally demolishing the building.

7. No fuckoff and rebuild it you cunts. Or go to jail. Sick off this crap. How do they always get away with it?

8. So what they are saying is. Can we build it somewhere else. And go ahead with what we wanted to build on the land it once stood on, before we burned the pub and knock it down. Then we get what we want, and you get what you want. Then we will sell the pub.

9. If they can’t put it back exactly how it was, then jail them. Take the land off them and hire an architect to do it properly.

10. With refusal for planning permission in the old site, for 100 years

11. Hoping they’re forced to build 2 copies of the pub: one at the original location and another at a location of their choosing.
