If anyone here lives in the UK, do me a favor...

Punch out the assholes responsible for tearing the Carlton Tavern down. Those cunts deserve jail time.

Oh and if you live in Israel, please break the legs of the CEO of CLTX Ltd. They're the owners of the Carlton Tavern (bought it last year), and responsible for the demolition of the tavern, which survived WW2 (the tavern was built in the 1920's).

And kill Ayotnom.

What the hell...
It always makes me sad to see historic pubs get changed but destroyed is a whole new level.

 

[Trick Shot Bob]

Unfortunately developers have gotten away with tactics like this in the past, good to see councils standing firm on this.

also, if someone could punch Piers Morgan really hard in the middle of the face, that would be good

Seconded. Smarmy douche.

 

[Willem Default]

Not much we can do really. Like Trick Shot Bob said, it's good to see Westminster City Council standing firm and seeking further possible legal action, but that's pretty much all we can do to hold them accountable. I doubt we'll see it rebuilt, more likely the landlord will receive compensation from the developers in an out of court settlement.

Even though they may be forced to rebuild it the reason for knocking it down was to prevent it from becoming a listed historical property (I think, haven't looked too deeply) which would keep them from demoing it in the future.
By destroying and fixing it now they can actually tear it down much easier later on (if the rambling in the comments section of imgur is to be trusted)

 

[WarrenPeace]

That's kind of sickening. The fact that they'll likely get away with it through some kind of legal chicanery makes it even worse. I hate seeing historical artifacts and locations destroyed, especially when it's with malice aforethought.

 

[Jhonon1]

Agreed. I can only hope they force its restoration and continued preservation, perhaps the UK has an eminent domain clause that would be suitable?

 

[K1NG]

Seconded. Smarmy douche.

Lol we offloaded him to you guys years ago. He's your little shit now. No take backs!

He is still a British national, and therefore your goddamn responsibility. :p

Well yes but we did one of our historical moves and shipped all our problems out to the colonies. Out of sight out of mind.

 

[K1NG]

You send us all sorts of stupid people, you don't see us calling you guys up to pick up after them

He's got us there. LOL at Madonna's fake, wannabe British accent.

l
Pub must be rebuilt brick by brick, orders council, after developers tore it down to build flats

 

[thanatos73]

If this happens that would be sweet.

Since when did we ever take responsibility for any of our nationals??
