What does the owner's heritage have to do with this? I ask because of the times we're living in. Wouldn't it be enough to just say it's been vacant from the current owner for x years?

Really? I seriously spent an hour writing about Tom's neighborhood and explaining council housing in a way that is somewhat understandable and THAT is what was taken out of it?

Short answer: because he's from the Middle East

Long answer: To show that not only does Tom (who we often refer to as being "British") NOT own the property, but that the most recent owner isn't even British (so he can't argue that it's just an assumed name or some shit). 

There are many articles about the non-British family that owned it and what happened to them. They granted many interviews. They're very wealthy, they're quite well known, and they've been very vocal about their experience there.

Yup.  Crumple them up first, they get softer. 
Question to you UK’ers.  What is the 100 year lease thing?   For example, you buy a flat in London. You pay big bucks, but only have 27 or whatever years.  Does this mean you lose your home?

You lease the land the house is on. You don't lose your house at the end of it, just sign a new lease. Obviously the terms are likely to change, so longer lease left is preferred when buying a place.

They're very defensive about anyone suggesting that they live in a council house. 😋

Tom's mom posted this pic on her IG and his sister Emma immediately pointed out that it isn't a council house. 

They're very proud of their door knocker because it's the same one as Number 10 Downing...... who knew there was such a thing as DOOR KNOCKER fame?  😂

She often points out that they own a vacation home in Gran Canaria.... that's probably where Tom got the idea about taking Darcey on a private yacht in Gran Canaria.... turns out the "yacht" was a busted down shack.

Jaynie (Tom's mom) also posted a pic of Fernando (Tom's dad) all buddy buddy with David Gest because any fame is good fame.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree...

 

 

They're defensive about it and yet... Have they forgotten that they have neighbors who know exactly where they live? It's a nice estate, it's a nice house. My in-laws are upper middle class and they live in one as well. If you click on the link I posted above you can see a myriad of other houses on their estate that are also nice places. 

There's no more shame in living in a council estate than there is in living in a middle class subdivision here. The shame is in pretending to be something you're not. (And in stealing pictures of other people's things and pretending they're yours.)

Thank you!

So Tom, who claims to be very wealthy - how does that jive with him and his family living in council housing? Do fabulously wealthy people (or even just plain vanilla upper class people) live in council houses and just pay higher rent to the government?

Yeah, kind of. My sister-in-law's place is a townhouse (2 floors, 2 bedrooms) and her rent is based on her income. It's comparable to income based apartments here. My in-laws (husband's aunt and uncle) live near Tom's family. They're retired. They'd be considered upper middle class. When they sold their home they moved to the estate and they pay around $1200 a month for their "cottage." Theirs is NOT based on income, though, because their retirement is above the threshold. So they more or less pay market value. It's a good sized place, very nice. Not every council house is eligible for income-based tenants. My SIL, for instance, couldn't live there. Just because it's council housing doesn't mean it's available for low income dwellers. 

Clifton Village is an offshoot of Nottingham proper, so you get more house for your money.

I took it to mean that the owner was from outside the UK and didn't spend much, if any, time there. There are many communities where international investors buy property but don't live there and don't really maintain the property. I suppose "absentee owner" would say the same thing, but I didn't take it as a slight to people from the Middle East.

I cannot find the interview that is being referenced, but apparently Tom is claiming he was talking to Darcey when he was drunk and agreed to be on the show, but he didn't know what the show was or that it was about getting married, he just thought it was about meeting someone for the first time.

Once you unroll your eyes from that asinine claim, he further claims he is trying to get on Dancing with the Stars. Another comment said he hadn't actually said he applied for the show, just that he wanted to be on it, and I can't find the interview to listen for myself and make a determination.

I'd be shocked to find out he hasn't applied for every type of show he can.

He could eat his way onto My 600 Pound Life. Dr. Now could inquire about his eating habit and call him out for lying. Or he could marry Darcey and a couple of other people and be the new Kody for Sister Wives. He just needs to be a little more out of the box in his thinking.

He could commit a crime or marry a convict and get on love after lockup.

He could marry Darcey, Stacey and Raina and two of the sister wives could really be sisters (although I think that has already happened in the history of polygamy)

I believe that at least two of the Beatles grew up in council housing and they're not ashamed of that.  Of course, they then worked and made opportunities for their lives.  So, Tom, there you go-get working at something other than 90 days...

The 'are you sitting comfortably' sounds right out of Doesn't Really Matter by Platinum Blonde.

This Reddit thread has some great poems.

Examples:

Quote

1. Roses are red Violets are blue Jesse is a douche And so are you.
    
2. Roses are red, Their thorns sometimes prick You’re a deplorable human And a massive dick.
    
3. How are you, Darcy? 
   I love you like my sister. 
   Have you put on weight? 
   — a Haiku by Tom.
    
4. “I know I was arsey
   When I was with Darcey.
   I would ask her to dance
   If she gave one more chance.
   She is my Pass
   To becoming Fame-as . . . “
    
5. Roses are red, violets are blue, if we went to Gran Canaria, I would have married you.

6. There once was a man named Tom,
   Who lived at home with his mom.
   No man had a greater thirst,
   On the Douche List he won first;
   A title he carries with aplomb

My current favorite is number six above, but they keep coming.

Ringo for sure and I believe John.

George was from a little wealthier family and he actually flew as a teenager to the United States to visit his sister in Illinois just months before the Beatles became famous.

Tom needs to be careful with the poetry "he" is writing.  Plagiarism is easier to track down, thanks to the internet.

I bet if he DID write poetry, it's all free verse with no rhymes.  Just deep thoughts.  Given what we've seen of his personality, they're not REAL deep, though.

I didn’t realize that you wrote poetry.  I didn’t realize you wrote such bloody awful poetry.

My guess is she had to fly first class because she couldn’t fit into the smaller seats.

Tom’s poetry book? Yeah, I’ll pass. I hate poetry to begin with. And I’ve had enough smug self-indulgence to last me a lifetime. Does he include directions to read it at a 45 degree angle?

John Yates, who really hates Tom, has posted a poem on his Instagram. I think that is the direct link. His account is private so I can't see it, but this is apparently what it says: (the formatting on the copy job was terrible so I tried to clean it up a bit)

Quote

johnyates327tv - Tom’s real letter to Darcey courtesy of his new unpublished book of poetry:

The Ten Things I Hate About Darcey

I hate the way you talk to me and I hate your added hair.

I hate the way you didn’t kiss me at brunch I hate the way you stared.

I hate that you’re the star of the show and I’m always left behind -

I hate that you can always see through my shit and always read my mind.

I hate that you’re so smoking hot and I’m just a loser fraudulent thot.

I hate that I screwed myself from the mansion that I pretended to have but people know it’s not.

I hate that you’re no longer around and I have to kiss my other castmates ass.

I hate that my only friend is Ashley no one can stand that lying trash.

I hate the way I come off now because I asked about your weight.

I hate that people can see who I am as a person - a creepy bad first date.

But mostly I hate the way I had to suck the teet of this show for fame - but now people know who I am - the revolting Tom Brooks who’s lame.

She also answered a fan question in a way that came across to me in a very mature way. It may be from the third part of the Tell Nothing that I haven't seen.

Tom doesn't just "write" anything, he "PENS" it, like he oh so pretentiously claimed about the letter. I see he's back for the Strikes Back special. Please please please promise me this will absolutely be the last time Tom, Darcey, Stacey or Jesse are on my TV!

He lost any credibility with me as a writer, or even educated, by the misuse of  "your" and "who's". I hope he has a proofreader for his book! 

"According to Soap Dirt, [Florian] Sukaj may have been caught cheating on Stacey Silva, Darcey Silva’s twin sister. Brooks took to his stories to call out Sukaj, posting two photos of Sukaj in bed with another woman. 

He wrote on one, “That’s not Stacey, is it?” On the other, he wrote, “Who’s bed is this? Call me out yet your doing the same thing lol [sic].”
