London Centric has learned that in the coming weeks the Aziz family’s Criterion Capital business intends to remove hundreds of Londoners – including some marking the month of Ramadan – from their homes. These mass “no-fault” evictions of private tenants, which sources say are planned to be finished before the government’s Renters’ Rights Act comes into effect, are taking place on an unprecedented scale.

Philanthropist means stealing 10 million from the needy, and having someone else donate 1 million in your name to an organisation controlled by yourself, using 99% of the money on "administration" costs, and then giving a childrens hospital whatever secondhand clothes you can scrounge up for the rest.
