Stop voting in lying bastards? If they are voted in, stricter process and protocol to prevent them to awarding lucrative dodgy contracts to families, friends and donors. That should cover it easy. Do you think rapists should walk free?
Okay you've simply reworded the problem, rather than offering an actual solution, so who are you suggesting people should vote for, and how do you expect them to resolve the issues?
Not reworded, it’s a simple explanation due to the person I was responding to. If there was a crack down on iffy government contracts the money would be there, simple. What’s your opinion on the Torys not delivering yet another promise and rapists walking free?
He hasn't even got his foot in the door & he's gone full Communist dictator. Sir Rodney doesn't care if your leafy unspoilt village with zero crime & social cohesion doesn't want urban housing estates built on them . Diversity is strength bigots just shut up & pay for your replacements from Bongo Bongo land . Luckily for him he's got planning permission to build on his donkey sanctuary & coin it in . He's Nobility serfs & will do what he wants https://www.theguardian.com/politic...tm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTUK_email
Put the goal posts right back where they were. You have simply reworded the problem. Your 'solution' is ideological and long term. What is your suggested immediate solution to the problem that you say exists right here and right now?
He's quite right. I live in one of those idyllic leafy villages. The local nursery ( flowers not kids) shut down. An application went in for eight semi detached houses on the site. There were myriad objections and one in support ( me, naturally) The application fitted policy perfectly as it was classed as brownfield. The scheme went ahead and six have been completed and sold at around £400k. The objectors are perfectly happy they are totally unaffected. Typical NIMBY ism.
It's another one where I don't think he's altogether wrong. The term 'green belt' has been rephrased and misused over the years, which has meant land that isn't exactly green or serving any real purpose is just left empty at the expense of land that could be better used. The green belts were originally aimed not at being areas of environmental pasture or being aesthetically pleasing in themselves, but simply a way of stopping urban sprawl. I've read some reports that claim the green belt around London is 3 times the size of London itself.
There will be at least a million net migrants a year if Starmer gets in & he will bend over & take his fair share of EUROPEAN UNION sanctioned illegals plus anyone else that will vote Labour, relax freedom of movement from Shengen zone, chain migration etc etc. You can't be serious about carbon footprints if you import millions of extra people & cut down trees .
I'm not sure where the footprint bit came in, but I agree with the general points. I was agreeing with Keith's comments about building, but that didn't touch on the reasons why it may be needed.
The 300 k homes aren't for us , they are for the marginalised people with protected characteristics, I know someone that signed up for social housing & were told it's at least 10 years wait & each day they get put lower on the list as more people flood in. Starmer's solution to illegal boat crossings is to ship them over ourselves & process them all here , his solution to spending billions on hotels for them is to simply build them houses . No limits , no quota , just keep flooding into France we'll pick you up & build houses for you . It's all free , apart from the mega bucks contracts handed out to property developers. Forcibly remove property & land from British people under compulsory purchase agreements to house Africa & the third World.
Talking of Walter Mitty not heard any stories of how much petrol costs driving to France recently, the African carer that used to clean him up after soiling the bed had a French accent so in his poor senile dementia riddled brain he though he was in Monaco
The Labour share of the vote went up because the other party’s vote share fell by more than that of Labour, which also fell. So you really do think that all those Labour big names going up to Jockshire got all but six per cent of the entire Labour vote to turn out when overall turnout was 37 per cent, down from over 60 per cent? Strange that I read that former Tory minister Anna Soubry has declared that she is going to vote Labour at the next election but you cannot believe that any Tories in Jockshire would vote for any candidate that is going to stop the SNP. You have not been a brain dead imbecile all your life because you are not dead yet.
The carbon Zero death cultists don't believe in having children because they are extra carbon footprint users . That includes concrete , bricks, energy more cars more consumption of everything even water food & breathing. So importing millions of extra carbon consumers by their logic will obviously put a greater strain on the planet. Which proves it's just about control & taxing us rather than making Britain s greener cleaner country .
