The great myth of urban Britain

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

What proportion of Britain do you reckon is built on? By that I mean covered by buildings, roads, car parks, railways, paths...e 

 

This on the BBC too, pro immigration propaganda, of course people in the building trades dont want to feel guilty about ruining the  countryside, they are just meeting a demand caused by pro immigration government policy.

Maybe Twig wouldnt mind some of the vast expanses of land within 50 miles of him to be turned into Legoland to house half a million immigrants. There's plenty of room here right? Boost the economy. Jobs for the boys. If net migration stays above 200k every single year, like it has for nearly twenty years that should keep a few brickies busy. Its all about trying not to feel guilty about economic growth. Vast acres gone and Barrat shareholders clapping like mad.

My post was nothing to do with immigration / population expansion etc etc ,,,,,but what public perception is of how much land in the UK is built on and it greatly surprises virtually everybody how little it is !!  google it or look on google earth , it is a very green and pleasant land we live in .    there is a lot of development going on near me ( newton abbot in Devon ) and although it does not please me to see it I am aware of just how much land is just grass !!

So what? We don’t NEED to build if we don’t import people! It’s time we put quality of life for natives first. 
 

although too fucking late, the Birmingham type will outbreed us.

Following the damning Sunday Times piece today, would anyone care to offer a defence of Boris Johnson?

The incendiary Times article is behind a paywall so here is a round up of some of the key points:

1)Boris Johnson missed 5 COBRA meetings on the virus
2The Government sent PPE stock abroad
3)Training for key workers postponed for 2+ years
4)Department said lockdown needed 4 weeks before it happened
5)Pandemic plan not implemented properly

Boris Johnson should resign.
Please don't say that Corbyn would be worse.
Starmer has been no opposition to the shitehawks in charge. Seems like he's in favour.

Yawn ? bloody yawn ? 

Mark for once give us a positive and tell us what the answer to all this is in your opinion rather that just pointing out or putting links up to anything that half agrees with how you view tories and Boris.

I like to think I am a pretty good judge of a person, although I have a tendency to be too trusting. I have got no time for Johnson at all, I think he’s a charlatan that doesn’t have the sense of duty to undertake the role he’s in. I don’t doubt his intelligence but I think the whole buffoon thing is part affectation, part consequence of not being interested in any detail that isn’t self-serving.

I posted a link to the Sunday Times article on my Facebook yesterday evening (of which I have a few as FB contacts) and am yet to hear a dickie bird by way of a comment in Boris’ defence.

Initial gloss wearing off??

I’ll give it a punt....

 

Hold on, I don’t need to since it’s ALREADY been comprehensively discredited as total BS:

Even Majeed Narwaz, self declared no fan of the Tories, ripped it to shit on the wireless today. 
 

It’s a crock o shite.

Kevin, despite your geographical handicap, you seem to be an intelligent bloke.
Can you, in all honesty, say that you think that he's acted in a manner that suggests he's the right man for the job?

Not being funny mate, of the 2 of us, I’d suggest you’d have far greater success at the Paralympic Games than I. 
 

Your geographical handicap has resulted in political retardation.
 

How, exactly, do you come to the conclusion that the SoS is in any way responsible for routine, operational planning, procurement and asset management in any way more than the 50,000+ £100,000 salaried ‘managers’ in the NHS. 
 

None so blind as those that will not see. 
 

I’ll agree, he has made a dreadful mistake. 
 

He should have lined up the incompetent bastards and Given the fucking lot their cards.
