gonzo Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Id rather us stop immigration than start building on green belts tbh. Quote
Duck Egg Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 There's huge swathes of brown belt around Bolton Town centre. Places that had shops and businesses in the past but are never likely to again. Bradshawgate & Churchgate. It looks like they're building houses down near what was Noble house. Quote
Winchester White Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Town centres are dying on their arse. Absolutely loads of land for councils to build decent quality houses/flats/apartments that could revive towns across the country. Quote
Spider Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Squid Javid saying the NHS is “unsustainable” now. Despite all the extra money and all the new hospitals and all the new staff that are definitely on the way. Another Brexit benefit They just keep coming Quote

Doctors and nurses are leaving in droves. Why would you stay when the bosses won’t even speak to you for months and then make a derisory pay offer. There has been no serious attempt by this government to improve pay and conditions, just empty words. Quote

The current Government doesn't want to improve anything, run it into the ground, say that it's unsustainable, and then sell it off. That's the end game Quote

I'm sure they could have given it a better title - its basically organising training and updates on policy. Hence why no one else wanted the role. Quote

It'd be too big a reform, and the MPs of course have to vote it through (turkeys and Christmas spring to mind) Quote

To be honest, I'm surprised that Coutts have broken cover, I'd have thought they'd have kept quiet about it, but I'm glad they've not. I said a bit further back, that I'd not be overly surprised if he was making it all up to garner further attention, he's clearly not totally made it up......but he's also been, it seems, very liberal with the facts that he's presented. I fancy the "he's been turned down by 9 other banks" is probably a massive pile of bollocks though Quote
