No. I am too much of an individualist and this smacks of

Your "logic" is rather like asking people to vote in a referendum.
Keep asking them until they give you the answer you want..

Really not very convincing, and most people can see through it.


They are so indoctrinated that they think half the country is
paved. Well your sycophantic ways would to keep the stinking landowning

More to do with democracy I would say.

I imagine that

Still brainwashed by Thatcher and the Tory party aren't you. The Tory party
has nothing to give 95% of the people of this country whatsoever.


Interesting observation since Tony Blurr has policies that are
regularly to the right of the good Baroness.



We could all vote for them again, and have all those people living on the
streets and mass poverty again. ..and have them issue free Makita's to
Little Middle Englanders to put up high fences so they can't see the council
houses.


The Makitas would be a good idea anyway. The homless situation has
changed little, probably because the homeless have been convinced that
a quick and short term fix with three year warranty is the way to go.

It never is.

You don't need to. A slow Google will reveal all!

Do it

out the bugger

There are strange lunatics here. I couldn't be bothered about someone

else.
You are one of those pathetic types that stands out all night to watch

the Queen
the next day.


So you admit to being selfish.


No. I'm not selfish.


But by your definition, individualism is an anathema. you can't have
it both ways.

I'm an individualist and feel that people should be responsible for
themselves. If, and only if that is exhausted, there could be a
discussion involving the state, but only then.

Your ethos appears to be opposed to that.


You don't like the idea of
organisations, trade bodies and centres
of excellence, believing that
these are unqualified (even thiough you
are unqualified yourself).


Great in theory, but far too many are self interest groups.


Exactly... like any form of organised labour arrangement.
Fundamentally it doesn't work.



I am shocked. I thought that you
were a good socialist.


I am Mr Citizen himself.


Citizen Smith? Didn't he have pictures of Che on his wall?




Clearly some animals are more equal
than others.


Like snakes?


Especially snakes. They go about their business and one knows
exactly where one is.... A tip though. Don't kiss them.



I'm devasted at how you've
let down the Politburo.
Lenin would turn in his tomb and Henry
wotsisname would wet his armchair.


The Tory red under the bed brainwashing is surfacing.


Not really. I can remember the films of Brezhnev standing on top of
Lenin's tomb in Red Square for the May Day parades as the soldiers
marched by alongside the missile launchers. It was real
showmanship. I visited Moscow not long ago and the seven illuminated
and revolving red stars on the Kremlin have been joined by an eighth
on another building belonging to Mercedes.
Lenin's tomb is diminutive and in the corner of the square, with the
GUM store being far more siginificant. In past times, this was
restricted to the animals who were more equal than others. Nowadays
it is not significant.

The realism of the free market has replaced the nonsense.



Her Majesty is not amused.


I would have them totally gone and then most of us can be amused.


Rather difficult since you are not a CORGI

In fact though, more than half the population support the concept and
practice of the monarchy.

You are in cloud cuckoo land.

Now the silly BBC article, with me putting them right:


The Tories are accusing ministers of turning the green belt into an "elastic
band" as a study suggests 84% of people oppose building on undeveloped land.


Where are people to live then? Boy some people are stupid.


Mori interviewed 931 people in England between 30 June and 4 July 2005 for
the Campaign to Protect Rural England.


Wow! 931 people out of 60 million. Campaign to Protect Rural England is a
landowners self interest group. Large landowners formed it.


The results are revealed on the 50th anniversary of the first government
circular telling councils to look at designating areas of green belt land.
But ministers insist the green belt is being "maintained and increased".
They say there are controls to stop inappropriate development in green belt
areas.
Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) head of planning Henry Oliver said
it was "under threat as never before".


The Green Belt is a nonsense, and curtails growth of communities.


He blamed "government plans for massive housing growth" in south-east
England,


Where the f**k are we going to live?


"speculators selling plots to gullible investors for silly prices way above
agricultural value", and proposed new roads and airport runways.


Free up all land and quick buck merchants and taxpayers subsidised council
estates disappear.


These "cast a concrete blight


"concrete blight" propagada words aimed the hard of thinking. A number of
Green organisations are fronts for rich large landowers too.


over some of the finest countryside within easy reach of big urban areas"
and threatened "to relax the belt that has held the line against urban
sprawl for decades", Mr Oliver added.


People should be living amongst the countryside, not having to bus or drive
into see it. And see it is all you do, as you can't walk on it.


"Green belts need to be resolutely defended from these threats, yet even
professional planners, who should be their strongest defenders, sometimes
scoff at green belts as too simple and too restrictive to be a proper
planning tool.


The above is very correct.


"They and the government need to listen to the vast majority of people, who
as our poll shows, are green belt fans."


The government should tell the people the real truth about land, its: usage,
ownership, access, economic benefits, biggest benefactors of the land,etc,
etc.


CPRE members will walk London's green belt on 21 August.
In September, they will cycle through the West Midlands, Gloucester,
Cheltenham, Cambridge, Oxford and London green belts.


Silly pillocks.


The government says the total area of green belt land in England has
increased by about 19,000 hectares (47,000 acres) since 1997, with about a
further potential 12,000 hectares (29,640 acres) proposed in emerging local
plans.


Most of the Green Belt is not public land. It is NOT accessible by the
public. The Green Belt might be a good idea if it was fully open heathland
with full access by the public. It is clearly not, so worth anything to
anybody. All town and city dwellers can do is drive through it on A roads
and look from the windows of the vehicles. The Green Belt is a waste of
time.


"Nationally, a record 70% of all new building is now on brown-field land
compared with 56% in 1997.


The above is disgusting. Most of this Brownfield land should be made in to
heath and parks, so people can live amongst nature, not on top of each
other.


'Girdle'
Conservative shadow local government secretary Caroline Spelman said green
belt had increased in areas where there was little development pressure.
But it had been removed in areas of high housing demand, with 2,500 acres of
green belt built over each year.


Great approach.


"The green belt should be a girdle but what we have seen in the last eight
years is that it has been made into an elastic band," she said.


It shouldn't be there in the first place.


Phil Woolas, a minister in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister
spokesman, said 70% of new developments were on previously developed
brownfield sites.
He said: "Our policy is to strengthen the green belt and to ensure that is a
regional criteria, not a national criteria to avoid the problem that there
may be a shift to the other regions outside the South East."


The Home counties are underpopulated - Kate Barkers report.

It's actually very good environmentally. Some brownfield sites are
useful for nature, but many are not.

It is not consistent to be advocating pseudo environmentalism on the
one hand such as inappropriate insulation that makes little
difference, while on the other to be suggesting use of natural
environment for building.

....plus VAT, which means you will be pay closer to £300, then the

combi's are not that much more expensive, and do not put out 44.8 dBA @

Give the cost of a combi or combis to give 34 litres per minute at a
constant 60C under *all* conditions - if you actually have 4.75 bar mains
pressure, which is very unlikely. And the cost of upgrading the gas and
water mains to make this possible.

Since you're now into bar room betting, it would be interesting to find
out what you actually know.

Just got my '85 Vitesse back from the body shop after a complete respray.
And despite the reputation for rust, all that needed replacing were a
couple of door skins, and that through poorly repaired damage. And it's
lived outside since I bought in in '87. Will take a week to put all the
trim back on, though. ;-) But it looks stunning, although the bonnet will
have to be painted again. Fish eyes everywhere. ;-)

BMW for me nowadays


Me too, for the everyday car. Couldn't be doing with a so called economy
car like the Prius that looks ridiculous and only does 23 mpg when
pressed. And less than my 150mph car at a constant 70 or so. In town, I
use public transport.

Maxie, I know you were outed, with your frock wearing. up trees, on beaches,
Morris Dancing and swearing in Watford town centre.

Maxie?

You are no more than a source of noise and waste of bandwidth here


Maxie, I don't swear here, I just wax lyrical. Do you have snakes too?

Nothing naff about it. It's a car, it's a comfortable ride, and it goes,
it does about 130mph which is fast enough for me

How Essex.


Why are you such a dickhead?

It's never broken down on me, neither did my previous BMW

The only reason you seem to frequent this NG is to impress people with
your "knowledge" (and fail miserably) or e.g. the cars you claim to have
(although you seem incapable of answering questions about them that any
owner should know)

want to hide from getting work from his postings here and elsewhere. If he

As if.

In fact 84% of people are against green belt reduction


From the BBC web site:


Living in the single most densely populated state in the US, New Jersey, I
have still managed to find a home in a rural area and for the first time in
my life, I am enjoying the stress free, noise free, pollution free
environment that so many people who are tired of the cities and suburbs
crave. The single-minded preservation of all undeveloped land as a
sacrosanct tract to be off limits forever to anyone looking for a home is to
condemn them to overcrowded cities where people live on top of each other
and crime is high. In the post-industrial world of the 21st century it is no
longer necessary for people to commute or even visit inner cities any
longer. A policy of rational development on a regional planning basis makes
far more sense and will take pressure off the cities and those who remain in
them.

Mark, USA



The Alps are beautiful and have houses dotted everywhere, so does France, so
does Italy, so does everywhere - what is this phobia some people have with
signs of habitation? What is this masochism that squeezes people into row
upon row of Europe's smallest, ugliest and most expensive houses? The green
belt doesn't need protecting, it needs opening up so that some of us can
breathe!

Douglas, Watford, UK



I'm afraid that there is a lot of hypocrisy about. Organisations like the
CPRE (whose survey this is) represent many people who live in a nice place,
like it and think that no-one else should live there. Those who need a new
house but can't afford one are bottom of their list of concerns. The green
belt should be a moveable boundary.

Rod Bull, Birmingham, UK



Why don't we turn the tide the other way? We could try and make the city
greener with more trees on avenues, window boxes, roof-top gardens and
creeping plants. I love living in London, but why everything has to be
concrete, glass or steel I don't know.

Graham Pilmoor, Watford



Most 'green belt' land is actually some form of managed land and as such not
some form of idyllic nature reserve. A more considered review of our land
and its use might be more appropriate, in conjunction with the scrapping of
farming subsidies, rather than focusing on one narrow issue.

Mark, Stonehouse, Glos



Well, now that most people buy food from abroad, there's no real need for
the land to be retained for agriculture. Why not build on it and create jobs
and new communities? Most people who live in towns and cities have
unrealistic images of 'the countryside' anyway its an industrial, man-made
landscape different in not so many ways from towns themselves.

Andrew, London



Why should a handful of people have a "lovely view" while the rest of us are
crammed in like sardines not able to see any further than the neighbours
that back on to us. Build outwards, reduce density of people and therefore
traffic. There'll be enough green land left after we've taken an extra mile
around the cities, but think of the extra quality of life of the millions
that'll be able to breathe and afford property again. Think of those that
can move closer to the cities due to extra, pleasant, housing and won't have
to drive a 120 mile round trip that they currently endure because of house
prices. It's a positive thing for us and the environment.

Paul, London



Do we want to protect it? As a person whose life is in London, but will, in
all likelihood, never be able to own a home here despite having a reasonable
job, I personally think the green belt could do with a great deal of
reduction. It's ridiculous that we all live cheek by jowl cramped into a
tiny section of this island - and then emerge into large green areas which
hardly seems under threat. Look at an aerial photograph of the UK - it's
green - not urban grey.

Daniel, London



People always talk about urban sprawl, but you don't have to look hard to
see that Britain is still a very green country.

Tom, Brentwood, Essex


etc,
etc,

In fact 84% of people are against green belt reduction

I lived in Britain for nine months and was quite impressed with the
green belt idea. I wish my government had enacted such a scheme to
protect the countryside where I live. Unfortunately, because nothing
has been done to halt 'progress', and because real estate is now so
high, most farmers have already sold their land to developers. There
seems to be no concept of preserving beauty, only a quick means of
obtaining money. Continue the fight to save the green belt in Britain!
B Haley, South Hadley, USA

The greenbelt should not be built upon. Some parts of Hertfordshire
have already become an extension of London - the rest of the county
needs to be protected.
Natalie, Herts

There is plenty of wasted land in cities that can be developed and
existing buildings that could be redeveloped for optimum use, so let's
make use of that instead.
Chris, Dartford, Kent

Why not turn all green belt land control over to the National Trust ?
Trevor Neale, S****horpe, England

Can't believe that this has to be questioned - perhaps a cap should be
put on the amount of people that this island can support before it
becomes completely concrete. So much for this green and pleasant land.
Jackie G, Exeter

The best way to protect green belt land is to simply not allow further
building on it. Renovate older, run down areas, wasteland, abandoned
warehouses, etc. Pull them down and build there, rather than on the
green belt. I like the countryside, and I am fearful that in the
future the entire country will be one huge conurbation, a mega-city.
Keep the green belt!
Jenny, Hull, UK

etc.

Most people no idea of land, its: ownership, usage, economics, how they are
at a disadvantage, etc, etc. If they did they would vote the other way. A
poll from people who are victims of propaganda is not worth a light. This
similar to having a poll in Germany in 1938 of who is the best leader in the
world.

If want to know about these things, just ask me.
