How about setting up a fund to pay an inquiry agent to find out? I'll bung in a few quid. ;-) 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. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

The Makitas would be a good idea anyway. The homless situation has changed little, 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. |

"Andy Hall" wrote in message 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, |

"Andy Hall" wrote in message In fact 84% of people are against green belt reduction From the BBC web site: snip drivel 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. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

Rod Bull, Birmingham, UK 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. |
