Thats not an attempt to take away Free Speech, its trying to cover-up for the incompentence of the Cabinet, haven't you noticed Thor?

What is the point in looking deeper all you will find is a mire of corruption, cronyism, hypocracy and lies. He is in this to make money and he does not care how many die to do it. The litany of things he has done against the average Joe or Jane is vast, it far outweighs any benefits that may have b...

If you take the total death figure, which is around 47,000, that will give a figure of around 18 deaths of people between 40 and 49, not insignificant to the 18 families involved.

How Twee, nothing to say so attack the typing.

I think we all know we are surrounded by craziness and if you think that Trump is a force for good you are included in it.

Mikero

There sure are a lot less average Joes and Janes, about 170,000 of them, since he came to power and projected to reach 250,000 by xmas, thank you Santa Donald.

" When it was taken down it was found that the load bearing walls were cracked and ready to collapse" I have seen the original drawings of Ronan Point ( I was at college with a council quantity surveyor ) and the other blocks on the estate and they show that it was built like a 'house of c...

As most of the Sturgis crowd are well over fifty this really is going to be a last ride for some of them. Even more caziness is the school reopenings this week, already several thousand pupils and staff have put into lockdown as 26 positive cases were found. One student who took a photo of a crowded...

They wont even last that long, I did some work on a house 7 years old last week and there were signs that it was beginning to crumble, not enough cement in the mortar for a start. The main reason for the lack of building control around the time of Ronan Point was that the local authority was riddled...

Yes he has signed executive orders cutting the unemployment relief by 50% and forcing States to agree to pay another $100 or their citizens will get nothing at all. This means States already having to spend their own money to fight the virus will be saddled with even more debt.

“This unraveling presidency began with the Crybaby-in-Chief banging his spoon on his highchair tray to protest a photograph — a photograph — showing that his inauguration crowd the day before had been smaller than the one four years previous. Since then, this weak person’s idea of a strong person, t...

The same thought occured to me Tuffers, if you want councils to build they are going to have to do it on the cheap. All those years ago Ronan Point was another example of cheap design and shoddy building control that killed people.

Mikero

Exactly the 'raw-prawn'.

George Will of the Washington Post:-

"Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying."

I had a studio that I built in someones garden 'grassed' to the planners, I had worked within the constraints for a building not requiring permission, but because the house had been turned into flats it did need permission. A lot of paperwork later and it passed, I did point out to the planning lady...

I checked the figures, of the 216,000 11,000 are council owned properties. Many councils are running incentive schemes to get landlords to refurbish properties put them back on the market or lease them.

Mikero

"How many of those homes are council owned and available to be made ready to be lived in?"

How many councils have been given enough money by the Government to make them livable?

"Do you mean NIMBYS and lefty anti- capitalist socialist Councillors when you say local people" There is nothing anti-capitalist about wanting houses that people can afford to own. I think you will find that most of those of the NIMBY persuasion vote Conservative, as the wish to conserve i...

"Look at the flats at the Orient ground. Nobody who grew up in Leyton would ever had imagined such a development and there were lots of objections to it" I attended that planning committee meeting and the bulk of the objections were to do with parking and noise on match days not the concep...

The US agency that provides funding for development projects abroad such as water supply systems, has suddenly been allowed to fund projects in the US itself. This was done by an executive order signed by the Presedent which was not publicised anywhere. Their first move was to give KODAK $765 millio...

"If you are fit, well and healthy this virus should not really bother you, if your immune system is compromised then this virus is a potential killer." That maybe so now, but is it going to continue in the future when the Cold and Flu season comes along? Both of those can lay anybody low w...

The £11 million given to the Tory party in the last year by property developers is now being paid back in the form of planning deregulation. Boris will moan that it takes too long, but thats mainly due to developers trying to do things that local people and their elected representatives do not want....
