Seeing all of those Brexiteers packed together on the beach at Bournemouth.
It makes me worry about democracy.
They each have a vote.

They are true born English men and women exercising their right to individual liberty. Good for them.

Morning allBuybacks and divi frozen over the pond, after hours all the banks went south!

[mikemichael2] 26/6/2020 08:25

I'd send up a 'crop sprayer' and give them all a dose of sanitizer.

[maxk] 26/6/2020 08:16

Besides, they are bored and have nothing else to do.

[geckotheglorious] 26/6/2020 08:14

Mike,

True,many will be young , selfish and thick, but being on the beach in the sun is far safer than hitting a supermarket and not wearing a mask..

[mikemichael2] 26/6/2020 08:09

Those people on the beaches represent a large example of our population, young,selfish and thick..........we're doomed.

[bearnecessities] 26/6/2020 08:08

Planning a brighter future
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 25, 2020
Yesterday the Commons debated our planning system. At issue was the granting of permission to build new homes in Westferry, London, where they are much needed. Tower Hamlets Council failed to provide an answer on the planning application within the quite generous time limits laid down, so the decision fell to be made by the incoming new Secretary of State for the Environment. Opposition parties did not like the way he made it, and or did not like the decision.

Most people in the UK think there should be a planning system, but many disagree with whatever system is in place, particularly when it results in a decision they do not like. There are many people with land who would like to make a big profit by putting it forward for development, who find their land is not preferred. There are many others, often their neighbours, who think their local area has enough development and do not wish to see green fields built on or old buildings replaced by much larger developments . The tensions are understandable. The task for government trying to judge between the competing views is uncomfortable.

The aim of planning policy is to provide some intelligent framework for these decisions, setting out in advance through local plans where development is likely and where it is not. Years ago the system revolved around a fairly simply local map. The map would show through hatched markings which places were to be kept as green openspace and farmland, which remained as built up area and which parts could be used for new building. The built up areas could also gain special protections through area designation as a conservation area, or from individual building listings.

Over the years I have been watching planning it has got a lot more complicated, with local plans now going into huge detail and containing many subsidiary policies about permitted development. I am not sure this added complexity has produced better results or has been any better at allaying tensions over decisions. One of the worst features in my area has been from a landowner or developer gaming the system. They fail to build out the agreed permissions for new homes, whilst putting in for more permissions in close by locations,. It can be more profitable to trade planning permissions than to actually build and sell the homes. This undermines public confidence in the system. It can also lead to bad planning, with too many homes on floodplains or stretching local services too thinly.

Graham,

Doubt Minerve works for the BBC.Even they do some work rather than sitting on a BB 24/7 spouting off Left wing rubbish.

[geckotheglorious] 26/6/2020 07:09

Daddywarbucks.

I'd say the majority of them..But the beach in the sun is probably one of the safest places to be.

Concur though. All about rights, and not responsibilities these days. That is why we have so many societal problems. People's Entitlement

Hard times are coming.

Sorely needed to knock some sense into overly entitled people.

They are in for a shock. Unfortunately rest of us will suffer for their lack of moral values and absence of personal responsibility as well...

[grahamite2] 25/6/2020 23:47

Far right = anyone who isn't a card carrying member of the Communist Party.

Minerve probably works for the BBC.

[maxk] 25/6/2020 23:33

You gone orff Bekaa now Min?

[minerve 2] 25/6/2020 23:17

"Rebecca Long-Bailey, never trust someone with a tiny mouth !! Wasn't Min a fan of her?"

LOL

Why would someone with my business acumen think someone like her would be appropriate for the position she had?

Dear me.

The far-right on this thread can't see the centre for the left.

[diku] 25/6/2020 23:02

Yes it didn't look like Thursday day out on the beech...more like a Sunday day out...where is this recession?...

[daddy warbucks] 25/6/2020 22:44

How many of these people on the beaches have been furloughed, but getting paid by the government?They are sticking two fingers up and saying it's our right, when they should be asking what their responsibilities are.I know the government couldn't say this, but we cannot afford to keep paying people for the next 6 months or more. The country cannot afford it.It would bring a lot of people to their senses if the government said " No more money"

I'll never vote for someone who takes the knee.

None of us would expect you to! The question is, how will it play with people inclined to vote socialist. I think an awful lot will be disgusted. In particular, those in the North who said they "loaned" Boris their vote might make that a long term loan.

This is another of those cases where the far left just have no idea how normal, ordinary people think. Most don't like violent, destructive thugs.

[diku] 25/6/2020 21:45

Just heard this woman on TV said some of those visiting beeches today used green areas and peoples front gardens as toilets...

[geckotheglorious] 25/6/2020 21:44

"Starmer is still the red under the bed."

I'll never vote for someone who takes the knee.

"I see all the Councils are running out of money, they could do with a good culling, all i seem to get for my never ending rate rise is my bins emptied"

Precisely. And even then it's fortnightly for each category!

And the leave rude notes if they spot something someone has incorrectly chucked in...
so it's then a month for that specific bin!!
