A lot of this falls down to the builder and the councils. The government can't force builders to build beyond removing planning permission after a period when they fail to.

There is a scheme near me to build 1000 homes on an old factory site. It hasn't gone ahead yet because the Labour council is making it difficult for NIMBY reasons.

We also could of had the first new Ikea North of Warrington and they cocked up that as well by imposing ridiculous planning regulations and so Ikea pulled out leaving an empty flattened field!
Never let the truth get in the way of a good Tory-knocking story though. Still, the lefties need to up their game; seems from the polls that the public are not buying the Marxist bullshit.

Sounds about right.
 
Probably because some people still genuinely believe that all right wing policies are "hallmarks of evil", and they aren't.

I'm firmly in the middle and advocate both right and left policies and see faults in either as well. That's why I consider both viewpoints to be equally important to be present in society, as people's views are influenced by their ever changing personal circumstances. Without that choice, what are we?
So which are the " nice guys " in the right wing , past or present ?
 
Almost certain Boris will have something dodgy to do with Russians?

Well in deluded, Marxists Corbyn world, I suppose you'd be bound to think that.

Honestly I despair at some of you lot, I really do. It's like thinking is forbidden amongst some Labour supporters.
Like Dominic Grieve no doubt. Ex attorney general, chairman of the intelligence committee and now independent MP.

Millions of members of the general public who hold right wing values? Teachers, doctors, small business owners, labourers, carers, service workers.

Or are you on about condensing an entire viewpoint into the politics of individual personalities so you can point the finger and say "see, hate them!"? That's one hell of a loaded question, when you consider no human being in history has been without flaws. How many evil left wing people have existed throughout history? The Jacobins, the Soviets, the Viet Minh? You see, it's not helpful to the discussion. You want to make politics about "hate this, attack this" and it's wrong. Debate the policies, not the personalities.
