"it would be never ending, since anyone unemployed would simply keep moving to Bristol to instantly move into their new home. There umpteen other issues"
I hope you were on magic mushrooms when you wrote all the unemployed would move to Bristol for a new house.
Maybe get there on their bikes? Only this time it's a house at the end of that Tory rainbow.
I'm fearing for your sanity otherwise.
So let's get this straight. An unemployed family, living 4 to a room in some delapidated squalor in say Gloucester, who's been on a housing list for ages where they live, would NOT move to a new area not 30 miles away, where there was no waiting list and a brand new council semi waiting for them? I'm presuming you haven't seen the council houses near me. They are lovely. Why on earth would someone NOT move? Of course some people would move, which is EXACTLY what has been happening.
I think you were on magic mushrooms posting what you did. Either that or you were so keen to critise you simply forgot to engage your brain. The debate was about why we don't simply build endlessly more houses in the Southwest, and i gave one perfectly good reason, of which there are many others.
but I still don't get your beef? Are you saying because you don't want new houses near you in Bristol a family of 4 should stay in squalor 30 miles away?
How is Tory policy helping young people own a house?
The only way that happens is by government shifting infrastructure and jobs away from the South East. Other areas say the very North East / West of England or Northern Scotland, have loads of room to build houses, but unless people in the south east can be persuaded to move away from jobs and families down there it doesn't matter how much other areas put there backs into it. Don't know what the answer is but as you have said the South East is a problem like no other part of the country.No, of course not.
What I am saying is it's about time some other areas put their back into it. We've built tens of thousands of new homes down our way already and the infrastructure simply cannot cope. We've done our bit. My village is already doubling the number of houses as it is under the current plans. If everywhere did that we've have a million too many homes all over the country lying empty.
My beef is that the London based parliament still sees a huge problem down their way and tells everyone across the country they need to do more. WE don't.
And that (HTB) must be part of the solution.As I said the biggest and main obstacle is the deposit, there is help for this with help to buy. It got me my house so I am proof of an answer to your question.
What are the Labour plans to help people own their own home and raise the deposit required?
who are the bright new vibrant faces that will restore the Tory party fortunes? interested to learn as looking at the conference none of them stood out as that sort of material. Maybe amongst the 70% of sitting MP's so inspired that the didn't attend conference.
Can you explain why Labours ethics changed from supporting the working class to calling them racists and uneducated idiots? Whilst at the same time supports the middle class? If you genuinely think that Labour support the poor then I am at a loss to what's to discuss.
