Opposing turning areas of outstanding national beauty into brutalist slab housing estates makes you literally fascist
I think I could probably also get a few of you on board with "golf should count as a capital crime"?
"the need for HS2 is so great that it is imperative we bulldoze Amersham"
EVEN NOW PRO-HOUSING CAMPAIGNERS ARE IN MY MENTIONS ACCEPTING THE NEED TO BULLDOZE AN EXISTING TOWN, GUYS THIS DOES NOT ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE
We can do that with confiscations and, in extreme cases, custodial sentences. We don't need to punish the poor, innocent houses for their owners' wayward views
anyway please sign up to my mailing list, for an early sneak peak at my book jonn.substack.com/subscribe
An entirely sincere position I hold is we should grant planning permission to any golf course within walking distance of a station.
