17,000 homes built on flood planes

Great Britain is running out of space to build any more homes but because of government incompetence we have to find ever more homes for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that come into this country every year.

Councils are finding it difficult to find suitable places to build homes which is why they are having to build 17,000 homes on flood plains every year increasing the risk that there will be more devastating floods that the country has to deal with.

Dealing with immigration is also the reason why eco towns are being pushed through. Any sane person would tell you that the more you build the greater the environmental damage and more people equal more environmental damage. Areas where eco towns are finding this out and Labour could suffer a backlash from even more people turning against them. People don’t want the countryside to be spoiled so that houses can be built. They want to be able to go for a walk in the countryside or just admire the views. You can’t do any of that when it is concreted over.

Brown caught lying about flood compensation

FURIOUS victims of the summer floods told last night how they had been fobbed off with just £250 in compensation – and a trip to a zoo “to cheer them up”.

Gordon Brown promised Government cash would get people “back on their feet as quickly as possible” just days after the devastation in June.

But many families, who have spent three months living in caravans, cheap hotels, or crammed into the upstairs rooms of their waterlogged homes, have been told they cannot have any cash.

These people have lost everything and now the government decides not to pay what they promised to the victims of the floods. This is a betrayal to the people of hull who have paid their taxes and now are being refused any help and being fobbed off with what is basically pocket money and a trip to the zoo.

Government get it wrong

The House of Lords have again voted against the Corporate Manslaughter Bill because it does not include the public sector. Justice Minister Maria Eagle said the government accepted the principle of including deaths in custody and the scope of the legislation could be extended in the future to cover deaths in custody or on specified premises.

While Gordon Brown announced that he wants 3 million new homes by 2020 he seemed to be making it hard for himself to achieve that goal seeing as has said that he is considering making developers who build on flood plains liable for insurance cover for 20 years. To me that just sounds like developers will either stop building so many houses (which will hamper his goals) or they will charge even more for houses in a market which is already overpriced which will mean that the price of houses will not go down no matter how many are built making it even more difficult for first time buyers to get on the property ladder.
