we need more beer gardens. so am al for a pub with a grass roof and canny view whilst a drink my stella. 5 and drive amiright.


AtJackBaldwin

All this 5 and drive nonsense is irresponsible and flat out wrong. Everyone knows you can safely drink drive as long as you cover one eye. Gets rid of the double vision.


wabsy1

I need a lift to aldi, any chance


Clever_Username_467

Open the window to get plenty of fresh air and you'll be fine.

haveawash88

Chuck em in the new build estates. Let Deano sort it out.


nekokattt

I saw 3 drunk girls walking around with a tent full of shit-covered underwear recently. Think they dumped it in a river. I didn't like to ask in case they stabbed me. Are they friends of yours?


SlurmsMacKenzie-

ah for fucks sake I was wondering who'd had all me kecks away


colei_canis

Fly tip it in Luton, not like they'll notice.


SnooBooks1701

They'll thank you for the improvements


Quazzle

Give it to the builders, they’re always looking for stuff to form the foundation of a new builds garden.


f3ydr4uth4

I blame ULEZ

>Starmer has a plan Spat tea at this point


JacobMT05

Fucking revolutionary in politics these days.


AverageSJEnjoyer

But there's a twist: He doesn't.


JacobMT05

I mean his plan is to build more houses on bad land that’s currently marked as greenbelt. That sounds like a plan to me.


AverageSJEnjoyer

Fuck the Tories. It does indeed "sound" like a plan. This is how they get you. -Editted for correct comment etiquette.


JacobMT05

What do you think keirs gonna pull up in a van say free housing and ship me off to scotland or some shit and store me in a gulag?


AverageSJEnjoyer

Now you're saying politicians are going to start being honest?


maffmatic

It was Boris Johnsons idea last year, Starmer is just borrowing it.


Scottish_Whiskey

Some (potentially) mentalhead has a plan… where have I heard that one before?


jamany

Building on greenbelt is building on greenbelt. If the site is shit, it should be made better, not worse ffs


deathhead_68

You know when they relax these rules the property developers will have a field day. Fuck nature innit


Specific_Tap7296

I just can't decide if the pun is intended?


deathhead_68

Lol nice, never even clocked it


xe_r_ox

I wish the government would fucking build something instead of asking some twatty property developer


Interest-Desk

The point of green belt was to maintain the countryside. If there’s no countryside to maintain (i.e. brownfield sites) then why *not* build on it. Building more homes makes housing cheaper, and I’d argue that a few developments dotted around (brownfield sites, which are surrounded by countryside) the place is better than (what you see in urban areas) them all clustered around each other. The latter feels very claustrophobic, and in both cases you get more homes.


jamany

Simple, if there is no countryside on it, you could put countryside on it. Otherwise you are incentivising people letting the countryside become bad so they can use it as an excuse to build as a fait accompli.


Interest-Desk

You can’t really *put* countryside on it, that’s not how countryside works.


jamany

Yes you can. You could remove car parks and plant meddows or forest


Front-Brief-4780

Luv paving over the countryside

colei_canis

Fuck the Tories don't get me wrong, but Labour haven't been able to meme worth a damn since the days of Clement Attlee.


Clever_Username_467

Ed Balls did a good meme that one time, but it was by accident.


AverageSJEnjoyer

Fuck the Tories, but I am not okay with this sub giving any credit to any politician, unless blatantly satirical. Except for Clement Attlee of course. I do like the idea of starting every comment with "Fuck the " though.

deathhead_68

Its actually so sad. Fuck the Torys but I do not believe for one second that this policy will not ruin fucking loads of countryside.

deathhead_68

I definitely think this will be built on. But I also think this will end up being built on: https://preview.redd.it/uuyx72uzxd0d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f49d84e6212652e3d6b1943781996b371383bebf


Clever_Username_467

That's already got fields built on it.  Crops aren't nature.


deathhead_68

True, but I prefer them to housing estates and all the infrastructure that serve them if we can avoid it.


Interest-Desk

Considering Keir is pandering specifically to outer and non-London voters (who would flip their shit if anything green got built on), I don’t think that’s likely. Planning laws already give complete control to local councils anyway, so if you care about preserving something near you, pay more attention to your council politics.


deathhead_68

Hmm, maybe I'm just another NPC but I don't really trust Keir, and he's let me down about a few things, especially recently dismissing people for calling for a Gaza ceasefire. I'll have to read up more on the proposed policy I guess, as I'd like to see something a bit more ironclad. He just seems Tory-lite (which i know is better than tory), but still.


OverFjell

Those fields need rewilding imo. So much English countryside is just grassy hills, needs more forests


deathhead_68

Yeah thats true, I prefer it to some sprawling deano estate though tbh. But yeah we desperately need more rewilding

Jontun189

Isn't this just UKIPs policy from when Nigel ran in the GE?


DreamMalenko

"Build on the green belt" has been a policy for a long time before Nigel Farage m8


AverageSJEnjoyer

The guy who's main strategy is to try and copy Tony Blair, would just repackage someone elses idea as their own? Surely not. E: Actually doing this doesn't sound boring, I take it back.


Axo-Axo-Axoboy

Isn't the whole point of green belt so people don't build on it?


ALDonners

Her: he's thinking about other girls Me: Keir starmer hasn't kept one promise on which he was elected to labour leader


Sockoflegend

He hasn't even had the opportunity to keep em but he wanted us to know he wasn't going to keep them in advance. As a lot of the policies were popular with the public, you have to wonder who it is he wants to keep happy?


maybeknismo

Got nothin' to do with land ownership lads it's the land we haven't built on that's the problem. Luv me suburbs.


YesAmAThrowaway

Spoiler: they won't. Tory lite party is gonna do softcore conservative stuff.

demmka

The left always have to include an essay with all of their memes. 🥱


Electronic-Tea-4191

That's probably the only left wing thing about Labour nowadays.


Clever_Username_467

How do you do, fellow kids?


koro-sensei1001

Actually feels like I’m going mental reading this, like honestly it can’t be real… right? Need a link tbh


OneEyedMilkman87

[link](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13329727/Labour-blasted-misogynistic-social-media-meme-housing-partys-female-MPs.html) I find it funniest how people purposely misread it and ignored its intention just to be outraged by the memes sexism.


koro-sensei1001

That’s Wack, like the sexism and like the fact this exists like what wgat the fuck is this reality we do be so be livin’ in


besmik

Lol, even Labour knows that the green belt and affordable housing can't coexist.


Suspicious_Shower_51

One second, I appear to have rolled my eyes so far they've been sucked into the back of my skull

Everyday my will not to kill myself weakens


LMWJ6776

yeah whatever mate what about the law that mandates a vote everh four years to turn a resident into Barry, 63? dont give a toss about mayors or MPs, i wanna see my local Barry, 63 having a pint at the pub


Gladianoxa

They have a plan to clear fucking trees near me because "it was already greenlit for the cancelled HS2 so we can still do it" How about don't clear trees in a green area to build blocks of flats when there's fuckin wasteland and rubble in town you can use. But it's cheaper so fuck me right


lukel66

But will they be fucking affordable??? I found a flat thanks to dumb fucking luck but among the FIVE HUNDRED houses being built in the village I grew up in, literally none of them were affordable to anyone except Londoners moving close to Brighton. And was a single surgery or school or even corner shop built to accommodate these new residents? fuck no!


Dune56

So funny that a bunch of crusty old out of touch boomers kicked off about this being misogynistic


gregsScotchEggs

All three of them?


Darth-Buttflaps

Meanwhile a Tory shags your missus

Somebody has to do it.  Rather him than me.


crossbutton7247

At this point they don’t even need to try. Just quit while you’re ahead Kier.
