So do I to be honest but an 11% pay rise when the majority of public sector workers are barely getting 1% is a bit hypocritical don't you think.

After all who are the ones preaching about the need for pay restraint.

do remind us of the complete story;
and I'm not sure what it has to do with house price inflation.

Well I suppose it highlights that MP's wage rises won't be outstripped by HPI whereas the majority of the public sector workers will.

I thought that you may have something to worthwhile say about the appropriate level of remuneration for MPs so I was providing a platform for any intelligent views.

Where I live the market towns are being expanded fast, whole villages are being subsumed into mega housing projects, roads are being built and it just feels as if we've all gone mad in our zeal to radically alter the tone and feel of once magical spaces.


Where will this all end? Is there nothing that will halt the rise and rise of the Human swarm? What sort of place are we handing on? Are we custodians and guardians or or simply consumers of the landscape?


I see this happening right across the south east.


And then of course how do we know all this building will make much of dent in demand anyway, wont migrants simply keep coming?

wrong thread?

but, anyway, if you' were arguing for a limit to human breeding then, well, there might be a serious case to be made, but you seem to only be interested in whether or not we house people [and/or which country we house them in].

this is plain daft. the environmental damage caused by replacing a small patch of of grassland with a house is miniscule compared with all of the fossil fuels burned, animals eaten, etc, by a person over their lifetime.

these NIMBY-ist concerns just come across as, well, boomers eager to ensure that the opportunities they had aren't offered to future generations.
