Buy some Greek Islands, cover them with villas and then incentivise British pensioners to sell up and move there, freeing up more UK housing without building on green belt.
If successful expand the policy to buy up bits of Spain, Italy and Portugal."When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson0 -

Nah, Tuesday was named after Tiw, or Tyr who was a Norse deity, just like Wednesday was named after Wodan, or Odin, who was a Norse deity, and Friday was named after Frigg, who was a Norse deity. The English had much the same gods as the Vikings before they got all wussy and christianised.:)...Make Chocolate free...

Come to think of it, you might have the entire female vote locked in right there with that policy.0 -
Hey I begin to love you lot. :beer:Am more with elantan than the rest of you. Too much killing and tea, lacking in socialism and something - anything - stronger. I would sack everyone who thinks it's ok to come in early and eat breakfast at their desks and then chat on whenever anyone has to come into the same poisonous room as they're sat in.
