Quote of the Week

"It sounds to me like I should vote for Vince Cable. Vince Cable was against demutualising the building societies back in the 1990s when your government was doing that. Vince Cable was sending me as an economics editor emails every three weeks, about the levels of debt through the last five years and he has been instrumental in saying that the taxpayer needs to be protected nationalising the banks and in having the upside risks as well as the downside ones are the way to go."

Green Belt Protest Heads to Parliament

Fri 10th Oct 2008

Local protestors, angry at the Government's top down and intrusive Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS), took their message directly to Parliament today. If implemented, the RSS would result in an extra 2750 homes in the Lytchett Minster area and 700 more in Corfe Mullen, all without meaningful local consultation or additional infrastructure.
