As reading any contribution here is entirely your decision might I suggest you simply ignore any posts which upset your delicate sensibilities.

Completely up to you, of course.

My first point I high lighted crordon and your answer was
It's not official policy to build anything on the green belt! It's just a suggestion by some NIBY resident groups which has no chance of getting anywhere.

Then when I mention Birmingham have already done it you change your tune and all of a sudden it's ok to build on green belt.
You wrote.
"For sure an increasing urban population demands increasing housing and that in turn might mean finding pockets of underutilised green spaces that can be used. That doesn't mean there is a major threat to our green spaces."

The clear fact is your immigration policy is driving us to build on green belt and your to stubborn to admit mass immigration is now having BAD consequences,

You know it's wrong,your grand kids know it's wrong. Your policies are ruining this country.

Ps. It's clear when somone is loosing an Argument because they always go down the bad spelling route lol

ohhh more insults, keep it up!

The suggestion about building on the green belt in the Croydon area was what you referenced and what I initially commented on as coming from NIBYs, which locally has no chance of being taken seriously. Which is true.

You then switched to another report in Birmingham which made some different points, which I responded to by saying that different situations demand different solutions. Which is true.

It's also true that there is no overall threat to the green belt but as the demand for housing increases it would be silly to adopt a totally inflexible position but keep an open mind and revisit decisions made decades ago if to do so makes sense.

I don't have an "immigration policy"! What on earth are you talking about. All I am trying to do is point out what is pretty obvious if you step back from all the emotion and hype surrounding Brexit. Which is that immigration is unlikely to be significantly impacted as a consequence. Politicians make claims and no-one will know the precise result until it happens but logic and history suggests your claims are well off the mark. Indeed if half the things predicted by the ultra leavers about the way our economy will react to being "free" of the EU then we will require an increase to immigration to cope with the demand for labour.

Your idea that my "policies" are ruining our country is completely nuts. I don't have any "policies"! I am not in government. I am responding to events. It is simply my belief that if we cannot remain within the EU, which was my preference, then the minimum we must seek is to negotiate as close a working arrangement with them as is possible. So avoiding a "no deal" Brexit is the first priority. Once done we can look at what the next options are.

Whether you think my, and my grand kids, views are "wrong" is of no consequence. What matters is what actually happens and that is still all to play for. Whose argument wins, or loses, won't be known for the next 10 or 20 years.

Thank you for confirming that whilst you don't like my style, which is entirely your right, that there wasn't any insult. Which is all I was asking.
