Of course. That's the main reason. There is a big drive here to build affordable homes which have covenants attached to them on ownership only by people who have lived in the County for a while. Where I live has a mix of open market and affordable local homes, at almost 50:50. Don't ask me how they make that legal! So it's not as though the problem isn't recognised.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

They are built by housing associations and are "shared ownership" so a percentage owned, and the rest rented, with the option to increase the ownership in time. The housing associations are intended to serve the local communities. They also build open market homes, like ours, the profits from which help to subsidise their social housing.

I don't know if similar schemes exist elsewhere.

More likely talked into it..

Here, members of the group you support (Scotland branch of PA), essentially celebrate the activities of Brenton Tarrant [Link]

Another poster on PA related chats venerated the same man, filming a video of himself playing guitar to footage of the massacre. He was last year sentenced to 18 years for ten terrorism-related offences having stockpiled explosive materials at his home, terrorist manuals and instructions for a 3D-printed gun.

Within the official PA Scotland group they talk of gas used to kill Jews as 'a delousing agent', hatred of 'subhuman' n*ggers" and rife adoration of the nazis.

Several members flit between this and banned neo nazi groups. This mirrors multiple links between PA in general and banned terror group National Action, including high profile current members. National Action were banned due to celebrating the death of Jo Cox. They had changed their Website title to "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain!, a phrased coined by her murderer in court.

One prominent PA official stated: “I want a cult. I want fanatics, people who are willing to die for this cause. That’s the level of commitment I want and expect"

I could post countless posts like this concerning extreme links, and worldviews surrounding this far right neo nazi outfit. This group should not be allowed to become a political party, it is more likely to eventually become a prescribed group. I fear for what may lead to that happening. If you're fine with them pontificating about 'asking' my partner to leave our country on account of race, then at least own the realities and fullness of some who want to see that happen and why.

Thanks for the head up. I will be going to see Tim. He's certainly on the right, intentionally shocking at times and a free speech advocate to the hilt. He's not hateful though or attracted to anything politically out there. He looks at the absurdity of life and he laughs. For what it's worth I see your interest in these groups as 'rubber necking' rather than anything of note; the desire to be linked to something with a bit of meat on the bone. What I'm saying to you is that you can't sanitise away the more disturbing side. It is what it is. And what it is, isn't particularly palatable.

Believe it or not I have a lot to do. You could certainly be forgiven for thinking overwise. Whether it's covid or this, I've spent a stupid amount of time over the past three days trying to inject a sensible viewpoint into what I've been seeing on here. I imagine I've reached the same conclusion several others have over time.

Consequently, as far as it goes for me in /politics..... That's all folks!

Do you mean that you have bought a new property and that from the profit the house builder makes they then use some of these funds to subsidise some form of social housing in future developments?

If so then this goes on with pretty much every new development in England with the developer funding some of the cost for a new school/library/bicycle lane etc or social housing.

The difference with Cornwall appears to be that there is a local and open market?

Excellent.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

He should go back to shagging Edwina Currie!
A man who was thoroughly useless as PM of this country and who is still so bitter about Brexit that he just cannot leave Boris alone.
