QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Feb 10 2018, 08:07 PM) Its pretty obvious all villages should be destroyed as they are pretty much apartheid. Not a brown or black face to be seen. Shocking. All on ITV now. Disgusting... Not a brown or black, or indeed any other new face to be seen in villages. Who, in their right mind, would want to live in one round here? No shop, no pub, no school, broken roads, no mains gas, intermittent electricity, one bus a week and not on main drains...ugh.

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Feb 11 2018, 09:34 AM) Define a village? If we take a few local examples one can see that there is no particular criteria. Compton is a village yet it has a pub,shop, and a wide social demographic. Farnborough is still a village yet has no comercial outlets and is basically a few houses surrounded by farmland. Though there is real evidence that most are inhabited by the nouveau riche as opposed to those born there, but that I'm afraid, is life in a free market. What the relevance of skin colour is I have no idea, are you suggesting we set aside certain properties for ethnic minorities? Doubt it but I'm sure the odd libtard living in the old rectory would welcome a family of Eritrean migrants moving in next door...........Or would they? I suspect no self respecting immigrant would want to go anywhere near one of our 'no services' villages. Was a very clever ploy; encourage the nouveau riche to take over. They will look after themselves and so 'the authorities' avoid the significant extra financial burden of properly servicing myriad tiny communities. Makes much sense. The off spring of those born there clearly don't want to stay anyway.

No, it's a money enclave, many of the best estates are owned by sheik or Russian money. No one cares where the cash comes from. Today, there are still a number smaller dwellings for people a little down the pecking list - ex Quango execs, retired bank managers, BBC people and the like. My mate calls them Wonderbra homes, places for people who like others to think they have more than they do!

Ban people with money coming into the Country and only allow immigrants without a pot to pi55 in? Perhaps a land grab like Mugabe's idea?

Perhaps a land grab like Mugabe's idea? Why do we need a solution? Towns their suburbs, for economic service and health care delivery, efficient use of land and transport, less expensive physical nfrastructure, are clearly the best place for the main bulk of the population to live. Trying to deliver all these things to scattered rural communities as expensive as it is unnecessary. However, choice is all and it would be wrong to eliminate that. So, nothing wrong with people buying and living in rural areas, always provided they are willing to pay the extra. As today's society demands so much; close at hand schools and medical services, mains water and sewerage, regular refuse collection etc, etc, the 'extra cost' is necessarily high, so only the real rich can afford the cost or a private alternative. What's wrong with that? People 'born and bred' don't have prescriptive rights to stay in the place they were born unless they can afford to do so do they? Where does the 'land grab' or 'penniless immigrant' come into this? Indeed, it's quite the reverse! In essence, just what Nick Ridley so rightly recommended to the Country a Landowners Association a few years back.
