TDC knew about the breach of the S106 condition before it was reported in the Gazette (and I definitely know that for a fact). I've just gotten back from Donald Trump land so when I've gotten over my jet lag and we have all gotten over the referendum I'll probably drop TDC another email to see what they say about the enforcement. I did wonder to myself if Redrow had suspended the ...

This purdah thingy - if politicians aren't allowed to talk about the EU at the moment  then gawd knows how many of 'em (politicians) must be in breach of the rule! So.....I'll take it then that they are not in breach of purdah and neither are any local politicians who participate in the debate.

@FB - Redrow can build as many houses as they have permission to build. It is not the building of the houses that triggers the SANGS requirement but the occupation o f the houses. ie no houses should be occupied until the pro rata amount of required SANGS is in place.

I really and truly fear for workers and their rights if we leave the EU as given that I firmly believe we will have a right wing government it is beyond me why people believe such a government would be inclined towards protecting the rights of workers. Protecting Capital - yes Protecting workers (Labour) - no. And here's an irony. The Right (on the whole) want out of Europe, ...

Does anyone know if Donald Trump has said the UK could always join up with the US if the UK leaves the EU? Have been told that he has said that but I can't find anything to that effect.
