I bet Mallard Pass will be the next NIMBY victory.

Sadly nobody's yet posted that "who did this?" meme guy yet. Layla has rather slipped up by mentioning lack of lab space here- her attitude to development doesn't exactly promote it or places where lab staff might live.

She's bang on about points 1 and 2 though.

FFS:

Shouldn't that read

Yes to solar. No to solar in our backyard

Classic NIMBYs, or "twats" as I prefer to call 'em.

Back to Cambridgeshire, where a new measure for rail has been invented. "Cost per commuter". Cambridge is famously visited only by commuters. Nothing to see there at all, just a bunch of labs and offices. But, if we're talking about workplaces, perhaps a few of them might open near this rail line? We could even build houses near there too.

You can't win-
HS2, too straight, should have stuck to existing transport allignments, Nobody would have complained etc.
EWR why isn't it straighter?

Continuing the theme, EWR NIMBY alert on Any Questions? tonight - at 40:50 in.

Thats fine if the data centre planned for Iver is rejected. It means that the one on the Langley Business Park site which is at the bottom of my garden will be a success and Slough Borough Council will reap the benefits.

The contractors who did the demolition of the site were excellent and kept us informed at each stage of the process and when I complained about the amount of dust being produced took action straightaway.

Yeah how dare the University of Berkely want to build student housing on land it owns.

People of rural Wales: "We're falling behind because of the lack of broadband infrastructure!"
Also people of rural Wales: Fury at Openreach's giant telegraph poles outside homes

We’ll have none of these huge erections around here.

In Bavaria, these things are lavishly decorated with a cross-bar and hanging baskets, simply teeming with flowers. They're good for the soul and generously easy on the eye.

Tell 'em it's a fucking flagpole.

“Why are they wasting tax payers money on hanging baskets”

Sadly you can’t win with these fuckers

This is good. Lucky there's so much spare land in Bethnal Green to put the 341 homes on.

The likely doomed MP for, of all places, Milton Keynes North here.
