ZOMBIES' PLAN FOR GREEN BELT

Great news from yet another member of Keir's bunch of Zombies.

"Are you going to build on green belt?" Shabby Mahmood did not say this was out of the question, responding: "I'm not going to rule out where future prisons might be built."

The Ministry of Justice has pledged to create an additional 14,000 cell spaces in jails by 2031, with £2.3bn  earmarked for this expansion within the next two years. 

It seems government policy is to destroy the countryside and the green/grey belt completely by the following means:

  • Acres of wind farms and glass

  • Kill off food production by destroying farming

  • Building over a million so-called affordable homes

  • Build a handful of new prisons

Will we still have a country after 4/5 years of this?
