    Looks like the residents have a strong advocate in their new MP.

      In my experience, Britain has the worst housing standards of any country in Western Europe.
      Not just tower blocks, but new-builds of all types are small and shoddily made.
      Even the blocks of flats built for millionaires in posh areas of London are poorly made - poor sound insulatio and God knows what else.
      Hard Brexit now!

        I noticed they'd spruced up (in two tone blue) the ones visible from the M5 near Birmingham when I was passing first time in ages the other week, much better than the drab grey original.

        Thought they'd painted them rather than covered them in flammable plastic.
        Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

          Nothing wrong with grey if the people inside it won't burn to death.

            Argahhh! Corbyn and May visits Grenwall, she doesn't speak to survivors as she'd probably get lynched he's around hugging them and visibly upset getting huge thanks for coming.

            Good god, he just keeps making her look bad.

              They need to give her a simple flow chart to script her conversations with survivors.

              Has she visited your wife yet to apologise for the 10k?

                No , but Corbyn popped around, gave me a cuddle and said when he gets in next time he's taking my house for immigrants.
