The geniuses who are in charge of building 1.5 million houses (because of course nobody’s been building any houses in this country for the last 20 years have they??!!!! 🤔) that have decided they are going to build the majority of them on flood plains.
None of them can see a flaw in this cunning plan of course. There’s a reason why no houses have been built on them before. The clue is in the name.
Over a decade ago, the Government (running out of other people’s money again), decided they couldn’t afford to pay the huge subsidies to insurance companies for offering cover to owners of property in the ” flood risk areas”. At that time the insurance companies threatened to withdraw cover because of this.
Well anyone who has ever tried to get a mortgage knows that no insurance = no mortgage.
By the way this government and previous governments do give subsidies to insurance companies to cover these houses which is one of the reasons that your premiums go up every year.
Why is it my responsibility to fix and pay for their fucking problems?
They don’t fix or pay for mine.
So how long then before about 75% of these properties become either:
1) unsaleable?
or
2) condemned?
They’ll only be like Barratt Homes/Persimmon
Contractors will cut corners to get them built in time and never come back to do any “snagging”. There’s bound to be all sorts of “surprises” for anyone who buys and moves into them.
As usual it’s yet another short term solution. That’s right. Kick the can down the road for the tax payer to pick up the bill in 20 years time.
Naaaah it’ll be fine 🤨🤨

That’s the uncomfortable truth MiLord. All the pressure on housing is generated by migration, mainly legal but a good percentage illegal. I think it was a record 1200 on Saturday and we can expect that figure to be exceeded in the next 2 or 3 months, given the weather forecast.
I live in the East Midlands it seems every bit of farmland is up for planning permission.
8
Agree with you wholeheartedly W, I also dwell in the East Midlands and concur with you as the farm land around the “village” Is vanishing beneath new houses faster than a diddler in an orphanage. Fucking place is a town now, but without the essential facilities. I am seriously considering a move to a less populated area.

Monday is always the day Kweer reaches for the dressing-up box. Bob Starmer the builder was last week. The week before that was his Del Boy day for one of his dodgy deals, where we came out worse.
This week it is Field Marshall Starmer again, the warmonger – promising the earth knowing he won’t be around to deliver on it.
As for the homes, just as well there is no remote chance of him being PM when this Parliament is power, so he can say what the fuck he likes, even though we all know he is lying through his false teeth again.
18
….”this Parliament is over”. I am a daft old cunt, forgive me.

A mate of mine works foe Eon.
And he told me they fitted electric meters for these new houses.. And these lads were told by their bosses to keep quiet that these new meters would be topped up. Meaning these houses would get electric for free. When he asked who was going to be in these houses, he was told ‘Asylum seekers’
Ah….
31
Why am I not surprised 🤦
10
The Gimmegrants won’t need any houses ‘cos, “ We are moving to war-fighting readiness” says Sir Quare and they will be the first to be conscripted…And like a Due’s! foreskin they will all be OFF, back to wherever the fuck they originally came from.
17
Poor old Kweer thinks he is Lord Montgomery – the trouble is he is more like Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched)
12
The Wops built the city of Venice on a flood plane, & also the Leaning Tower of Piza. It was once surrounded by a moat, before rising damp set in. The rest is history.
12
It’s not just building on flood plains.
Rivers not dredged because it might upset the depressed river mussels and eco twats.
Or even a simple task of clearing drains.
Oh no that might cut into our diversity and alphabet budget.
Still if labour were serious about building that many houses, they wouldn’t of put someone who can barely count to ten.
Unless it’s peacefuls winkies at a mosque.
12
Build houses on flood plains then when they get flooded it’ll be blamed on climate change.
Build houses not on flood plains, which causes flooding elsewhere, which is blamed on climate change.
No infrastructure to support all these new houses, so dry reservoirs are blamed on climate change and sewage pumped into rivers is blamed on Brexit.
New houses mean more cars leading to congestion, ah, time to introduce congestion charges.
It’s not more houses that’s needed it’s less people.
20
Exactly Major – overpopulation is the root cause of all our problems, not Brexit, or Boris, or the climate change nonsense peddled by Miliband – we are a tiny island absorbing all this third world scum, but you will never get the BBC or politicians to admit this.
15
Yes aids and covid failed to cull the overpopulation.
Up to Vlad and is Satan missiles, if they work
12
Why bother with building standards at all?
Everyone with a functioning brain knows that the political ideal is to build a huge housing stock for “migrants”..
So build shanty towns on floods plains,swamps,dangerous cliffs,slag heaps..anywhere,as owt built here will be a million times better than their mud huts and corrugated iron shacks.
Might as well,as not one of the cunts will ever be deported under our present system.
Of course,it must be repeated that the pledge for millions of new homes is a policy invention in a pathetic attempt to disguise the utterly disastrous policy invention of uncontrolled immigration,which is the corner stone of every problem we have.
Prefab Oven.

I don’t know about 1.5 million dinghy rat homes .
I pissed myself when 2TK was on about building 12 new subs. When you thick cunt, next month.
7-10 years for each sub..Do the maths you Bolshevik quisling…!

yes – as we did really well with the aircraft carriers that had no aircraft, failed the moment it put to sea and will more than likely be blown out of the water before it gets past the Isle of Wight as we have no carrier protection fleet!

Kweer and Ange the Bike are both so removed from the real world of housebuilding, that Kweer’s chest-puffing threats to housebuilders is just so utterly fucking retarded.
These cunts don’t take into account:
1. The planning process, parties involved and how this takes so long to get planning consent. There is a process to follow. Statutory consultees can place conditions on the consents. For example, a water company can request that no properties are built and occupied until there is sufficient capacity in their clean water and sewerage networks – there is not always a date confirmed, so issues lie these can roll on.
2. Protected species – voles, badgers, bats, newts, etc. etc. Can throw site works commencement out by several seasons.
3. Materials – who is going to supply the massive additional demand for concrete, bricks, insulation, tiles, etc. etc.? Factories will take some time to gear up for the additional capacity.
The only thing Angela is good at rolling up is a rubber johnny (with her teeth).
Clueless cunts.

concrete and cement prices through the roof due to net zero!

300,000 homes per year, I wonder what the count is so far, it should be above 250,000, coming up to 11months of the Labour gaslighting fiasco.
11
‘ The number of new homes in England continued to fall during the first six months that Labour was in power, analysis by BBC Verify suggests.
The BBC’s housing tracker shows every region of England had a year-on-year fall in new homes in the second half of 2024.
About 107,000 new homes were recorded since last July’s election, down 10% on the same six months a year earlier.’

Why am I not surprised 👍

I’m much too clued up to buy a house in a place called Fishlake. The name does rathers give the game away, doesn’t it? And with all these extreme storms caused by the CLIMATE CATASTROPHE happening all the time I’m keeping well away from low ground.
So I’ve just bought a new house on the side of Mount Etna.
14
Instead of wasting taxpayers money building 1.5 million new homes, the government should be building concentration camps to contain the Far-Right.
Their homes could then be requisitioned by the government to house the 10 million+ migrants drafted into the country since 1997.
It would be a win-win for all… except the Far-Right, obviously. 😀
But as Abe Lincoln famously stated: “You can’t please all of the people all of the time.”
10
By most measures I am far right 😢

Me too 🤣🤣

Compared to me, you two are far left. 😁

I don’t recall the old idea of frogmen having been mentioned in coming to our aid, such as secretly swimming under the illegal fuckers dinghies and sinking them.

The Labour scum just pick impressive sounding figures out of thin air.
As a former chartered builder (up until last Saturday), I can confirm the following:
1. We do not have the workforce in this country to build that many houses. The Poles and Hungarians have fucked off back to their homelands, because their homelands aren’t rammed full of illegal immigrants.
What we’re left with is a bunch of stroppy Romanians, who are more likely to steal the materials and other people’s tools than they are to build with them.
2. There isn’t the land to build on. Now, granted the lake district, the Yorkshire moors and most of Cornwall is going spare, but nobody wants to live there.
There is also no land left to build on in London.
No main contractor can afford to build council flats, because there’s no money in it.
Which brings us nicely onto…
3. The Building Safety Act. This one is a true show stopper.
Since that dozy illegal immigrants sent the Grenfell tower up like a Roman candle, it is virtually impossible to build anything over six stories high.
The fire stopping details and enhanced life safety systems required to just get to the second stage of planning are eyewateringly expensive, meaning the cost of building goes through the roof. Meaning no profit. Meaning it’s not worth building council flats.
So the next time that ginger slapper or the rent boy short changer pipe up about this bollocks, just ignore them.

Most informative, thank you Odin.

Kweer better get his trowel out and start bricklaying because he is going to need every one of those new houses for the boat spongers – according to this old French whore, it is all because of Brexit, not the fact that Macron and the French police are corrupt:

It would really put the cat amongst the pigeons if some frog police were found guilty of taking bribes from the people smugglers 👍

They are going mad building “homes” round here in South Norfolk. They don’t seem to be selling that well, and we are now at the point that the early buyers and trying to offload houses and competing with the developers trying to still sell new ones! I wonder how long this ponzi scheme will last before some bank calls in the loans and sets of another banking crisis. Guess who will be bailing it out!

My house is gorgeous.
Just so you know.

I still like to do things around my house, Miserable.
Even in my condition, I like to cut the grass and do the garden, the weeds and all that. Mrs Norman does a grand job inside. She keeps it immaculate and she has a great eye for decor and all that stuff.

My sister is moving from Wythenshawe to Nantwich Norm.
I told her the grass isnt always greener… Suppose grass iS greener than fuckin Wythenshawe but you get my drift.
Sometimes its the people around you.
Somewhere may be a bit more upmarket but the neighbours are cunts.
You roll the dice an take your chance.
Our kids more likely to blend in.
I moved there theyd think it was the Clampetts rolling up😂

There was a party over the weekend.
My. Mam and dad attended.
Also in atrendance was Angela Rayners family.
Manky Angies mam said
“A lot of people are saying our Angela should be Prime minister”
My mam said she kicked my dad under the table😂
Dunno who these fuckin people are?
Ive never heard anyone say that!
They must be winding her up?
That cunts brought shame on Stockport

Going by header pic, as unlikely as they are to actually be built, if they are, we can be sure 1.5 million people on waiting lists for housing wont move up a single place.

Our greenbelt is ever diminishing ☹️
To house 3rd world leeches.
Where i grew up it was surrounded by fields and ponds.
Mostly all gone now.
I feel like weeping.
Destroying our green and pleasant land.
I dont want no new houses.
I want mass deportations.

I wouldnt be seen dead in one of those ‘New builds”. 👎
Charmless.
Ugly, a house need at least to be built for 50yrs at the very least before people can live comfortably there.
My daughter is buying a new build in Warrington, i dont approve,
Of Warrington or new builds

I once heard someone in the house building trade say, if you buy a new build, rent it out to your worst enemy for the first two years.

This has been going on for a while. Back in 2007 when we had the summer floods Gloucestershire market town Tewkesbury was turned into an island, rather like future Los Angeles in John Carpetner’s hokey Escape from LA.The reason for this was the dopey council had allowed large scale house building on the flood plain at the confluence of two rivers. The current idiots running the country seem to be taking this an example rather than a warning.
6
A friend of mine lives there Stan. She told me of how the water authority brought in pumps to prevent the water reaching houses in one road. People who lived higher up the road at one point switched off the pumps because they were irritated by the noise they made. I’d suggest, drag ’em down to the water and hold their heads under until the bubbles stop coming up.
I noticed in the pictures that the abbey remained above the flood waters. Obviously planners in the twelfth century were clever bastards who knew that water runs downhill.
