Are you going to apply the same rules to pedal assist bikes? Or are you planning to single out e-scooters only, like tfl did for some reason?

Acoustic bikes? What kind of witchery is that? Do you sing to unlock them or do they play music while you ride?

40% of that figure is international students, who tend to be wealthy and live in student accommodation which wouldn’t house regular people anyways. They also tend to leave after they finish their studies. So that would leave us closely with the recommended number of building new houses. People should really find another excuse to blame immigrants or bother reading the details of the stats they use. (Also, ONS and other think tanks said that this number is not going to continue going forward.)

You need the IELTS UKVI (general) test which is provided by the British Council specifically. It’s the same exam, but stricter facilities. The ‘normal’ test won’t be accepted by the Home Office.

He is opposed to a policy which has already been thoroughly consulted on.

Wrong, I’m afraid it wasn’t. national grid consultation

It seems like the pressure is working, because they agreed that the initial assessment wasn’t enough: “We are also consulting on the preliminary findings from our environmental studies and assessments as well as proposed mitigation for any potential impacts to the local environment, including animal habitats and the local landscape.”

In any case the local campaigners want more scrutiny and consultation from a third party. Which is their right if we like it or not.

What are you on about? This is not a policy by the greens, but one MP. Ramsay said ‘…110 miles of cabling using 50m high pylons will “destroy our historic landscapes and will require huge loss of trees”.’ An MP who cares about his constituence!? The horror!!

He suggested that they should do a thorough analysis and consultation before going forward. Maybe the silicon valley mantra of ‘move fast and break things’ shouldn’t be applied to our green future policies.

He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

I don’t know if it’s your reading comprehension or you’re just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I’m not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn’t seem to be based on any empirical evidence.

You made some bold claims though and I’m here to challenge you on those.

• You claim to be a “leftie”.
• You voted remain.
• You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
• Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.

So my answer is this… If you vote Reform, you’re not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you’re not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.

Why would I vote for libdem?

Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you’re adding extra steps now…

Anyways, reading your other comments here, you’ve confirmed what others already suspected - you don’t really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you’re just a xenophob.

If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?

Assuming you’re not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?

The majority of the civil service don’t support those policies. It’s not their fault that every now and then some crazy unelected “CEO” comes along and tells the directorate “now do this”. In the last ten years the Home Secretary changed eight times!
