We live in a semi rural area, with open country behind us, on the south staffs-west midlands border, Cannock chase is but a few miles away. About 300yds from us, further along the road, is the start of a 500 acre farmers field, the first of many that stretch for miles. last year it was proposed to build 1400 homes on the field, with another 15,000 houses to be built on the adjoining fields, stretching as far south as north Birmingham, about 15 miles due south of us. No mention of schools, shops, medical centres, etc. The impact on the local community's will be enormous and destructive.
This has all come about over the years, beacause in part, the open door policy of immigration has increased the population to the point, that the normal slow population expansion, that councils and city planners could legislate for, has exploded far faster than finances and the construction sector can cope with, allied to this government complicacy, and sheer bloody mindedness, kow- towing to EU directives, and the dam stupid current human rights legislation.
Consequently, the green field sites, farmers fields, will now within the next 20 years be concreted over, and small rural roads will become major commuter routes, with all the congestion and problems that comes with it.
This country is full, it cannot sustain any more incomers. We, that is local councils, infrastructure, gas, electric, water, medical, welfare services, food distribution, and more importantly, jobs, cannot cope.
The dystopian future, as depicted in such films as blade runner, and soylent green, that is the total break down of social cohesion, and overcrowding, rampart slums and massive welfare problems will materialise, unless barriers are invoked, and nill immigration is implemented. ( sterilising the baby producing slag chavs would be a good start, as would the Chinese method, one baby only, any more and you get hammered, drastic I know)
Its a bleak glimpse into a possible future, and it all starts will the loss of food producing farmers fields.
