@GBNEWS Nowhere is exempt, but buying cattle in rather than having a closed herd, lots of visitors etc. etc. My thoughts are with Diddly Squat and Jeremy's team.
@McrSomnambulist Dreadful loss of a wonderful landmark building.
It might not have been the prettiest, but now gone forever, unless the remains can be salvaged and preserved.
@thestrayferret Absolutely yes, but will those responsible be suitably punished, and those who held either trusted or related elected positions that ignored ongoing complaints with the full knowledge of what was going on, will they be held to account?
@ThePaulLaidlaw Auction houses win either way, charging the vendor collection fees, commission, a lotting fee and for photos, then commission to the buyer....all for something they have not purchased or sold whilst in their ownership. Some are worse than others, but reform is needed.
@thestrayferret They should be looking to work on the next local plan, and influence sooner, rather than later. If a site is in the plan, then it will likely be developed. Strong voices needed, not nodding political donkies.
