Train from Inverness to Edinburgh: Currently over 7hrs journey Points failure Train broke down Threatened with return to Inverness from Dalwhinnie Plug socket broken No water in toilet Cancelled train at Perth. @ScotRail this isn't something gone wrong. It's chaos.

This is dishonest. The purposes of greenbelt is to protect local identity and tp stop sprawl allowing towns to merge. It isn't for enjoyment - we have parks, National parks etc for that. "Low quality" is also misleading, scrub etc is often high quality for wildlife
The green belt can often be low-quality land, poorly maintained and rarely enjoyed by Londoners. Development on carefully chosen parts of the green belt - done in the right way - could unlock hundreds of thousands of good quality new homes for London.

Generally, structural engineers don't specify bracing for fun...

A lot doesn't seem to work in the UK just now but at least we can still organise polling stations where you just turn up and vote without queuing for hours.
