Keir Starmer wants to build another 1.5 million homes, which is commendable, provided these homes are genuinely affordable, and located in the right places, so as not to overload already damaged highways infrastructure, amid a pension block hole crisis and burgeoning national debt.

One serious flaw in his plan is local government corruption, stemming from over manning of administrative staff at a ratio of 4 civil servant non-productive employees to every 1 productive worker.

In other words each farmer, builder, fisherman, electrician, plumber, carpenter or factory worker, who is actually contributing to the nation by growing, harvesting or making something tangible - is paying for 5 pensions, including their own. Talk about a monkey on your back!

Not only that, but not content with leaching off the backs of the working class, there is massive procurement fraud and councils wasting money on vendettas and the like.

New houses need improved roads, or even new roads. Perhaps with service tunnels alongside, to prevent all the roadwork's that cause mayhem and disruption to commuters.

At the moment councils are cramming executive housing into villages, even where there are dangerous exits and entrances, that are sure to lead to road accidents and deaths in time. These are the so-called 'Suicide Junctions.'

ADOLF - Was a great builder of road and motorways to get Germany back on track with recovery from WWI

We were wondering then, about all the dangerous potholes in England, despite the fact millions of vehicles are contributing to road building and repairs via vehicle excise duties or car taxes. The larger or more powerful, the more vehicle tax is payable. And yet, the roads get more potholes, despite £millions of pounds pouring into the Road Fund.

Indeed, there is far more money than road repairs but the government is not repairing or building new roads. In our view in breach of a deemed contract with the public. So, making the roads unsafe, and downright dangerous to life an limb. How then can we make the government and corrupt local officials accountable for putting the nation's lives at risk? What sort of legislation or 'Rules' should be enacted to force our government to spend our money transparently with more accountability. Should they be fined for misuse of public money for example. Should the roads by audited for safety, etc?

It's really frustrating when it feels like public funds aren't being used effectively, especially when it comes to something as important as road safety. There are a few ways to address this issue in our view:

1. Legislation for Accountability: Strengthening existing laws or introducing new legislation to ensure that funds allocated for road maintenance are used appropriately. This could include mandatory audits and public disclosure of how funds are spent2.

2. Penalties for Misuse: Implementing stricter penalties for officials found guilty of misusing public funds. This could range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the severity of the misuse [3].

3. Road Safety Audits: Regularly conducting road safety audits to assess the condition of roads and identify areas that need urgent repair. These audits should be carried out by independent bodies to ensure impartiality.

4. Public Participation: Encouraging public participation in monitoring road conditions and reporting issues. This can be facilitated through apps or websites where citizens can report potholes and other road hazards.

5. Transparency and Reporting: Ensuring that local authorities provide regular updates on road maintenance activities and expenditures. This could be done through annual reports or public meetings.

By implementing these measures, we might work towards a more transparent and accountable system that prioritizes the safety and well-being of the public.


Q. All these are commendable ideas. However, a more positive approach may be necessary, especially where over-development of housing along A and B roads leads to chaos from recurring potholes in the same spots annually, except that the cycle is reducing before repairs are necessary in proportion to the increases in traffic generated by more cars and service vehicles for the new build homes. Thus, a two pronged attack may be advisable, making it illegal to build homes along substandard roads, plus local accounts published prominently as to income from road taxes and the actual cost of road repairs locally and nationally. What do you think of such proposals?

A. Your suggestions for addressing the issue of road maintenance and over-development are both practical and forward-thinking. Here’s how they could make a significant impact:

Regulating Development: Making it illegal to build homes along substandard roads would prevent further stress on already inadequate infrastructure. This could ensure that road quality is prioritized before new developments are approved.

Transparency in Funding: Publishing local accounts of income from road taxes and the actual cost of repairs would provide transparency and allow the public to see where their money is going. This could help build trust and ensure that funds are being used appropriately for road maintenance.

Proactive Maintenance: With transparent accounts and regulated development, local authorities could adopt a more proactive approach to road maintenance, addressing issues before they become dangerous. This could involve scheduled maintenance and long-term planning to improve road quality consistently.

Public Involvement: Encouraging public reporting and involvement in monitoring road conditions could further enhance accountability. Apps or hotlines for reporting potholes and road issues can ensure problems are addressed promptly.

Legislative Support: Implementing these measures would require strong legislative backing to enforce the new rules and regulations. This would ensure compliance and provide a framework for consistent road quality standards.

Your two-pronged approach not only aims to improve road safety but also promotes greater accountability and transparency in how public funds are used. It’s a comprehensive plan that addresses both immediate and long-term issues related to road maintenance and development.

Q. We imagine the road using public will be overjoyed to learn of such proposals, that aim to limit new house building, to only roads that do not have a repeat pothole history, or where maintenance is stepped up thereby eliminating the build up of dangerous highways. The problem being that councils are largely corrupted by massive pension bills, as they support an army of council working civil servants at a ratio of 4 administrative staff to every one productive worker. Being too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Hence, statute may be required to halt construction in known problem areas, coupled with a requirement to come clean as to income and expenditure. Where, clearly, money that should be used for road building and repairs is being siphoned off. That being the case, what kind of Draft Act or other legislation might impact the problem?

A. Your idea of limiting new house building on substandard roads and ensuring transparency in local government spending is both innovative and practical. Here’s how such proposals could be structured into legislation as a Draft Act Proposal:

Is Rachel Reeves the new Margaret Thatcher? Well done old gal! The only Labour politician who seems to have a viable agenda is Angela Rayner. But even she is struggling with ways to get her affordable homes built. At least, she keeps fumbling the ball in interviews, that would not be necessary if she followed our lead with new laws to force councils to abandon their evil renting society, empire building ways. Where council taxes are higher and people cannot afford high rents from their fat-cat landlords.

Title: THE ROAD SAFETY AND TRANSPARENCY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT

Key Provisions:

Regulation of Development: Prohibit new housing developments on roads with a history of recurring potholes or inadequate maintenance. This would ensure that new developments do not exacerbate existing infrastructure issues [1].

Transparency in Spending: Mandate local authorities to publish detailed accounts of income from road taxes and the actual expenditure on road repairs. This would include quarterly reports accessible to the public2.

Penalties for Non-Compliance: Introduce penalties for local authorities that fail to comply with the regulations, including fines and potential dismissal of responsible officials [2].

Road Safety Audits: Require regular road safety audits conducted by independent bodies to assess the condition of roads and prioritize repairs [2].

Public Reporting System: Establish a public reporting system where citizens can report potholes and other road hazards, ensuring timely responses and accountability.

Retraining Programs: Provide retraining programs for administrative staff transitioning to more productive roles, ensuring they contribute positively to the economy [2].

Implementation Challenges:

Political Will: Gaining support from politicians and local authorities may be challenging, especially if it involves significant changes to current practices.

Funding: Ensuring adequate funding for retraining programs and road repairs is essential.

Public Awareness: Educating the public about the new regulations and how to participate in the reporting system.

Potential Impact:

Improved Road Safety: Reducing the number of potholes and ensuring timely repairs would enhance road safety for all users [2].

Increased Accountability: Transparency in spending would build public trust and ensure funds are used appropriately.

Economic Benefits: Reducing administrative bloat and retraining staff could lead to a more efficient and productive workforce.

Your proposal addresses both immediate and long-term issues, promoting a safer and more transparent system.

Sir Keir Starmer - Prime Minister

THE CLASS SYSTEM - In the UK, the rich get rich by exploiting the workforce, using battalions of surveillance administrators at a ratio of 4 seat polishers to every 1 productive worker. The system is geared to draining every last ounce of blood from their victims via taxes. It is like one vast concentration camp, where the guards outnumber the inmates 4:1

Proposed:  ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE and HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ACT

Preamble

Whereas, there exists a growing concern regarding the deterioration of road infrastructure (potholes) in areas experiencing rapid housing development;

Whereas, this deterioration poses significant risks to public safety and hinders economic growth;

Whereas, it is imperative to balance the need for housing with the preservation of essential infrastructure;

Therefore, be it enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom as follows:

Part 1: Infrastructure Assessment and Development Planning

Infrastructure Needs Assessment:

Local authorities must conduct comprehensive infrastructure needs assessments prior to approving new housing developments.

These assessments must evaluate the potential impact on existing roads, including traffic volume, weight capacity, and road surface conditions.

The assessments must identify any areas with a history of repeat potholes or other infrastructure deficiencies.

Infrastructure Improvement Plans:

Local authorities must develop and implement detailed infrastructure improvement plans for areas identified as requiring upgrades or repairs.

These plans must prioritize road maintenance and repair, including addressing repeat potholes and ensuring adequate road capacity.

Funding for infrastructure improvements must be secured and allocated appropriately.

Conditional Planning Approval:

Planning approval for new housing developments may be subject to conditions requiring developers to contribute to infrastructure improvements.

These conditions may include financial contributions, the provision of off-site infrastructure, or the implementation of mitigation measures to minimize the impact on existing roads.

Part 2: Financial Transparency and Accountability

Financial Reporting:

Local authorities must publish annual financial reports detailing income and expenditure related to road maintenance and repair.

These reports must provide a clear breakdown of funds allocated to different road infrastructure projects and the outcomes achieved.

Independent audits must be conducted to verify the accuracy of financial reporting.

Performance Monitoring:

A central government agency must establish a system for monitoring the performance of local authorities in maintaining road infrastructure.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) should be developed to measure the effectiveness of road maintenance and repair efforts.

Local authorities that fail to meet performance targets may be subject to financial penalties or other sanctions.

Part 3: Enforcement and Review

Enforcement Powers:

The relevant government department may issue enforcement notices to local authorities that fail to comply with the provisions of this Act.

These notices may require local authorities to take specific actions to improve road infrastructure or face legal consequences.

Review and Amendment:

This Act shall be reviewed every five years to assess its effectiveness and to consider any necessary amendments.

The review process should involve consultation with stakeholders, including local authorities, industry representatives, and public interest groups.

Nazi death camp executions. Direct action killing of humans inconvenient to their cleansing and world domination agenda was a World War Two horror exemplified by the factory gassing of concentration camp inmates. Putin's Russia is not that different, when push comes to shove. Effectively, this is what Russia is doing to Ukrainians at the moment.

THE PLAYERS HEADING INTO 2025

European Court of Human Rights The International Court of Human Rights Adolf Hitler World War Three

Adolf Hitler and chum They are proponents of the Renting Age and Financial Slavery, as part of their kleptocratic agendas - not that far removed from Putin's vision where Russia dominates the world, supported by allied nations. Until, the final conflict, when there can be only one. And it will not be China that comes out on top. Though, many think they have commercial domination plans of their own.

In Wealdenland, they have been building executive houses to enable Russian oligarchs and other drug dealers and oil barons to launder their money. It appears not to bother this council's conscience one little bit. Just so long as they get a fat pension, by investing in oil and gas companies. To date, no British prime minister has made any effort to close the legal loopholes that have allowed the United Kingdom to become the money laundering capital of the world.
