Leave Jabbott the Hutt alone.

She's doing a grand job in persuading people of the sheer lunacy of voting for the Loony Party.

Julie, we have all had family or friends living in flats, I did not say flats were the future slums. I said that land grabbing to make allotments (not little gardens for each tenant) does not work. It would simply encourage squatters and goodness knows what else going on in an area where families would be bringing up children , concentrated in a particular area. All going to the same school, all the parents going to the same school gate. Some might call it community, but believe me, too closed a community is a dangerous place eventually.

Why would it encourage squatters ?
People don't as far as I know squat on allotments .
Allotments are good for people who live in flats or houses with small gardens -as so many are these days- and have no outdoor space, humans need to feel close to the earth.
It a valuable hobby and what with Brexit it all helps to grow your own stuff!

Unless you have worked in the middle of a council community you probably would not understand. Their world is too contained to their immediate surroundings. They all sit in the same classrooms at school, they play in the same park, they go to the same swimming pool, they go to the same pub, they deal the same drugs in the parks and outside the schools, they have the same racist views, they do not travel and expand their interaction. Ultimately they get into trouble together. It's another way of keeping everyone in the same space, rather than allowing them to mix into a far wider society. If you think that's wrong, then there's nothing left to say.
The trouble is, everyone these days looks at things and how it affects them , not how it pertains to those involved.

Once upon a time we had various schools to choose from for secondary education. Some from a neighbourhood went to one school another child went to another, and they created friends and activities outside of their immediate environment, which in turn created individuals.
Some of these kids now would love to escape from certain circumstances but they are trapped within the system created for them because everything is within their immediate proximity. They have no need to go anywhere further than 200 hundred yards from their homes
I think I've explained that well enough to be understood.
As it happens, there's a local council estate near to me, with allotments , but nobody want them anyway, so they are being sold to build more flats.
