Saw this heartbreaking story on the X account of someone called Sal Robins. It tells the terrible story of how a stupid ideological decision by a local council and the council’s failure to admit that they were wrong, can utterly destroy a well established and happy British community.
What’s horrible about this particular story is that it is unlikely to be singular in nature. There’s probably a whole host of councils who are imposing societies drek on the people who don’t want them, don’t need them and truly don’t deserve them. Councils across the UK are pulling idiotic and counterproductive stunts like this not just with ASBO wallahs as in this case, but also thieving junkies, out of control mental cases, ‘problem families’ and individuals from that ever increasing number of dinghy rapists and similar scum allowed in by the national government.
Please excuse the formatting of the quoted article from X but I do not wish to change it to read and look better in case my editing detracts from Ms Robins’s powerful and sadly true words.

All they want is to be listened to & taken seriously.
No one listened to my parents & their friends so they moved or died.
