New houses on Rose Hill

Today was a good day to be a councillor for Rose Hill. We had the big press launch of the new housing scheme, replacing horrible pre-fabs with 250-odd new homes (lots of social housing, some part-rent part-buy, some elderly, some for private sale to fund the rest). Councillors, council staff, housing association staff and the guys from Taylor Wimpey doing the heavy lifting, as well as most importantly, local residents who will move into the new homes, gathered in front of the first homes. Another step forward for Rose Hill. Here’s the Oxford Mail’s article.

    So tell me o great champion of LGBT rights, why haven’t you condemned Jacqui “Smith” Spliff for trying to deport gays and lesbians back to Iran, where they will certainly be arrested, tortured and executed?

    I guess you just don’t care about LGBT rights after all. What hypocrisy!
