Rural schools order 'hypocritical'

As a country we really need an upfront debate about what we want our country to look like, and stop letting things just happen by drift.

It needs to be an honest debate, somethings cost serious money and might have less effect than we imagine. Are we prepared to pay for that ?

Do we want to village life to continue, or are we happy for villages to die and rot, and have 99% of the pouplation live in crowded towns ?

If we are serious about keeping villages going then they need schools - small schools - uneconomic post offices, subsidised shops, good public transport, and live-in police. And we will have to stop building huge new estates everytime a builder buys a field.

At the moment all these things are being eaten away by stealth. http://com1.runboard.com/bhomeland
