Continued from the previous page, Ian Abley thinks that Jeff Rooker should be criticised for his treatment of immigrants, for presiding over the lack of housebuilding activity, and for keeping the failed Green Belt policy.
Equally busy preventing immigration out of faux-concern for the immigrant, Rooker has some experience of housing: in the 1980s he was Labour's spokesman for housing, enjoying excellent relations with the House Builders Federation, and being the principal speaker at the HBF Annual Luncheon in 1986.
Rooker knows there is insufficient housebuilding, but constrains development through Green Belt and a presumption against green field development on Britain's surplus farmland.
