Having a clear-out at Mum’s. My t-shirt from 1988. #clause28. My big belly wouldn’t fit in it now but the slogan has never been bettered imho. Except now we would be more inclusive of course. #LGBTQ+

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Having worked with housing developers, I know ONLY mandatory measures will succeed - all environmental planning conditions are treated with disdain and something to work around or evade, in my experience. Come on Matthew Pennycook, you know you can do better.
