I had always assumed that the land just northeast of the M25 J25 was green

Has New Labour finally lived up to Prescott's promise... "The green belt is
one of Labour's finest achievements and we intend to build on it."?


Drove past last week - it looks like another big distribution depot
and a new Travelodge.


It's the new printing plant for News International. I drive past it
every day... I'm suprised a Travelodge is upmarket enough for their
visitors...

I was looking at it from Gilwell Park last Sunday, it truly is vast.

(And yes, it is greenbelt. But it once was put forward as a huge
shopping mall, and also as a site for travellers - and what Murdoch
wants, Murdoch gets - as a rule).
