Action Man

At last we have someone who leads on the action front.

Frank Field recommends landlords to brick up doorways or knock down walls to deal with the unjust Bedroom Tax. I'm blocking up doorways, and have already done it

I've been waiting for a politician who shows a practical lead we can follow if we wish. It's great that it follows a historic tradition of fighting government decrees: blocking up windows when your tax was related to the number of windows you had.

Rather than campaigning for change we can thwart an unjust government by immediately doing something: and my, it feels good.

Now will the government do something sensible and encourage some affordable small houses/flats built fast with appropriate legislation:

Ten bars of Kendal Mint Cake to every property owner for every small unit they create to help local people. Better still a barrel of Ulverston Brewery Beer rather than the 'foreign' Mint Cake.

Robinsons Brewery would be an ideal start : the prize beer would make it a bitter sweet reward. They could offer it to us on a Saturday Market Day to make up for their previous insults to local traders (supermarket indeed)
