Oh, you were right by the way, @andrewroche.bsky.social

I was very wrong.

But that is not unusual!

Greater Manchester Tenants Union Opposes Demolitions on Lower Falinge.

So far the disastrous social cleansing plans, proposed and initiated by the discredited former management of RBH, and now continued by the unaccountable new regime of this rogue social landlord, have already led to a loss of 204 Social Rent homes on Lower Falinge, with ongoing discrimination against vulnerable tenants, and the destruction and displacement of the most diverse community in central Rochdale.

If the demolition goes ahead:

128 social rent homes will be lost in total - a waste of valuable
existing assets.

32 accessible homes will be lost - a disproportionate negative
impact on disabled people.

64 family homes will be lost - a disproportionate negative impact
on children.

There are no plans to replace the lost homes - reducing the
number of homes in the town centre.

There are currently over 22,000 people on Rochdale’s housing waiting list.

Temporary accommodation costs have more than doubled recently
to Β£4.6 million per year.

2 large expanses of urban green space providing safe, secure
amenity/play areas will be lost.

Mature trees and shrubs will also be lost - safe urban roost,
nest and foraging sites for many bird species and bats will be
lost - huge negative impact upon urban biodiversity and pollinator
habitat.

There will be unnecessary and prolonged disruption to existing
tenants and residents.

Take action now - using the details overleaf, visit the planning portal,
sign our petition or write to your councillors to make your voices heard.

I’m denying it cuz it ain’t true,,, And instead of apologizing,,, you just trying to double down on an article from 9 years ago before he was president and before he was even the nominee.

For a moment I thought this related to the announcement that the BBC have secured snooker triple crown coverage until 2032.

I know it's partly because re-reading the IICSA report quite as much over such a short space of time has made me miserable and fractious, but I am almost blind with rage at the people who visibly have not even bothered *still* to acquaint themselves with the inquiry they have decided is inadequate.
