Whilst based on very true events some of that is nonsensical neoliberal propaganda
I read it before and he’s as good as claiming that the setting up of green belt was one of the tools used to thwart Brum, he neglects to mention that this was done all over the country to preserve green space for the people who lived in the cities and wasn’t Birmingham specific, in fact the first green belt was around London pre-WW2, he doesn’t seem to mention that bit. Can you imagine the uproar if they’d allowed Sutton Park to be turned into an industrial estate?
The aim of that thread is propaganda, nothing more, nothing less.
