Small Island has "Bought the Farm" (Self-inflicted)

BBC Radio 4's "Farming Today This Week" tells of 2,500 houses to be built on farm land near Yeovil. This is despite strong local opposition, and much of Somerset being flooded. The Housing Minister says it is necessary. We all know why it is "necessary" - over-population. Please sign my epetition to the Home Office that addresses this: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/37853 Thanks!

Somerset, and other parts of Britain (e.g. the Thames Valley), are again badly flooded.
I am not alone in being indignant about new buildings.
"It is criminal that high grade farmland is used for building when future generations will need it for food production." (Cornish Nation, December 2013, page 7)
