Below is a chart that illustrates which Labour figures signed off with the Tories on the nationwide rollout of 12 Freeports. All 12 Freeports are housed in a much larger Special Economic Zone (SEZ) which range from 34 - 75km in diameter. I expect to find more Labour figures in due course.

Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
