Some events/issues require an immediate response. This was one of them.
You cannot wait in responding to something so serious.

What is islamo-socialism? I get the "socialism" bit, not the "islamo" bit. Is it because the independent MPs in question are Muslim?
This sounds islamophobic to me!

Or g'ment could introduce a new "use class" which captures both hotels and hostels. So can switch between.
The main issue on all these would be - all hotels could make use of such national provisions. I would make it time limitted so it's not worth it for "proper hotels" to change to hostels.

2... extended by Tories in recent years. All sorts of changes, which used to require permission, are now allowed under PD.
Change allowed could be time limitted, eg. say for 2 years.
Could be done under secondary legislation, I think, so quick and easy.

The gment could sort this out fairly easily.
Could change relevant planning regs to allow change of use from hotel to a hostel under something called permitted development (PD), meaning such change would not require planning permission. What is allowed under PD has been massively extended..

The way British media is covering this, the questions at the press conference - it was disgusting. Chris Mason, Preston, Beth Rigby; they were all awful, such hostility in their tone, such unserious framing. Disgusting.

Loved it.
Downloaded it so I can listen on a flight back to London. (Was dreading the flight, as not well following a food poisoning on holiday).
I was transported to a a parallel world. It was like magic.
Pure joy.
Thank you.

Well done to @lewisgoodall.com .
It would be good to see more UK journos challenging people in this way "You can't disagree. It's a fact".
Not just radio show callers, but challenging politicians and their spox.
