We need a system where some politicians – who quite rightly respond to the public mood – are prepared to stand up in favour of housebuilding, so I came up with a system that gives local people something they really want in return for building more homes. In our case in Hatfield, it’s a new town centre.

I am not in a bad mood. Everyone is just.. annoying.

Every song’s a favorite song
And mics don’t feed back.

And mics don’t feed back.

I think the eyes are very revealing and can expose a lot about a persons mood or character.
