Probably best not to read this
I think it should be read widely, it exposes alot of the myths and hypocrisy around boat homes.
"Boating does make you more conscious of the environment"
....
"all boats have diesel engines"
"We burn firewood and coal for heating"
"The best bit is being able to have a real fire"They can all get in the fucking sea. Lung disease, heart disease and athsma caused by particulates are all increasing, especially among children. Theres a reason fires were banned– everyone was getting ill and no-one could see anything– and there's a reason diesel is being phased out. We need to build modern, green homes for people on brownfield sites, not romanticise this polluting, antisocial, unsustainable bullshit.
