- Comment on Police officers widely misusing body-worn cameras 1 year ago:
Why is it even possible to turn off or delete footage from these cameras? I would have thought they would be treated like black box recorders - always on, always recording, and only reviewed when absolutely necessary.
This is like a failure of both technology and policing culture.

- Comment on UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead. 1 year ago:
One of the reasons illegal drugs are as dangerous as they are is because they are illegal. Their illicit nature means they are manufactured and distributed without any proper oversight or regulation, leading to dangerous lack of quality control.
If recreational drugs could be purchased with proper standards for purity, dosage etc they would be much safer for their users.
- Comment on London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council 1 year ago:
What a waste. Although considering the amount of corner cutting on the building’s appearance and features, I’m not sure I’d trust the structural integrity either.
The apartments are occupied too so demolishing them is could leave people homeless.
I would hope lessons will be learned from this, plenty more rogue developments could slip through if we are ever going to ramp up house building to the needed levels without proper oversight.

- Comment on Government to replace HS2 rail link to Manchester with brand new horse and cart 1 year ago:
Historically horse-drawn railways were a thing. Perhaps we could revive that as a sort of compromise, build the track but save money on not buying any trains.
