@@SaintGerbilUK Those are two separate problems - both of which need tackling. But you can't tackle the expensive housing problem if you can't build more housing, and you can't tackle the low productivity of the country by not building industry anywhere due to the noise. (You also really shouldn't be preventing anything from being built near you because you were scammed with your property price. That vindictive mindset is exactly why the roads are shit and there are no skilled jobs to be found.) Interestingly, it would just take a reform of the noise laws that force the company to guarantee some level of peace to the neighbourhood (be it via noise walls, tree borders or other forms of dampening tech) and then that problem of yours would vanish. It can be done. Those same things can be done to improve the visuals of an industrial unit - it doesn't need to look like some depressing soviet hangar.

[@nota-comedian2487]

Increase in policing actually has shown to encourage pro-social behaviours (such as employment and better education) in poor communities. Do you have a problem with those communities? "The results show that citizens who perceive police partnerships favorably report fewer problems related to incivilities and also express higher levels of safety. Findings front models including cross-level interaction terms indicate that the positive outcomes associated with police partnerships are not restricted to citizens residing in affluent neighborhoods. In our ecological analysis, we find that police community collaboration is associated with higher aggregate quality of life assessments and that community policing as a form of public social control mediates the adverse effects of concentrated disadvantage. The findings support social-psychological and ecological theories on which community policing practices are partially based." (Source: Can Community Policing Help The Truly Disadvantaged? M. Reisig, 2004.)

[@Me-lm6yd]

@@nota-comedian2487 You're conflating community policing with general policing practices. It's a specific way of operating designed to cut out crime at the source by having officers work in a more preventative, local way. It's really good and definitely works. "Tough on crime" however, appeals to something else though. The phrasing dates back to Nixon in the US, and generally ends up leading to minor offenses being prosecuted in a rlly draconian way. If you posture by repeating the line "tough on crime", it inherently has pressure to up prosecutions and average sentences. A lot of the most serious crimes are difficult to prosecute - so you end up with minor stuff like mean social media posts and possession of small quantities of substances being pursued heavily as a placeholder. So as great as community policing is, that's not where his language is leading. Bare in mind that starmer was a prosecutor, hes more of a hardliner than someone used to preventative approaches. If it's used on serious crimes - great! Some need a heavy handed approach. But it wont be.

[@nota-comedian2487]

@@Me-lm6yd oh right, I didn't realise. Thanks for your comment, it's really informative. I'm very torn when it comes to things like crime and law since my sense of morality is weak, but I definitely do think we need harsher sentences for some crimes (e.g. women get lighter sentences than men for the same crimes.

Still incredibly unambitious and daring for what the country needs. But hopefully it's a gradual step in the right direction.

06:08 yeah, like that will work. They are already losing so many nurses due to overwork and your solution is to overwork them more? The problem is the pay not matching the work, if you raise the wages for these employees then more of the nurses the UK are making will stay. The problem is that they are training nurses only for them to move to other countries where they are paid more.
