Jesus, you're almost 'but at least there's funding for...' at the end, but then the 'uniformed youth groups' gets thrown in as some parting shot.

I dunno, it's just so utterly fucking stupid; we have a report saying the met (and it's laughable to think other forces are much better) are institutionally racist and completely broken, so the solution to crime is to give police wider powers in er... 'crime hotspots' apparently the euphemism du jour. Oh, and make more people homeless while they're at it. Probably for kicking up a fuss about the damp. Fucking genius.

e2a: to be (overly) fair the youth activity stuff is in separate brackets.

which uniformed youth groups ?

the MoD already chuck a chunk of cahnge at Army / Air Cadets and indirectly to the Sea Cadets as well as CCFs and the University Military units

Scouting / Guiding/ St John get jack all for youth work , the Dead Loss (BRC) gave up on youth units years ago

Pedantry yes, Policing no
In the interests of clarity.
Some hospital trusts offer Pethidine in early labour. Pethidine is a synthetic opid that has 1/10 the strength of morphine.

IM or IV morphine is given in some units to people in labour

becasue Amyl was banned from none regualted sale , becasue of the real health risks it presents

Yes, now you have to buy isopropyl nitrite, which actually has worse health risks than the relatively harmless isobutyl nitrate. There may be some kind of a lesson to take from this.

Anyway, is there an official date for when we have to get our nos stockpiles in by?

13 tonnes of canisters collected after Notting Hill carnival - as nitrous oxide to be made illegal

The move, set to come into force at the end of the year, comes after an investigation by Sky News revealed there had been a spike in hospital admissions caused by people using the party drug. Nitrous oxide is the second most commonly used drug among 16 to 24-year-olds in England.

What a pointless ban that has no hope in hell being enforced. Can’t believe the huge cross party Commons majority that passed the bill. Both sides probably on a bit of pre-election “tough on crime” posturing.

Designate something as criminal so you can be seen to crack down on it

It reminds of that quick Labour pre-election re-reclassification of weed from C to B.

You know I've wondered if Suella would make an attempt to "culture war" with weed by suggesting it move to A and call opposition "soft on drugs" etc

Nothing would surprise me anymore. Meanwhile the gulf btw legislation and enforcement grows ever wider.

 

[quiet guy]

Absolutely ridiculous. Just shows the shit show of Government we have. Legislate for this but don't deal with the real economic devestation running rife through society and delay acting on a 4 year old promise to remove landlords right to evict tenants without prior warnings
