Nanny Hates Fags - Smoking Walks Along The A50

This story isn't online. It should be. Inhuman. @Leicester_Merc pic.twitter.com/XH3pF6IFF6

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust has introduced a ban on smoking, and enforces it so rigorously that even those in the Bradgate Mental Health Unit are being taken on "smoking walks" near to the A50 in order to have a fag.

Inhuman isn't the word!

The Joy of Pom-Poms

A wee while ago the BBC reported that Leicestershire police tried "yarn bombing" (placing hundreds of pom-poms and other knitted items on trees) in Bede Park and Great Central Way.

The rationale being to encourage people to use the areas more, and thus reduce crime.

Needless to say many people rushed to condemn the idea as being bonkers.

However, in my humble view, the police may have a point.

There are two ways to make an area feel "safe":

1 Have it visibly patrolled day and night by a large number of policemen, or

2 Ensure that it is used, day and night, by a large number of decent law abiding citizens.

The sad reality of many "no go" areas in the UK is that they have become "no go" because of people's fear of crime. Once people have become afraid of an area, they avoid it thus leaving it free for use by the criminals.

As "easy" as it may be to simply patrol an area day and night with a phalanx of policemen, aside from the cost of diverting scare resources and the feeling that one is living in a police state, this does not make the area fell any safer as it in fact reinforces the image of danger.

Until people over come their fear and use the afflicted areas themselves, en masse,  the criminals will always win.

That's a pretty sad state of affairs to be in.

I credit the Leicestershire Police for at least trying something innovative.
