    • Somebody appears to be making money from it, albeit not much. Who?
    • That's weird 2 years ago it was definitely one or the other not both. My son is at East doing A levels, i would say that generally there are some great teachers there and the kids form good relationships with their subject teachers but for me the overall management and crushing yet inconsistent behavioural policy really affects their day to day experience of learning. They are expected to attend the dreaded tutor time every morning even though they may not not have a lesson until much later, some kids might manage this but it gets very frustrating in the end. Maybe the same at North. 
    • Not having a pop at you, Huggers, but what a hideous image. Credit to you for the pic. The image says it all. It dissuages people from parking up. It prevents people who don't use mobiles from interactions with other folk and making commercial exchanges. It stops people paying other people's wages. It's confusing. It stifles businesses and therefore tax income. It encourages unnecessary pollution by causing drivers to carry on elsewhere. It promotes an imaginary cashless economy, which will never work.   X
    • I believe they can enhance the CCTV footage with facial recognition software. Whether they deploy that for a local mugging is anyone's guess, but it's captured in news articles they use it at airports, demonstrations and football matches. Be nice if they compelled the person they caught to make some sort of restitution to the victim. One day last week I saw a bunch of guys in orange hi viz vests in Dulwich Park cleaning up leaves - the vests had Community Payback (or something similar, can't remember exaclty) written on the back. On 1 hand I was like "that's good" but on the other hand I thought the slogan on the back was a bit demeaning.  In my mind, the fear of god to make you rethink your life choices should be inculcated during the police/charging/judicial process where what you once thought was just a harmless mugging/shoplifting/vandalism etc. is in fact wrong and taken seriously by experienced professionals who are there to clamp down on these things.  That should be what's in the forefront of a person's mind -- not "oh no I might have to wear that hi viz vest again"....
