Safer streets, fairer justice
Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?
Scrap Soft Sentencing for Repeat Offenders
I was reading in the local paper about a bloke who'd been arrested for the fifth time for burglary in our area, and I just about lost my temper. This guy's been in and out of court for years, always getting let off with a slap on the wrist,
Finally, a real plan to fund science — not just more tinkering
We need a new national science fund, managed by a public body with actual scientists and educators on its board, not just politicians and business types. This fund would exclusively support long-term, curiosity-driven research in universiti
Scrap the HS2 White Elephant
I'm proposing we cancel the HS2 project and divert the funds to upgrading our existing rail network, it's a no-brainer when you look at the costs and benefits. The current plans are going to soak up over a hundred billion pounds, which coul
Frankly, it’s past time we stopped talking and actually put proper digital protections in place for our children.
Frankly, how can we possibly expect children to navigate the digital world we’ve created for them without putting some serious safeguards in place? It just seems like we've let things get completely out of hand, hoping for the best when it
Kids need digital literacy not just bans
I propose we introduce compulsory digital literacy classes in schools to teach children how to navigate social media safely and critically. This is needed because simply restricting access to social media won't address the underlying issues
Why are we still teaching Welsh history like a footnote in England's story? Time to fix this.
Seriously, why are we still forcing kids to learn about the Norman conquest of England before they can even tell you who Owain Glyndŵr was? It’s like we expect them to understand the foundations of their own country before they’ve even been
Protecting Cymru's Rivers, Not Just a Fine
As someone who's spent years teaching Welsh history, I've seen how our country's natural beauty has been exploited and damaged. The issue of corporate pollution in our rivers is no exception. I was dismayed to read about the state of the Av
Scrap the pointless short sentences for minor crimes
What's the point of chucking someone in prison for a few weeks for shoplifting or minor assault, it's just a waste of taxpayers' money and doesn't solve anything. I mean think about it, these short sentences don't rehabilitate anyone, they
Enough with the slap on the wrist for corporations trashing our rivers!
I was down by the Avon last weekend, trying to enjoy a bit of sunshine, and saw a patch of water near the industrial estate that was just… oily. Rainbow sheen, dead bits of plant life floating in it. It made me so angry. How many times have
Scrap the Nuclear Obsession
I was talking to my nephew who's in the army and he was saying how much of their budget is taken up by maintaining our nuclear deterrent, it's staggering, and for what, I ask you. We're not going to use it, we all know that, it's just a sym
Let's Get Proper People in Charge of Town Hall Jobs
It’s all well and good talking about diplomats, chuck, but what about the people running things right here in Grimsby? We’ve got council positions that seem to go to whoever’s got the loudest voice or the right mates, not necessarily the on
Stop giving Lottery money to museums no one visits, start funding local arts centres!
Why are we still giving National Lottery Heritage Fund cash to the same few big national museums that already get massive public funding, when so many local arts centres and community hubs are struggling to keep the lights on? It makes no s
Why are petty crimes treated like major felonies and vice versa?
Seriously, why does shoplifting a pack of biscuits get a criminal record while deliberately polluting a river gets a slap on the wrist fine that the company just writes off as a cost of doing business? It makes no sense. We're essentially t
Local Jobs for Local People, Not Just Lip Service
What's the point of having all these big corporations in our city if they're just going to import workers from elsewhere and not even bother training any locals. I mean it's just common sense that if you're going to set up shop in our commu
Politicians bickering while the country's going to rack and ruin. What a surprise.
Why do we even bother with these by-elections? It's all the same old waffle from people who've never done a day's honest work in their lives. They talk about the issues, but they never actually fix anything. Just more hot air and promises t
Scrap the Youth Justice System
I think we should get rid of the youth justice system and treat young offenders like adults, they should face the consequences of their actions. It's time to stop mollycoddling them and expecting the rest of us to pay for their rehabilitati
Scrap Stop and Search, it's a racist mess
I was at the Brixton market last weekend and saw a kid, no more than 15, getting stopped and searched by the police. He was just standing there, minding his own business, and the next thing you know he's being told to empty his pockets. I'v
End automatic early release for 'short' sentences - brings the whole system into disrepute.
The current system of automatically releasing prisoners serving less than four years after serving just half their sentence needs to end. It’s a policy born of a misguided attempt to manage prison overcrowding, not justice. Margaret and I w
Enough With The Green Blob’s Virtue Signalling Already
I’m sick to death of seeing my council dig up perfectly good roads for yet another "cycle superhighway" that’s barely used, while the actual traffic grinds to a halt. It’s all performative nonsense, isn't it? They’re not actually solving an
Stop locking up petty offenders – it's a waste of everyone's time and money
We need to stop sending people to prison for minor, non-violent offenses like shoplifting or minor drug possession. Instead, we should invest that money into community-based rehabilitation programs. Think about it, a short prison sentence o
