Accidentally got into a discussion with an American about gun control because, on a post about school shootings, they commented saying “yeah but the UK has a stabbing problem” ffs. Stabbings are bad but the two are absolutely not comparable.

Closing Westdene library when the Government is promising a library for every primary school would be a very strange decision.
The Council should rethink these harsh proposals and vote to preserve our libraries tomorrow.

In the National Year of Reading, continued austerity should not make children lose a safe space to read.
The Council must vote to prevent closure, particularly when the Govt has promised a library in every primary school and Westdene Library is… attached to a primary school.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
