Comment on Feeding The Homeless, Reducing Waste by Jennifer Shaw

Research shows that 10 to 15% of prostitutes are drug addicts. Trafficking and pimping likewise occur with only a minority or prostitutes. I would support anything that would help coerced women, but people are using these issues to try and stop prostitution in itself. Trying to ban prostitution would make women less safe, more likely to face death and injury. Better to legalize it.

Comment on Belper Against Tesco Superstore (BATS) by Simon

Simon — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:16:57 +0000

What’s not clear in any of the literature is the category of store Tesco is proposing. Is it to be a:

1. Tesco Express (generally small convenience stores)
2. Tesco Metro (usually in town / city centres, with a stronger empahsis on smaller packaged goods and the luxury market)
3. A standard “Tesco” store
4. Tesco Extra (with pharmacy, cafeteria, clothing, electricalm household, photo-processing, in-store optician, etc)

“Greed is good, we were told. So young idiots took note and explored midnight opportunities in the retail sector.”

Do you really believe those people were thinking like that? I don’t believe you do. Not deep down. You just want to fit eveents into your worldview.

Comment on Time to take the Tesco out of Food Policy by Lexander Wist

Lexander Wist — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 01:05:55 +0000

The quastion about food miles and where our food comes from is not just a westminster question it is more of a quastion about the impact of the european common market.
We in britain have given away our power when it comes to agriculture and fishery policy, if we look to a country like norway as a exampel they are not a member of the EU this have protected small farmers and have protected farmers from food from the EU thath have been maste produced and might not have been don to the same standered, it have allso protected there fishing stock from over fishing and from growing away good fish becouse of idiotic EU rulles.
well we are a part of the EU and have to work within the rulles, but the goverment should start promoting allotments and homegrowing not just for the benefits of fresh and healthy food, and food thath is local. But promote the health efect of gardening and the maybe more relevante benefit the cost of homegrown food.

I would like to see this from the goverment:
- no more then a 1 year wating list for anyone who wants a allotment.
- importet food should be licenced to be sold in britain so thath consumers know thath there food if it is from aborad thath the animal have hadde the same standered of life as british animals.
- new fishing policy no more dead fish overboard.
- no more supperstores and retail centers away from where pepole live.
- higher business rates for suppermarkets and big retails park.
- lower or no business rates for small indipendent stores, Jobs are created by small business not big business.

Comment on Our Forests are Not for Sale by Mike

Mike — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:47:04 +0000

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have failed to find a comprehensive list of FC sites. I have located a map, but the sites are not named. I do know that the woods around Ladybower are FC and part of the National Forest is in South Derbyshire. This is run by a publicly owned company that I presume will be sold as a going concern. The Forestry Trust has advised me that the list of woodlands to be sold has not yet been finalised, when it is it will be published on the Forestry Commission website. It was also suggested to me that the National Park Ranger service will have the details of FC land at least in the Peak Park, but I have not followed this up.
Regards
Mike
