IIt is unfortunate that David Jock’s proposal in 2019 to cancel the short prison sentences was rejected after the dismissal of the Minister of Justice at the time by Boris Johnson.“Creative Use of Punishment”: closing operations similar to the proposed Kovid for criminals in England and WalesNews).
The prohibition of prison sentences for two years or less means that those convicted of committing minor crimes can serve an alternative method for punishment in society. This would also reduce the number of people who are reserved because those who are likely to face a non -detention penalty will be released on bail.
In addition to reducing the pressure on prisons, this option also helps in supporting a non -representative category, but it is especially at risk in our society – children of prisoners. It is proven that the results for the prisoners’ families may be very bad. The presence of a parent in prison is a “negative childhood experience”, and therefore the children of prisoners are more likely to suffer from a set of possible exhausted results, such as poor academic achievement and an increase in the risk of themselves to become criminals.

Are the closures such as the Corona virus and the curfew for 20 hours are a significant improvement in the traditional prison? It seems that the Bar Council is confused about whether its proposals are intended to be a way to treat overcrowding, or to be based on the recognition that the prison is not beneficial.
And if there is a recognition of the health of the latter, it is useful to admit that the damage caused by prison lies in part in breaking social ties, by removing prisoners from friends and family life. Criminals have higher rates of thinking about the usual suicide. How will they help reproduce the closing conditions?
The various alternatives and alternatives are the various seizures that extend its roots to the refusal to recognize that this type of isolated behavior showed by most criminals is derived from the failures of the form we live in our society – and that capitalism promotes an aggressive, anti -society and competitive behavior model. As long as we refuse this matter, the problems that the prison failed to address will continue.

Solve Reefs problems
One of the options available to the advisor is the upcoming construction of regional government/provinces (“Keir Starmer will have to stick“Commentary). If they can be allowed to review the council’s tax or its equivalent, the central government’s need to support local services will decrease significantly. This will not be a complete solution to Rachel Reeves problems, but it will definitely make a difference.

The duty to care for patients
The first duty of the government is to maintain the safety of citizens and it is clear from the Royal Nursing College report that the government fails to do so (“”Fatigue, shame and sorrow: The nurses are crushed by the Broken National Health Services Authority“, comment).
I agree that the government was not the reason for this, but where is the feeling of urgency? Wes Street, Minister of Health, said he could not count that patients will not be treated in the corridors next year. Special health care, which provides almost any accident and emergency services, will not help, so what is the plan?

Sign out of Amazon
I salute Stewart Lee in his abandonment of Amazon, Facebook and X (“The era of dark information here. I am registering the exit“A new review). After you avoided buying anything on Amazon or being on social media, I sometimes felt isolated.
To make him the second richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos sold the amenities, and in this process he undermined the feasibility of our main streets, and at the same time he managed to pay almost any taxes. Many praised the virtues of Facebook, but while Mark Zuckerberg claims that he is a preacher of freedom of expression, he has also become a billionaire by selling our data. We are the product. As for X, Illon Musk is another believer in freedom of expression as long as she corresponds to his vision of the world. Did we not fall into the promises of snake oil sellers? Let’s hope that more people will follow the example of Stewart Lee.

The hidden cost of artificial intelligence
Your report on the hopes of the Labor Party in artificial intelligence did not mention its huge use of electricity (“The humiliation in front of technology giants is not a way to make Britain a great power in the field of artificial intelligence“Commentary). The government must provide incentives to use electricity economically, as many of them are generated from fossil fuels. Artificial intelligence will not be useful unless its uses are limited to the main goals that provide energy or reduce the disease. Otherwise, with high emissions and exacerbation Climate collapse, food will become rare, and the main houses and infrastructure will be destroyed.

Tatcher, evil representative
She was fascinated by reading how Lawrence Olivier gave acting lessons to Margaret Tischer (““You would feel awe of him”: How did Lawrence Olivier Margaret given to the seduction gave special lessonsNews).
I wonder if Olivier had done to her. Even in the 1970s, when Olivier was studying the Tatcher, his sure acting style “from the outside” was considered an antique when the trend towards a more natural approach similar to Albert Fennie style. With big hair, heavy makeup and big fashion, not to mention the voice of Mrs. Buckingel, the Tatcher, which Olivier had created until then a historical paradox. Perhaps it was not the enmity of many of us so quickly – and it appeared as an ridiculous evil in gesture – if she had a sense of advice to me.

The perfect prose
Another piece was beautifully observed by Barni Ronai (“Arny Slot was rewarded for his patience, while Liverpool maintains his calmness and continues his careerSport, last week): Slot’s image of a “prosperous regional butcher here for a civil prize” and “elegant soccer players and good morals in Brentford and they seem like Danish graphic designers”. It is certain that it is very good that it is limited to the pages Sports.
