Policy idea: enforced venue closures.
It is mad that being a parent of a teenage girl these days involves telling them to go out and enjoy themselves and also to guard their drink in case a kidnapper-racist slips a toxic substance in there.
From scuzzy pubs to the best clubs in Ibiza (see the TripAdvisor reviews for Pacha).
The emphasis should be on prevention. On the men. Educate sons. Increase convictions. Right now the conviction rate is SICKENING. According to a lawyer I know it is among the lowest conviction rates. Way under one percent of drink spikers end up convicted. This would change if venues had to do more to prevent. Why not close down venues every time it is reported. We wouldn’t want our eighteen year old daughters to go to the house of a known kidnapper-rapist so why should they go to a venue where these people also go? It is fucking insane that we moan about the nightlife economy and fading venues but don’t really have a zero tolerance on this.

I want to write a small little non fiction book at some point about the power of a song. I really love a song when the lyrics are simple but a little mysterious where you have to listen a few times to get them. For me Hey Jude is pretty good. I like Landslide. I like Boys of Summer. Hounds of Love. A lot of Fontaines DC. Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure. Something Changed by Pulp is a fave. Stuck in a Moment is good. Freed from Desire is pretty deep for a dance song. I think As by Stevie Wonder is great and corny and wonderful all at once. And daughter has just played me the song Pure by Sienna Spiro and the lyrics have that Amy Winehouse thing of being good simply through sheer honesty. What do you like?

I am a bit crap. A bit November. A bit filled with grief and existential angst. A bit worried about the fate of the world. A bit depressed about all the sex criminal presidents and performers. A bit fucked off that AI billionaires are devaluing humanity to increase their market share. A bit triggered about news of stockpiling and nuclear weapons.
But I am also writing this in a very privileged position, Andrea working in jewellery designs, with a golden retriever at my feet, and with a son watching a Marvel tv show, after eating a really good tofu curry, aware that although I cried in a park this morning from out of nowhere these fragile feelings will not last.
So, a mixed bag. And feeling the need to hear from strangers or friends about how they are? Good, bad, trivial, serious. How are you?
