I love this panel in one of the playparks in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. I'm not too sure if it's purely decorative or if it's an ornate manhole cover. As far as I can work out, it's a scene from Don Quixote, but that's just my best guess.

Children nowadays are shunned by society. There arent as many playparks in chain fastfoods. Arcades are incredibly rare. They remove all public benches. The pigs hunt them down for "loitering". They are so swamped in schoolwork they dont have time for themselves. Social media rules their life.

This morning, as I continue my exploration of #Ibusuki, I saw giant towers and kiddies' playparks.
This afternoon though, was quite unsettling- I couldn't get my head around a building with half its roof missing for some reason.

And of course nobody except the scaremongering right wing press is suggesting crack be sold in corner shops and smoked in playparks, even if its use were decriminalised and the gateway powder cocaine and heroin sales taken away from the criminal gangs by legalisation and regulation of supply

Where I lived in the 70s we had 4 pubs, 5 grocers shops, 2 chemists, 2 post offices, a GP surgery, 2 children's playparks, a cinema and 2 primary schools all within a 15 minute walk of home.
And a few chippys.

I am 100% convinced that a metric of "how easy is it to walk or bike to a playpark" is the only metric we actually need.
If kids can get to playparks easily and safely then it's highly likely that everyone else can get everywhere.

Which on the back of an envelope means the two figures are roughly equal, so there's as many crack dens as playparks in Starmer's Britain because Labour refuse to properly regulate drugs
