I agree with your views. My son has been living under the fear of getting an ASBO or even eviction by the council. He is a severe epileptic who suffers mental health problems after seizures which he has up to 4 times a month. His behaviour can become difficult after seizures. He is ILL and this does not seem to be understood by our police. I do hope that if something else is put in place that some more consideration would be given to someone who is ILL.

How these two seemingly opposites – individual civil liberty and group well-being – are to be reconciled should be central to what a future Labour government should be about. Shamefully and sadly there has been much about fairness (whatever that means) and similar vacuous nonsense from the 5 candidates but I’ve not seen any serious attempt by their respective campaigns to engage with this question in practical policy terms.
