    As somebody who works with young people, this really is a step in the right direction. The last government stripping youth services in the name of austerity has helped destroy a generation. This isn’t a silver bullet, but it’s a start on giving young people who have little prospects at home somewhere safe and somewhere to grow to be different to their parents.

    England raised hundreds of years of children using them as saleable commodities, death-sentenced workers or, more recently, just shoved them off to live without oversight in ‘centers’ of education to starve, freeze and be molested from early childhood. 

    I’m sure this won’t be more of the same. Shirley.

    I guess the underlying issue is going to be whether they actually get used. As an adult I think they’re a great idea, but I also know teenage me would’ve much rather stayed in my room playing my PlayStation and was completely ignorant to how damaging the isolation actually was.

    I know somebody who worked at one for a long time that eventually closed, but he said he wasn’t actually surprised because the numbers were dropping every year.

    Between this, banning porn, talk of banning social media, feels like we’re really trying to force kids to be kids again.

    If only local councils weren’t starved of funding, and could have afforded to keep all the renters and community facilities built by the last Labour lot open, eh?

    This is good, but it’ll only last until the next blue lot come in, then it’ll be cut all over again for “austerity” reasons.

    Unless you live in the middle class Home Counties that is.

  6. I hope they actually follow through. More importantly protected them from being closed by another government.

    The other issue if finding and vetting supporting adult volunteers
