What is the point in arguing against a scheme that is working

people of Holland? Or are you in favour of further dumbing down?

Look upon this as a first step in despatching Nanny back to the

I haven't quite worked out whether this scheme will also involve
removing the street lights - and if it does, is that not an invitation
to pickpockets, muggers, etc? In which case, pedestrians will
probably avoid the street after dark, thus removing a great deal of
the problem
at one swell foop!

My impression is that it is not total mushroom (street) management.
