And I and its role in our society today who should replace George Hamilton when he steps down the Chief Constable and the chimp fame president Mary Lou McDonald taking a bit of flack today for intervening in that question and suggesting that someone from outside the P.S. And I might be better placed to change the culture within it she's been talking about the culture of the P.S.N. I do think politicians should be intervening in these questions about police appointments an independent policing service or does she have a point if there is a culture that needs to be changed and could someone from outside be better placed to make those changes will also be talking about the fast fashion problems you know about AIDS have you heard of a fast fashion problem no wrong it means you're buying too many clothes and not recycling them not restrict too many clothes more clothes than you need yeah I think we're all guilty. Of an over thing not a Westminster group of them piece think they have a possible solution they want a new one percent tax on every item every item of clothing that might not change in our behavior. And it might also pay for recycling but isn't the nanny state trying to invade your wardrobe and then after one today Honda just the latest yank white long list now companies announcing in the past year or so that they're closing or relocating outside of the U.K. Is not just a coincidence or could it be part of the explanation for that long and lengthening lest.
