This is a fascinating conversation at the intersection of culture, criminology, and recovery.
Dr. David Patton is a criminologist and recovery researcher. Most recently David has been engaged with a Recovery Pathways Research Team coming to grips with the variety of pathways people take on their road to recovery from addiction.

Perhaps democracy is different in the capital?
At yesterday’s event many people expressed the view that while, we might not trust politicians in Westminster, perhaps with devolution and with more power for local politicians, we could begin to restore some trust in the whole system.
This really didn’t land with me, and I don’t think it will work in many towns like mine, where 67% of people voted to leave Europe and where Labour has controlled the Council forever, with no viable opposition. Trust in councillors and council officers is at an all time low.
Isn’t the idea that we should sit back and give our power away to someone else, to act on our behalf, totally out of date?

6 days 2 hours ago@AxiomNews @CormacRussell @DemeMove 😁 Furiously typing up the transcript from the audio because our dialect is too vibrant for technology put into text 😂. Watch this space! I'll send it over once I've tidied it up & my friend is happy for it to be shared. There's some absolutely beautiful content, I think.
