    There are parts of London which are hell to visit because they are overly popular with tourists. An example being borough market at lunch time, it’s all tourists and you can’t move. I don’t begrudge anyone and I can happily just avoid it but it really makes me realise how hard it must be in the much smaller cities with higher ratios.

    My wife went to Venice recently with her mum and said that the service staff were predominantly South Asian, so I wonder how much of that 250k is immigrant population there to service the huge tourism industry.

    It was horrible to watch. You make sensible suggestions in your post, I just think breed bans are the sort of knee jerk reactions that politicians love because it looks decisive and isn’t a difficult decision. Unlikely to achieve anything in the long run, the mastiff in this video isn’t even the breed that is getting banned.

    The issue needs to be investigated, understood and properly addressed.

    I’m not going to get into the dangerous dog breed debate. In my view it isn’t a coincidence that there were lots of warnings about the mass breeding and purchase of puppies during covid leading to a lack of socialisation and neglect, and what we are seeing 2 years on.

    The dog ownership landscape changed during covid, quicker than any regulation could keep up.
