Chris Whitty made a good point this morning. About the irony of libertarians like Boris and Truss being so against a ban on something so addictive that it actually takes away freedom and choice in most cases. I'm fairly ambivalent to indifferent about the ban. Not sure why some are getting so het up about it. If the government are looking to save money by improving public health they really ought to look at the disastrous food landscape here. They really should have implemented Henry Dimbleby's National Food Strategy a couple of years ago. What's wrong with cracking down on excessive sugar and crappy "food"? One of the dissenting voices on this vote today was this woman. Does anyone take her seriously anymore? Her interview with Chris Mason yesterday was a bit of an eye opener, even by her standards.

I'd ask your friend if she really wants it levelled. It doesn't need to be and level changes in a garden are generally good, they add interest planting opportunities.It'd be a lot of work to level that for not much gain in my opinion.
