I think those issues are also magnified by countries wishing to 'develop'....and by continuation the needs and wants of their population increasing.
Not just 3rd would becoming developed world theres been an increased "consumerisation" driven by ease of online and digital marketing and payments. Every time Sharon impulse-buys a new pair of straighteners on klarna thats keeping the factories pumping smoke out in China....
 
I'm quite proud of what parliament has achieved this week with assisted dying and decriminalising abortion. Maybe for the first time since gay marriage in 2013, it feels like a tangible marker of social progress.

A good sign perhaps that this new generation of 2024 intake MPs are an improvement on their predecessors.

That’s a sweeping generalisation. So people who don’t agree with a bill for various reasons on what is a complex piece of legislation and has various issues raised around the implications of how it’s delivered and safeguarded simply don’t understand it .
