LAUNCESTON'S UGLYNESS


Yes, that Freeda-shop in Prince’s Square is/was a bit ugly, but the truly ugly thing is that it is needed and just where it landed first.

The next ugly truth is that Freeda when it got tarted up by Council in Civic Square it got even uglier with its need being bureaucratically sanitised, blanded and downplayed......... The ugliness is compounded when punitive inclined bureaucrats trot out their arsenal of by-laws and when they wear their moral indignation like a halo....... Freeda isn’t really that ugly, or all that unsafe. It’s need shouldn’t just sadden us we all need to wise up big time........ If Freeda-shops were to pop up all over and with all our surveillance cameras, parking inspectors, civic gardeners and others keeping an eye on them and those who need them, all working together, that wouldn’t be ugly....... Freeda-shops’ customers need stuffs because they do not have stuff. Bureaucrats need stuff to punish as they have a vested interest in the chaos in within which they exist.
