Somewhat unrelated, but I know someone who got put into council housing with exposed asbestos and the council does not give a fuck.

Depends what is meant by exposed. Most asbestos has for long while only required removal is damaged. Their is a huge amount in my council house. We were well warmned what not to damage.
And given we are in the south east. The home would not exist if the council was forced to remove it. The cost is just to high.
What will I use to make my fleshlight now? 😩
Traditional sandpaper?
