The Scottish Government has decided against implementing a mandatory campervan tax for tourists on the North Coast 500 route, despite concerns over overcrowding and infrastructure strain. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes acknowledged the challenges posed by increased tourism but noted that the Highland Council may still explore voluntary contribution schemes.
Visitor numbers to the Highlands have surged significantly, with campervan usage rising to 36,000 in 2022. While local business groups express concerns about potential tax proposals, some politicians advocate for measures to manage the influx of tourists, emphasizing the need for local communities to benefit from tourism revenue.

Former LAPD detective Moses Castillo criticized Mayor Karen Bass for her delayed response to recent riots in Los Angeles, stating that her late call for law and order was ineffective.

Castillo noted that both political sides are using the situation to attack each other rather than seeking solutions. He expressed concern that the violence against police is reminiscent of the 1992 Rodney King riots, exacerbated by the rapid spread of information through social media.
