out and about
Have not posted for a while - apologies.
So many things have happened - for one the great J.G.Ballard has died. For those who know nothing about him check out The Guardian. I doubt whether he would have been too surprised by the recent 'scandals' taking place at the Palace of Westminster. The thing is we have discovered is that what MP's claim for, hardly excites the imagination, though the Tories win on more interesting items. The upkeep of a Moat made me wonder when the last one was built for a private home and where you would put the postbox.

Health and Safety
Often thought of as killjoys the Health and Safety Executive is now 35 years old. No doubt some of it has been sensible advice. They have a rather fun page called myths of the month which they would like to dispel.Take a look here.

to all those wielding an image making machine
Today,Monday 16th February 2009 is the date for Section 76 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 comes into force.
"The relationship between photographers and police could worsen next
month when new laws are introduced that allow for the arrest - and
imprisonment - of anyone who takes pictures of officers 'likely to be
useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism'."

from the British Journal of Photography (BJP) wrote last month:

By photographers they mean anybody weilding a machine that can take images.
Even the police think it's barmy and uneforceable leading potentially to the arrest of tourists simply taking photos of the changing of the guard.When asked the police could not name a single incident that warranted this law. We should all be aware this is not really going to improve our,the general publics welfare but is in many ways the erosion of civil liberties.A visit to the Stasi Museuem in Berlin would be a timely reminder of the futility and harm these laws can bring to us.
thanks to Nils Jorgensen for bringing this to my attention
