Carrying a monopod...with intent.

And as always...England prevails

I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening, while things like Norsefire and the Articles of Allegiance became powerful. I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much.

Two of my favorite quotes from V for Vendetta. I thought that some Americans went overboard with the anti-terrorism stuff, but it seems much worse for you all!

"s76 permits the arrest of anyone found "eliciting, publishing or communicating information" relating to members of the armed forces, intelligence services and police officers, which is "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

Isthe onus on you to prove you weren't or them to prove you were?

This is mainly the thrust of the issue...no-one really knows yet. There's also the argument over what constitutes "useful to a person..."

I get the impression the legislation is deliberately set out in this manner to cause confusion, how hard is it to issue a clear instruction on something as simple as if you can record an image or not.

That is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. Talk about leaving it completely open to interpretation and the whim of whoever the enforcer is. With cameras on every street corner in London, any photo you take is "relating" to those things.

It makes you wonder if the eejits that come up with this rubbish have heard of google earth/maps flickr & the rest.
