We're all with you MM! I've been told a couple of stories this week of people being stopped filming near various public buildings. Is this an erosion of civil liberties or is it a case of too many people being employed to do too little? The recent explosion of PCO's on our streets to 'protect' us in this terrible terrible war on terror need something to do, and frankly out on the streets there's bugger all to do except hassle innocent people. I'm sure if you were of arabic persuasion, scoping out Whitehall with a camcorder, wearing a large sign calling for jihad and death to all westerners, you would be left well alone as to interfere would be against you're human rights. There does seem a disproportionate amount of these noddies about to tell you to get off the wall, stop filming, stop looking, stop drawing, stop talking, just shut up, go home and watch T.V.,as though we are living under the mujahideen. It reminds me of the scene in Persopolis where the grandmother has to kow tow to the man who used to be her window cleaner. A little uniform goes a long way......
