Gratuitous plug for a new blog by people I know (I won’t even mention the appalling use of a .co for something seemingly non-profit when the .org was available… well ok I will but not much), anyway go take a squint at:
Police State UK
The founding writers are intelligent and their writing doesn’t cause me to wish fiery death down on them, so got to be worth a quick look at least.
Enjoy.
Just back from holiday were interactions with local police and PCSO’s gives me some hope that bastions of sanity still exist.
However meantime two campaigns that really need advertising, even though they’re a bit old and I’m sure most people have seen them.
Firstly sign up to the petition for Gordon Brown to go and go now at Number 10
Secondly if you have an old shirt to hand save the government the effort of stealing it from your back and send it direct to Gordon. Then do let the libertarian party now, they’re not organising it but are keeping count as oddly Number 10 claim not to have received any 1984@lpuk.org, see Old Holborn for more details.
An excellent article on Iain Dale’s Journal by Damien Green’s wife:
10 things to do if your home is being searched by the police
this along side NightJacks “Guide for decent people” really are two articles that should be read carefully and learnt from.
Whilst Mrs Greens article is written for the partners of politicians partners, it does seem excellent advice for everyone, though I suspect the bit about photographers won’t apply so much to most of us, and I’d also query point 8:
“8. Recycle redundant electronic goods: Make sure, when upgrading any mobile phone, to dispose of the old handset rather than leave it in a desk drawer and forget about it. That can save the police wasting a huge amount of time packing it up as ‘evidence’ for detailed technical investigation in a neat cardboard box, held in place with plastic ties, when it hasn’t been used for years. The same goes for old laptop computers and old printers.”
Now to my mind I can’t help but think this is actually a good reason to have as many old phone’s computers and hard drives lying around as there may be space for, and really old hard drives make excellent door stops.
