    I know whats going on here -

    See no evil, (no photos)
    hear no evil, (no playlists for bands = no music)
    speak no evil. (yet to come - banning internet forums?)

    The people in charge obviously using national paranoia to turn the populous into those cool wooden monkey things...

    Mmmmm, i love coming up with conspiracy theories.

    Manufactured by the press, seized on by the authorities. So I could by writing my diary now and put a few evil thoughts to paper and they got you. The original post is right forget about photographers being persecuted and be very careful what you think about

    Yah I'd be more curious of those people sneaking a look over other peoples shoulders to see what they are reading, writing.
    Oh and I wonder when every train and bus will be a no talking zone (quiet zone)

    Obviously, you haven't taken a night bus on a Friday night for quite some time.

    About a month ago on the tube a yout' told me that if I didn't "pipe down" he was going to have to "cut me up".

    There's never an officious barsteward there when you need one is there?

    I searched the govenment sentenceing guidelines website to see how many years you'd get for defending yourself after such a verbal threat:



    "112 hits" for provoked assault is deliciously ironic, don't you think?

    I came to the conclusion that you'd get a maximum of 7 years for 'aggrivated assault' which is our countires way of saying provoked.

    I cam to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth doing anything as I was with a female colleague who was very shaken by the experience. It's about the fourth or fifth unprovoked run in I've had on the tube so I'm getting quite used to it.
