Open Source Policing

July 28, 2005

Among other things, the attacks on London have generated hours of CCTV footage
to plough through and a huge public response to the police’s call for help.
What if there were someway of joining these two things together?

If somehow the CCTV footage could be put into the public domain, the police
could harness the public’s desire to help […]

Countryside Alliance

July 27, 2005

So Kate Hoey has become Chairman of the Countryside Alliance . This is
fine, we dont just elect our MP’s to repersent our views, we elect them to make decistions on our behalf.

London Bombs

July 7, 2005

Livingstone has summed it up perfectly. A cowardly attack that
hasnt achived anything and has fucked normal people of every background. This is compared to
the "we will not be defeated, continuing struggle’ hyperbole that Blair
has been issueing forth.
At times like this you need leaders who speak honestly and have some connection with the people they are […]
