At a little past 6 am this morning, I uploaded my 1000th picture to flickr. Also in the last 24 hours my account registered it’s 5000th view.
This would be where I say thanks, fumble for the microphone and promise to continue working hard to inspire the kids and create more art no matter what, but those of you who know my stream know that no such thing is going to happen.
Still thanks for stopping by every so often 
My flatmate Su directed me to this video this morning.
This afternoon I made some http://jyte.com claims about it, here
and
and twittered about it here
.. petition the Prime Minister to Stop proposed restrictions regarding photography in public places.
People who know me will know that I am not a flag waving, card carrying fanatic who will jump at any opportunity to protest the latest real or perceived injustice being metted out by whosoever is the guy at the helm.
No I leave that to the other me (more on him later).
This doesn’t mean that I don’t harbour passionate feelings about the liberties being threatened. Au contraire mon amie, I do. I just believe more in the abilities of the individual to persuade another than the mob’s ability to do so.
Good Judgement comes into play here too.
Lawmakers know that there are some things that will never be accepted by the people and in attempting to pass such laws they are really testing the public consciousness - a very important barometer for measuring the state of governance.
This is why I ignore a lot of the obviously stupid things the penpushers of Westminster try to impose on us (no offence guys, I will continue to
use Westminster Station for interchange, to frequent your pubs and fine eateries and I expect not to get lynched. OK?)
On the otherhand, an attempt to prevent ME taking pictures in public places borders on stupidity.
No, not “borders”, IT IS downright stupid! STUPID!! (slowly unclenches teeth, releases choker grip on laptop and reaches for hot scalding tea while searching for a target - unaware of the impending danger, David James strolls towards angry otu.)
