Looking back on Obama's tour of Europe 6:17pm on 07 Apr 2009 "If he is still around..."

I think your last line should have been "Bwuah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa!"
The Battle of Broughton 10:32am on 06 Apr 2009 "they're always shot from the public highway"

No they are not. After 17 complaints Google removed a series of images which were taken by their car which had driven off the public road, into my shared private car park, past a sign saying "Private".

I'm the internet savvy person in the neighbourhood who found these images and worked out how to report them, but my neighbours (elderly, busy mums, hard working fathers) were equally affected and similarly offended against. When I showed them, they were appalled.

Presumed consent unless a complaint is received is so clearly wrong. Many people are not in a position to complain, because they lack access, or because they lack internet skills, and cannot navigate the internet to find and report Street View violations, even those under the lax conditions imposed by the ICO.
We own the banks 08:03am on 13 Oct 2008 End of Thatcherism? All Gordon's fault in the first place? The political squabbling about who is to ultimately blame for this situation will continue on to the next election and beyon, but I doubt very much that a UK Conservative administration would have been able to conceive or implement this scheme, which looks very much like the sanest of the lot globally.

I hope when the banking sector finally recovers we taxpayers are returned sufficient cash to repair the damage which we have yet to fully witness.
Meltdown Monday 08:52am on 15 Sep 2008 Mr Peston: "to tied them over." - You mean, "tide them over".

Your reporting remains a sane window into this unbalanced world.
Can Brits make bucks from blogging? 6:21pm on 21 Aug 2008 Jamie Riddell is absolutely right. At Talking Voices, we make money from pro blogging, we just don't use the models you quote, because they aren't appropriate in the UK. And we all come from blog writing, not journalism college.

I quickly abandoned the Google ads I had on my personal (4.5m visitors in 2007) "little blog" because they detracted from the integrity of the content. Instead, I chose to trade my blog writing skills on the open market - a far more profitable enterprise.
