Ecstasy risks 10:35pm on 14 Feb 2009 Well written, well presented, and even-handed. A model piece of journalism. Thank you.
Who's watching you? (1) 08:53am on 10 Feb 2009 I have yet to see the evidence that CCTV 'prevents' crime. Yes, it 'may' make retribution easier, BUT if the resources on CCTV and monitoring were spent on 'policing' not punishing surely less crime would occur in the first place?
It is politically better for government to put surveillance in place than pay for crime prevention. This is a fact as this is what government actually does. If crime 'solving' figures go up, government wins. There are no figures for crime 'prevention' and these cannot be proved, so government does not look as good.
One law for the rich... 09:18am on 10 Dec 2008 There can be few people who would agree with robbery - someone threatens you with violence if you do not give him money. Yet what is taxation? I never voted for tax laws. Yet, if I do not pay, I am violently taken away and incarcerated until such time as I pay or the violent people who took me away decide. How is this different from robbery, the appropriation of my goods with the threat of violence?
From Eastlands to La-la Land 11:56am on 19 Jul 2008 BTW, it's not shakras, it's chakras. And someone at Eastlands needs theirs opened.
