Re: Britain's new anti-terror law could stop media from taking pictures of police

Yah, someone's stolen my country, and I want it back!

  The incident about the bridge that was being photographed, my wife
reminds me, did turn out to be a suspicious event.  The two fellows
taking the pictures did turn out to be part of some "terrorist" org of
some sort, and was driving around to all the wal-marts and such buying
up all the cheap mobile  Trac-phones with the free 60 minute talk time
to send overseas to known "bad guys"....   At least that's what the
propiganda rags said... Oh, um, I meant the honest and unbiased
Newspapers....

I told someone on the list that you are on way to totalitarian state.

This is similar to the way it was here before revolution. Communists 
banned taking pictures of "military objects", such as railway stations, 
aiports, bridges, ... I laughed when united states came up with the war 
on terrorism. It remembered me of fighting with internal enemy in the 
days of communism. Internal enemy was someone considered hostile to the 
regime, but was mostly constructed by propaganda. Similar propaganda to 
the one you have against terrorists.

The label "beware! the enemy is listening" on military phones and 
transmitters from that days just popped in my mind... :-)
