Council Spying Law

See? I really am not paranoid, after all ...

Councils Spying On Litter Louts, Incontinent Dogs

"The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right thing for the wrong reason." - T S Eliot

Yes, they are that petty. Yes, they are that fearful.

Yes, they do have something better to do - but since it's their own doing it, like electoral fraud and corruption, their hands are tied.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of the people.

Sunday Lunch

I cooked my own Sunday lunch today - my folks being away at some fancy party that wasn't a wake. For my folks, that makes a great change.

For my meal, I had sliced lamb, served on a bed of watercress, rocket and spinach with butter beans and chick peas, and the last of the salsa.

Yum.

Currently hard at it on my story, after a major rewrite and brutal slaying of one of my chapters and excision of major chunks of dead writing on several others.

Headcases

Just saw part of an episode of this TV comedy.

WTF's that all about, then? I can't remember anything quite so sorry on the telly in my life.

Story Progress

No looking back. No apologies.

If there's one thing I've learned from my former places of work, it's that.

That, and how to call bingo numbers.

No Jargon

My cardinal rule of writing. A mouthful of technobabble just won't substitute for simple words, simply explained, and clearly drawn deeds and actions.
