hey lookit, you guys, i wrote a blog on the subject of the stop and search policy, given its timeliness as the european courts declare it to be unlawful:
this on my new* photography blog, where i will be writing occasionally on topics of amateur photography, being a photographer in london, and some of the wonderful and wonderfully ugly places that i encounter. do subscribe, won't you?

I am currently working on a simpler way of adding comments to this page (and a far less time consuming one for those without a Yahoo login), but for now, use flickr.
you were too quick! i've now posted the caption and link to the story. this was a couple of years ago (but the comments in the blog post still apply -- the revised policy is still absurd).
Nice article Joe.
Incidentally, I know Cleveland Street well. I used to go to Middlesex House quite regularly, which is a lovely (1934) Art Deco building just opposite the junction with Riding House Street.
:-)
Thanks, y'al.
@Homemade: oh dear :(. people still use websense?
@Mike-DT6: what a coincidence -- my company were based in Middlesex House until a year ago. It is indeed a nice building -- at least, on the outside.

Yes, forgot to say that. Well written, starts funny but cuts to the point precisely.
