ePetition Restrictions - Photography in Public Places
Asked if Downing Street, or the Prime Minister and Mrs. Blair planned on taking any action over the photographs of Mrs. Blair and Leo at the Winter Olympics, the PMOS said he was not aware of any such plans.
Asked why not, and would that not mark a change in policy, the PMOS replied: no, it would not, because we recognised that this photo was taken in a public place.

There are a number of moves promoting the requirement of 'ID' cards to allow photographers to operate in a public place.It is a fundamental right of a UK citizen to use a camera in a public place, indeed there is no right to privacy when in a public place.
These moves have developed from paranoia and only promote suspicion towards genuine people following their hobby or profession.

Much as I love the UK, it is simply sleepwalking into a police state. Wake up, guys! Everyone should take to the streets tomorrow and photograph each other. then email those photos to any MP who is in favor of such a silly law.

I watched a David Icke documentary where he was stopped while legitimately filming near Downiing Street. It's getting out of hand in the UK. Good idea-get out on the streets and start snapping away.

What is psoriasis? What causes psoriasis? Is there a cure or treatment for psoriasis? Psoriasis is a skin condition, it is a disease, but it is not contagious. The name comes from the Greek word for "itch." It can be hereditary, caused by external influences (allergic reaction to foods or the environment) and sometimes stress. 4-5% of the population is known to be affected, and this number is growing. However, it is suspected that 1 in 5 people have some form of psoriasis either descripts or none descript. Once you have psoriasis, it is very likely you will have it for ever. It may go away, and come back. It might respond to various treatments, and it may not. Basically psoriasis is your body over producing skin cells. You have too many skin cells in one location which is why it often swells up, becomes dry and even flaky. It can often be very itchy, red, sore, cracked and very tender. Psoriasis usually affect the scalp, hands, stomach, knees, feet and elbows. It is linked to dandruff and unfortunately to some forms of arthritis.
