That is insane. Can you imagine tourists getting arrested for taking pictures of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, or the London Eye? Bad enough the cops in Connecticut will confiscate pictures taken of them while on duty, but to forbid public photography? Pure oxymoron. The key word is public fer chrissake!

Some weird stuff on that epetition site for 10 Downing, by the way. I especially liked this onepetitions.pm.gov.uk/OtterClubbing/

What, is that like the road tax petition that they put out? The when everyone said 'NO!' they decided what we actually meant was 'Yes please', explained to us why we're all wrong and stupid and are going ahead with whatever they had planned to begin with anyway? Is it like that? Is it? That's democracy in action that is.

oooh please do sign this one though. for my sake. petitions.pm.gov.uk/childtaxcredit/

I sure wish I was allowed to sign some of these, but although I am the son of a former British subject and Ward of the Queen (Canadian Indians were only given Canadian citizenship in 1960), I am not considered a British citizen. But I believe my father can apply for and receive a UK passport, if he so chooses.

I almost got arrested in cuba for taking a picture of a T-72 tank being moved on a flatbed truck. Good thing I was wearing my best tourist " flamingo "shirt . Must have scrared them away ..
