I’m late to this and many (better) others have made this same point but …
Either this is the usual legislative process so nothing to see here
OR
This is a new subordinate legislative process with ltd parliamentary oversight and questionable legitimacy so a shed load to see here

An ongoing diary of stuff, allsorts, and things wot happen ……

I am a photographer with a special interest to document the lives of travelling people and those attending Festivals, Stonehenge etc, what the press often describe as ‘New Age Travellers’ and many social concerns.

With my photography, I have tried to say something of the wide variety of people engaged in ‘Alternatives’, and youths’ many sub-cultures and to present a more positive view.

I have photographed many free and commercial events and have, in recent years, extended my work to include dance parties (’rave culture’), gay-rights events, environmental direct actions, and protest against the Criminal Justice Act and more recently, issues surrounding the Global Capitalism.

Further, police surveillance has recently become a very important subject for me!

In recognition of this work, received a ‘Winston’ from Privacy International, at the 1998 ‘Big Brother’ Awards. The citation reads: “Alan Lodge is a photographer who has spent more than a decade raising awareness of front-line police surveillance activities, particularly the endemic practice of photographing demonstrators and activists”.

I am based in Nottingham, UK.

Harry Lime [Orsen Wells] The Third Man 1949

Frank Zappa
