TC did you film this? Random filming outside is very dangerous in this day and age. (see link)

I've only had one police visit in the last six months, they came round to ask me why I was filming in Ashton Town Centre.

you know how paranoid people are about having their children filmed, yet you went ahead and did it, I suspect this was to get a reaction from the police officers who were nearby.

No not true, no one complained other people were filming. So get your facts right.

From what I understand of it, Mr West is making a video journal for historical purposes of life in and around Tameside in the current era. We are living through times of immense change and I for one am pleased that someone is taking the time to film everyday and often mundane scenes. In the future, these types of short films will become a historical record of life in Tameside in 2012.

As for children appearing in the video; I really don’t see it as an issue. I don’t feel that parents are unduly perturbed about their children being randomly filmed as part of an overall scene, after all, we are the most watched nation on earth. Every time we leave our homes we are filmed on countless numbers of CCTV surveillance cameras. I think a lot of the hype about school nativity plays banning photographs or filming is due to the curse of Political Correctness rather than a desire to have the filming banned by the parents.

I think Roy West is performing a valuable service for generations of the future. I for one absolutely loved archive footage in The Lost World of Mitchell and Kenyon. If they were prevented from carrying out their work by over officious individuals, we would know a lot less about day to day life in Northern mill towns in the Victorian era.

Filmed records of the present day may look incredibly odd in 50 years as, if things continue on their current course, Britain will look VERY different in a few years as the alien colonies' populations grow exponentially.
This could be, to paraphrase Churchill, 'The end of the beginning.' Then, we won, now, it's massively more uncertain.

If TMBC are repairing it it must have been in a shocking state of repair. Check out the appalling state of thousands of road sign poles in the borough for chronic corrosion. I know one that collapsed and another that would have if I hadn't reported it, within 50 yards of my house. It must take decades for one to rust through and they STILL can't deal with it.

You are totally correct TC, I stand corrected and withdraw me last comment

Pornography’s Effect on the Brain, Part 1 said...

The chemicals released in our brain during orgasm are similar to dopamine or other drugs which on the long run may damage the frontal lobe. Not to mention the fact that compulsive masturbation has other side effects on the psyche and on personal behaviour, like constant frustration, anger, uncontrolled ludeness and depression. Pornography poisons a person's soul and alters the natural sensibility towards your peers, especially when it comes to ethical issues, ultimately destroying your identity. Advise: AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS, only view it with your partner in case you want to have some fun.

The spread of internet pornography is destroying and warping the character, decency and personalities of millions upon millions. Children in particular are being corrupted on an unprecedented depth and scale. Deviants and paedophiles are actively being created by these vile and bass displays of behaviour that, even when normal, should be private.
No doubt some would say, take it easy, it's down to indiviual choice, it makes you feel good etc. That's exactly what Satan wants, he's the best there's ever been at killing people from the inside out, and not only do they not know it, he makes them think that's what they want. Consequently, through worship and ongoing intensification of their pursuit, and in the end chemical need, for instant and base gratification, they play an active and ultimately willing part in the destruction and corruption of their essence and potential to improve and understand higher and actually significant things. Everyone pro-pornography works for evil, and knows it.

That's a bit melodramatic but essentially on the point.

The stuff that comes out of America is downright bizarre.

I have no problem with pornography itself (the alternatives being getting more powerful binoculars, or a life) But much of it is deliberately trying to subvert the sacred act of sex and procreation into some culturally Marxist statement. So much has been said by many of it's creepiest purveyors. You should also note the ethnicity of many of the people behind it.

Actual pornography, devoid of all the weirdness is no bad thing. The European stuff is fairly devoid of the Jewish weirdness attached to the stuff coming from America (much of it being amateur) or so I've heard anyway. I've never watched any of it, ever, honest.

Satan is amongst us said...

Take it lightly, it doesn't matter that much.
Such sentiments are the sweetest music to the ears of the Prince of Depravity and Vileness.

I've heard of him, he's supposed to be some cartoon amalgamation of our ancestral gods. In many ways he is similar to pornography itself, taking something natural, great and positive and turning it into something unrecognisable.
Hence a horned fertility god becomes a depraved god of perversity, a god of war becomes a god of anger. It's typical of Jewish intellectual behaviour, they take everything pure and holy and turn it into something twisted, materialistic and perverse.
Satan is a bugbear, made to scare us, the true danger is in Hebrew ideologies and religions that make us despise our own form and feelings.
