Letters: Well said, old mole

The Guardian (Free subscription) | 21/11/2009

Marcel Berlins (16 November) is right that police cautions should not be used for serious offences. The Law Society continues to be very concerned about this deliberate practice by the Ministry of Justice. But if there is to be a change in approach, then the current policy of refusing to increase the legal aid budget cannot continue. It will become intolerable if more crimes are brought to court without...

Imagine checking in for a 12-hour, 6,000-mile flight, yet not needing to show a passport because it's a domestic journey. No, this is not a trip across all 11 time zones of Russia: it is a flight chartered from Qantas by a firm in Sydney with the suburban-sounding name of Croydon Travel (00 61 3 9725 8555). The passengers are looking forward to a trip on the world's biggest passenger aircraft, an...

Now DJ sets aside, dubstep duos and crews are a dime-a-dozen these days when it comes to the music they produce. However, I'm making a big exception when it comes to these guys, as they are staking a claim to the Hyperdub purist in what soulful dub should really sound like. Flatline were a DJ duo consisting of George Walker and who have were previously in bands at school but were lured into the world...

Montreal Dubstep ambassador Komodo knows how to have a good time. The promoter and host of the city’s best bass music night, Komodo Dubs, is an infectious whirlwind of energy behind the decks–bouncing, swaying and generally acting like a one man cheerleader for Croydon’s musical offspring in the land of plaid shirts and bad indie [...]

Town halls are installing cameras inside suburban homes to spy on the neighbourhood. The Big Brother tactic - which is allowed under the anti-terrorist Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act - is being used by Croydon council in South London to catch those suspected of 'anti-social behaviour'. The CCTV cameras are placed inside the house of a willing resident, but trained on the street. If deemed successful,...

Secret CCTV cameras INSIDE people’s homes – a step too far?

Controlware Blog (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

Croydon council in south London has taken the step of trialing CCTV surveillance in people home’s to monitor anti-social behaviour. The £1,000 security cameras have been installed inside private properties but are monitoring the streets to gather evidence of anti-social behaviour. This type of CCTV would be less expensive than erecting external street cameras because internal cameras [...]...

Transpontine (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

When the East London Line extension finally does open next year it will make a big difference not just to how people move around London but perhaps to how they perceive the city. By directly linking Croydon and Hackney (or at least Dalston) via Brockley and New Cross it could generate a sense of East London that crosses the river. Today when people talk about East London they generally mean the Eastern...

Michael Atkinson sends challenge to gamers

My Take (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009

Link Reddit goes a long way. In a letter to a member of the public, he challenged his critics to stand against him in the state seat of Croydon. [...] A copy of the letter, dated last week, was posted on a popular website and confirmed by Mr Atkinson's office as accurate. If you want, you can read my very considered rant on the issue. -----------
