1. Overall it's a mess. This series of photos show the knock on effect caused by fly tipping that is left to accumulate. The motor bike/scooter secure parking facilities are filled with fly tipped rubbish out front by the recycle Blue Bins. As a result most likely, a motor bike was parked in the "Pen" between two residential buildings this morning. The fly tipping feeds from and contributes to a general disregard of rubbish disposal. The mattress at the corner is still there, and there are bags of rubbish left on the floor outside a flat and next to a rubbish chute. The safety door remains off the 2nd floor rubbish chute raising serious questions as to why this is being allowed to occur. Finally, the inline skate jumping take-off board is still there on the security "cage" by the narrow entrance to the Estate.

There is little doubt that the surveillance technology in the hands of those with an antisocial and criminal character disposition has created this environment as it exists today rather than allow it to develop with acceptable safety and health standards. There is a definite double standard at work with regard to those using the surveillance technology which condones, supports and sustains antisocial behaviour. I am attacked continuously when I address these problems as I am doing here. Considering the fact that fly tipping is an offence, those who are trying to interfere with and stop this documentation and reporting of it are committing an offence themselves by such action.

"It is an offence, punishable by imprisonment of up to three months, to "fly tip" material on the highway." "Instances of anti-social activity, like placing rubbish out on the highway outside the stipulated collections times or in an untidy or irresponsible fashion, could be subject to enforcement action. People found putting rubbish out at any time other than immediately before their collection is due could be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice which at the current time carries a charge of £50.00. Other offences could mean prosecution."

	There is another box (red border) on this fly tipped rubbish by the recycle Blue Bins which has been accumulating at least since Sunday morning. This photo is from the flat window view.
	The same fly tipped rubbish by the recycle Blue Bins from an up close full view. This accumulation includes all kinds of rubbish along the top of the recycle Blue Bins and blocking the motor bike parking facilities. There is one motor bike/scooter parked here on the left (not shown).
	A motor bike parked on the Estate in the "Pen" area between the entrance to two residential buildings. As can be seen in the above photo, the parking area for these vehicles is taken up with fly tipped rubbish. In order to get to and from this parking point, these vehicles must travel up and down the front foot path after entering/exiting the Estate at the narrow Whitchurch Road entrance. They have to jump the kerb, cross the pavement if going out onto Bramley Road and drive around a sharp, somewhat blind corner of the building. This is often done at speed with a disregard for pedestrians. This is especially dangerous during the rain and at night. I have heard what I believe to be this motor bike travelling up and down the front footpath under my window almost daily recently. It is parked here in such a way as to make it difficult to get its licence number which faces the wall behind it. I've always thought that motor bikes/scooters should have licence plates on the front as well as the back for identification purposes.
	The mattress from last week is still at the corner of Whitchurch and Bramley Roads leaning once again against the school fence. It's been here throughout the storms during the Bank Holiday weekend and in today's rain. The Council is painting the bollards one of which is to the right of mattress with the protection around it to keep people from touching the wet paint. This was being done last week. I wonder why the Council does not have its people (parking wardens, street maintenance personnel) notify some special number about these problems if and when they encounter them.
	Here's a rubbish bag outside a flat door this morning. The example set by the fly tipping outside carries over as a general disregard for fundamental safety and health standards which in this instance are part of the tenancy agreement.

	Failure to put rubbish down the rubbish chutes is a persistent problem. Although there is only one small black bag on the floor here, it is the start of what goes on day and night requiring the cleaners to periodically put these down the chutes. I believe it derives from an overall neglect with respect to fly tipping outside by the recycle Blue Bins including the 50+ Orange Bags left there over Saturday night and placing rubbish outside flat doors.
	The safety door remains off the 2nd floor rubbish chute and is nowhere to be seen as was noted last week at about this time. Has the safety door been left off intentionally to facilitate putting large bags down this chute? There has been a long argument about increasing the size of these rubbish chutes for this purpose. The counter argument is that this would be too large even with safety doors and constitute a safety hazard for children especially small children. The fact that this has been left like this for nearly six months now puts paid to this counter argument against increasing the size of these rubbish chutes to facilitate the large bags from those with large families.
	When I took this photograph, I did not know there was a pedestrian walking below. It was also raining, and I had to cover the camera with a paper towel as I held it out the window. I have to look at the photo afterwards to see what has been photographed. The fact that there is a pedestrian there is a reminder of the hazard that this board presents by being there in the event of high winds.

2. Tony Blair despises cynicism above all else in his decade of power as Prime Minister as he attacks the media critics about his "vanity" junket during his last seven weeks in office. Let me tall you what cynicism really is, and why Tony Blair is the biggest cynic of all.

It takes the worst kind of cynic to despise himself and others so completely that while supporting "humanitarian" issues abroad, he carries out the most devastating repression and abuse of power ever known to humanity in London for almost an entire decade. It takes the world's worst cynic to do this secretly refusing to stop it while pretending to carry on in a most humanitarian manner on behalf of others when that pretense is used to cover his own greed, glory and power cravings which run amok.

Tony Blair has allowed the most unspeakable atrocities against humanity to be carried out in London involving the R&D for the most sophisticated surveillance technology ever known that surpasses anything George Orwell might have imagined. He has allowed lethal torture and medical experimentation related to these to be carried out against a nonconsenting human guinea pig for eight and three quarter years 24/7 since August 1998. This has been used to carry out social engineering and control activity to repress the reporting of serious problems in order to cover them up and pretend they do not exist.

As a result he has corrupted government to its core creating an apathy that has resulted in the failure of government to function because those in government have lapsed into a malaise of rejection against such atrocious inhumanity. He has created state terror of such a degree that it fuels the extremist to kill innocents by suicide bombs. He has shown by this government's actions against the innocent on an indefinite basis for all these years the utter hopelessness in being able to properly redress grievances so that those at the extreme elect to commit suicide while killing the innocent. This is the very same act which this government carries out officially.

I do not share this violent disposition that the young will have who do not have my background, education, experience and ability to address these problems appropriately as I am describing here. Instead, those who are aware of this activity as a result of Lt Harry Bird's, BS and other's showing off this surveillance technology to all and sundry ensuring that knowledge of this atrocious behaviour spreads throughout the country, will act in a manner that is consistent with their own background. In the extreme instances this will result in terrorism imitating the terrorism this government is carrying out.

This is why it is so important to maintain those humanitarian values and standards in reality which are only mouthed with words by Tony Blair. When this does not occur as it has not in the instance of Tony Blair's premiership, cynicism is in order and warranted. Tony Blair hates it because it is the appropriate response to his own truth which he tries to hide. He exhibits his extreme resistance to the truth by engaging in further repression which we have seen in the last few days emerging as proposed legislation.

These are Draconian measures which destroy human life such as abolishing the Human Rights Act to imprison suspects who might very well be innocent without proper legal procedures and standards being maintained and observed to protect the individual against abuse from the state. In another instance there is a proposal to lock people out of their homes for twelve weeks. These are measures which admit of failure during the past decade which I have been describing for years. The seventh century BC Athenian legislator Draco was a despot who wanted death as the punishment for each offence. He said that he regretted he could only kill a man once. I have been subjected directly to Draconian repression for almost a decade by the use of surveillance technology.

Tony Blair is trying to hide his truth and leave a legacy of repression (see Erich Fromm's comments below) to cover up his crimes against humanity which he has allowed to continue for many, many years in London. At the same time he presents himself to the world as a humanitarian. While Iraq is the visible tragedy of this false pretense, his real legacy is still a secret which will emerge as a horror to the world at large in due course.

Blair attacks Africa trip critics

Mr Blair was made an honourary paramount chief on his trip

Prime Minister Tony Blair has attacked UK critics of his week-long trip to Africa, after receiving a warm welcome on his arrival in Sierra Leone.

Mr Blair's trip, just before he steps down as PM, has been dubbed a "vanity tour" by some UK newspapers.

But Mr Blair said: "The one thing I have come to despise more than anything else in my 10 years is cynicism".

He said there had been real progress in Sierra Leone where he sent peacekeeping troops during his first term of office.

The move made him a popular figure in the West African state, as it proved decisive in preventing rebels from taking over.

3. As Gilbert Murray describes in his Five Stages of Greek Religion, Diogenes was the most famous of the Cynics in 4th century BC Athens. He writes about Diogenes "Let man put aside these delusions [the superficial trappings of society and life] and know himself. And for his defences let him arm himself "against Fortune with courage, against Convention with Nature, against passion with Reason." For Reason is "the god within us." (Gilbert Murray, The Five Stages of Greek Religion, Doubleday Anchor Book, Garden City, New York, 1951, p 87.)

"The life that he personally meant to live, and which he recommended to the wise, was what he called . . . "a dog's life," and he himself wished to be "cynic" or "canine." (ibid., p 88.)

"People told how the Cynic walked about with a lamp in the daytime searching, so he said, "For a man." (ibid., p 89.)

4. Erich Fromm deals extraordinarily lucidly with the problem of resistance under a subheading of "Aggression and Resistance" in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (Holt, Rinehart Winston, New York, 1973.)

"In psychoanalytic therapy one can observe with great regularity that resistance is being built up when repressed material is touched. But we are by no means restricted to the psychoanalytic situation in order to observe this phenomenon. Examples from daily life abound. Who has not seen the mother who reacts with fury when someone tells her that she wants to keep her children close to her because she wants to possess and control them -- and not because she loves them so much? Or the father who is told that his concerns for his daughter's virginity is motivated by his own sexual interest in her? Or a certain type of patriot who is reminded of the profit interest behind his political convictions? [emphasis added] Or a certain type of revolutionary who is reminded of the personal destructive impulses behind his ideology? In fact, questioning another's motive violates one of the most respected taboos of courtesy -- and a very necessary one, inasmuch as courtesy has the function of minimizing the arousal of aggression." (ibid., p 233.)

". . . The reason [why truth sayers are so hated] lies, I believe, in that by speaking the truth they mobilize the resistance of those who repress it. To the latter, the truth is dangerous not only because it threatens their power but because it shakes their whole conscious system of orientation, deprives them of their rationalizations, and might even force them to act differently." (ibid., p 233.)
