I read that the police are to be given live access to the congestion charge system.

Slowly but surely we are giving away our privacy in the name of national security.  surrender:

No problem. I can rest safe in the knowledge that statistically I am unlikely to be driving through it?  whistle:

In spite of being less than a mile from its boundary I've managed to keep the car out of it at active times, so far. I guessed something might like this would happen once the infrastructure was in place. All the elements are variable - timing, charges, boundaries and finally access to the cameras  ::)

And this on a day when it's being suggested that the organ donor scheme is reversed to 'opt out' rather than 'opt in'.

Whose life is it anyway?  noooo:
