Small-minded Bureaucracy

[poliphilo]

Does a local council have the power to stop a child posting pictures of her school dinners on her blog? The one in this story thinks it does.

The blog is politely critical, charming, responsible and constructive. It has an international readership. The girl's school is supportive. Only the Council objects.

There's a certain type of jack-in-office that hates any kind of scrutiny- and never saw an independent initiative it didn't want to squash.

Personally at this point in my life I am happy to bring on the trouble. I want Them taken down, wherever They manifest themselves. They've laughed at us often enough while screwing us and I'm not in a gentle self-indulgent mood any more.

Nobody should be allowed to become too comfortable in the seat of power. It's bad for them and it's bad for us.
