I read this and my blood boils - not only because of the disrespect shown to the English people but at the stupid "head in sand - it'll never happen here" attitude of the average Australian" - also known as the "what can I do syndrome?"
Recently I was engaged on another site in an ongoing battle with "defenders of the indefensible" living in Indonesia ( and yes King Willy is alive and doing well).
An Australian contributor for whom I have a high regard also took me to task statiing that he had been living without fear amongst muslims for years?
I wonder how that same person would feel trying to live as an infidel amongst moslems in my old home town of Lakemba Sydney where I went to primary school and played footy from the age of 8 - 15 and where about 2 years ago when I attempted to take some photos in Haldon Street for comparitive shots on a presentation I had in mind I had to run for my life ( washed the spittle of my car later) .
Before anyone gets on the "no right to take pics bandwagon ,I am a mostly retired but still active professional photographer clearly identifying myself with a large straw hat with the band filled with business cards and a very large Canon camera and lens around my neck.
The law says if you are in a public place and I can see you and you can see me and I am not specifically photographing genitalia then I am legally entitled to take pictures.
Moderates ? - my arse!
