A man was detained after taking photos of a police driving a car recklessly across a public park, instead of parking and investigating things on foot, as required. This is just another warning sign of the sneaking change our society is undergoing.

I was once told by a sociologist that U-turn road signs tell you a lot about the society you live in. In some countries you are not allowed to U-turn unless the road sign indicates you are permitted. In others, you are allowed to U-Turn anywhere, unless a sign specifically prohibits it.

England has been considered the second type of society. All was permitted unless specifically disallowed. This, however, is changing rapidly with the draconian implementation of Human Right and Health and Safety regulations seasoned with some anti-terrorism practices. Now it seems that everything you do can be used against you, unless specifically permitted.

Once this trend has put into motion, it’s difficult to U-turn. Is U-Turn allowed here society where YOU want to live?
