Crying Car - ahhh


I'm getting pretty pissed off with the amount of emails I'm getting asking me to sign the Anti-Road Tax Petition so here's my stock response:

This petition is for those that think driving is a right, not a luxury. People who complain about paying tax rather than campaigning for their taxes to be spent for the benefit of all annoy me. Yes, the surveillance bit of this legislation bothers me, a lot. But why aren't these car huggers backing and promoting Anti ID Card campaigns with as much fervour? I actually want to see a reduction in cars on our roads, for lots of reasons other than just the excellent green argument.

2 million anti-war protesters on the streets of London get ignored but the car lobby makes the government go weak at the knees! Try campaigning for the bottomless pit of money allocated to the war machine to be put into creating a forward thinking 21st Century affordable public transport system instead, then I'll sign your petition.

- More tax on cars/fuel
- More tax on planes/air fuel
- More taxes to be spent on public transport
- Scrap this obsession with collecting data and monitoring people

Rant over.

Dark and Daring

Dubdog is currently making a new film exploring digital culture and how it is changing our perception of the world around us and what we consider to be reality. This film is a natural progression from a previous post entitled Evolution.
This new film, working title "DigiDigitDigital" will be shown as part of the following exhibition:
DARK AND DARING (part ii)
22 – 25 MARCH 2006
ST MARY-AT-THE-QUAY CHURCH, IPSWICH.

There is an open call for artists wanting to participate in Dark and Daring.

This is Ipswich

Now this is what Ipswich usually looks like.

This isn't Ipswich!


Ipswich has had a bit of a beating recently. Nightclub shootings and a serial killer immediately before Christmas, bird flu up the road in an animal concentration camp and now a body in the boot of a car. Thanks Jarvis, we could have done without you rhyming where we live with Auschwitz.
