I come from a land downunder.
When I read the above headline in an Australian newspaper, I immediately thought this place (Australia), is just going insane? Well is happen'd in England, but fear not, we are rapidly going down the same road Down Under. Cheers, Haz.

You know, there are some aboriginal tribes here in Australia who wont allow anyone to photograph them? They say the photographer, by having the photo has their spirit! Cheers, haz.

Same is largely true in Jamaica. Less so in Haiti and throughout nearby islands.

"Centre and police have both apologised to dad."

So this is no longer an issue?
