I,ve just noticed that all of the Jam Cams, provided by BBC London,
covering my area of east London - the Isle of Dogs and Blackwall
Tunnel (right through to the A2) - have been 'removed due to a TfL
fault'. Most of these cams have been kaputt for years but you would
get the occasional day when you could check the tunnel northern
approach.

Could this be a conspiracy by TfL to prevent drivers from seeing the
horrendous tailbacks and entering the boundary zone of the Congestion
Charging area to use the Rotherhithe Tunnel or Tower Bridge instead?

Rant #2. The BBC have cancelled Star Trek the Next Generation this
evening to show bloody football!!! :-(

Get Sky. Star Trek is wall-to-wall and you'll be sick of it before long.

If it's any consolation, all the jamcams in the Hammersmith area have also
been removed from the BBC site, just at the time when it would be useful to
see the effects of the Hammersmith Flyover closure.

They also get switched off during demonstrations etc. in London. The
page says Transport for London has turned them off for "operational
reasons". Why they can't just put that the truth - that the police
asked for them to be turned off - beats me.

Good grief, are they still making new episodes of STtNG?

Nope.

But a good Trekkie will still enjoy the repeats. Just like a good
movie, there's always something to see that might have been missed
the first time(s) :-)

That doesn't surprise me, but I can't remember the last time there
was any 'civil disobediance' at the Blackwall Tunnel.

It's daft to suggest that these repeats should take priority
over a live event. Those who love STtNG will have already
seen the episode, whereas the rest of us don't want to see it.

I think TNG is the best TV show ever, and I didn't have a television when it
was first shown. But I only have to wait to next week to see it, and I can
manage that. Whereas in Smallville, teenage Clark Kent turned evil at the
end of the series and I have to wait until next year to see if he turns good
again before he becomes an adult.

If the event was *that* important it would have been scheduled.

Most brainless other than the socially maladjusted freaks and
