The #surveillancesociety in the #LuneValley:
My local branch of #Booths (popularly known, but erroneously, as the Waitrose of the North) has introduced a #facialrecognition system into its local branch (and for all I know, all of its branches).
And in a classic bit of 'securitisation' we are told via a sticker on the door, this is for the staff & our safety.
The creeping Orwell-isation of the UK continues;
wonder if they'll be able to link that to my Booth loyalty card & credit card data?

So there's the #climatecrisis & #RishiSunak's scepticism about #netzero, there's questions about #leasehold in the #housingcrisis, there are questions about the absence of #JeremyHunt's plan to encourage #pensions funds to shift #investments into Govt. priority sectors.... but the big news from the King's Speech is that the #Tories will be bringing in legislation to regulate the unlicensed #London pedicabs (cycle rickshaws to you)... yup definitely a priority for us here in the #LuneValley!

Cycling round the #LuneValley yesterday, I was struck by the relative quietness of the roads during a working Monday... sometimes, it seems like our recent travails have had a major impact on road usage (locally at least).
My guess is #workingfromhome, high #petrol prices (forcing more consolidated car journeys - joining together previously seperate journeys) & the general #costoflivingcrises have reduced the amount of time we spend on the road... which may be no bad thing!

A new campaign is aiming to highlight the regional variations in #lifeexpectancy across the UK....
unsurprisingly in the #LuneValley we're expecting long(er) lives.... check out the campaign here:
