As promised 2

The last inQuire seems rather some time ago now.

I looked at it again the other day thought and I was really pleased with the front page especially. I worked really hard to get that story. It was on Canterbury City Council's use of the RIPA.

That, for everyone who doesn't know what RIPA (I was in that situation before I wrote the story!), is the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. And it allows local councils to use covert surveillance to monitor people who they think could be committing crimes. It means councils have used CCTV to watch people fly tipping or other 'minor crimes'.

CCC have used this 23 times in five years.

And also in the final issue of inQuire, I wrote a piece for the features section of inQuire about whether Easter has lost its true meaning!

I was really pleased with this piece, as it gave me a chance to write about Jesus' last days in Jerusalem, and his death and resurrection.

It was hard to write, and certainly made a change from the news writing I usually do, but great to have something in the features section for my portfolio.
