New technology - new threats - old rubbish

Posted by Visiter Newsdesk on February 20, 2007 7:19 PM | 

New technologies inevitably mean new ways for criminals to thrive.
But this week, Southport's MP has returned from a Stateside trip where he has been at the forefront of a new transatlantic team to combat what is being referred to as 'e-crime'.
And as reported in this week's Midweek Visiter Dr Pugh has first hand knowledge of the dangers and threats which the internet can bring.
But none of us can stand still and the debate rumbles on about the proposed new rubbish collection system, which will usher in the introduction of wheelie bins and the dreaded fortnightly collections.
Sefton's very own 'Green Warrior', Cllr David Tattersall, this week faced Southport's pensioners who expressed their concerns about the new system. A small number of the pensioners were themselves green with anger at the changes.
We are moving with the times - Cllr Tattersall assures us. The new regime will mean we recycle more. It will create a cleaner, greener, leaner Sefton. And he and his council colleagues hope it will help avoid a huge government landfill fine.
But is the new system going to save the world - or is it a load of rubbish? Only time will tell.
