Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Labour Manifesto
I've finally got my hands on the Labour Party's borough manifesto a week after its launch on Duckett's Common. Thanks to Cllr. Matt Cooke for Tweeting me through the link.
And quite a hefty document it is too; 40 pages long. Thankfully it's not too text heavy and there are some wonderful pictures.
The festival features in several photos including on page 9 a face that will, I think, be familiar to some. There was another note of recognition from me when I got to page 14 when I saw one my own pictures from Wikipedia (which, I hasten to point out, is copyright-free). Appreciate the compliment Labour, (but perhaps a nod of acknowledgement next time? :o):

And there was I back in September thinking I was too cynical in seeing the Festival as the opening salvo of the 2010 campaign.
Nice to see the Dear Leader/Strong Leader superimposed on every scene.
How many ways can we say we've frozen your Council Tax for the election? (Hackney's done it for 5 years)
More affordable homes in the west of the Borough (p.33) - great for any refugee MPs or councillors.
Ah, but they'll give us a better bus service, credit union and allotments. Let's see.

Couldn't the Leaderene find the time to go to Bruce Castle for the first pic ? That's a crappy bit of insert. What does it say ? " Under Labour, All Smoke and Mirrors " ?

Yes, I've got a bit of a bone to pick with them here - p20-21 and 32-33 are mine, and do have licensing terms. There's at least one more in there I know belongs to someone who would want asking first.

Hugh, if you have been alerted to copyright infringement in online material that you are hosting, under the terms of the Digital Economy Act are you not obliged to take it down ASAP?
Just sayin'.

Would the terms of DEACT include linking to material that infringes copyright, John?
Nico, I would invoice the Haringey Labour group for your photos for the sums that you would normally charge for commercial use of your material. Am I right in thinking that the Conservative party (also supporters of Deact) also used one of your images? This appears to be the standard procedure when photographers find their material used. You may wish to write a letter of complaint to David Lammy, as he is a strong proponent of this law.
Amusing isn't it, that the Party so keen on protecting intellectual property seem to think Flickr means free pictures. Also creative commons may mean can be used for non-commercial use but it is more than a matter of courtesy to contact the photographer and get permission for political publications (imagine how you would have felt seeing your photo on a BNP leaflet, Hugh)
There was an interesting article in the Telegraph blogs about just this issue and how widespread it is (and includes some good excuses, as proffered by the political parties if you are caught with illegal material)

HoL isn't hosting this, John. It's hosted on Haringey Labour's site (Most of the rest of which still appears to be awaiting launch).
-
-
In the spirit of the law and considering how careful HoL is about what it allows to be published I really think you should at least delete the link. Pirate Bay did not host their own material either.
I hope you appreciate my candour and front room 'dealing' in this sensitive matter.

Well, it's not going to make it go away John and I'd think the greater interest is served by making the manifesto available to people and keeping this photograph issue in its proper perspective.
Nico, if you want to pursue your issue and need any contacts and don't have them to hand, let me know.

That's going to go down well with the judge.

See excuse number 1 from the Labour Party over the 'Gene Hunt' posters and adapt accordingly when we are up before the judge:
We only linked to that manifesto for a set period and that period has now passed.”

I'm curious as to why they didn't just use Alan Stanton's flickr photos. He's not only a member of the Labour party he's a standing councillor in the borough.
-

It's strange that they didn't. For every picture that Alan takes of dumped rubbish or bad parking he tries to balance with sunsets over Tottenham Hale or blossom on local streets. He has a lovely parks set here.
