Vintage Ben Emlyn-Jones Interview


This interview with Mick Meany of RINF is one of the first I ever gave, it was originally posted on this page in July 2007, see: http://rinf.com/alt-news/multimedia/rinf-podcast-biometric-schools/851/. I gave the interview following a row I'd just had with my daughter's school, because they were trying to take her fingerprints for a biometric database, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/this-is-drawing-done-by-my-12-year-old.html. She was aged 12 at the time and nobody had asked my permission. I have many concerns with the practice of fingerprinting schoolchildren which I explain in the interview and this article: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/this-is-drawing-done-by-my-12-year-old.html. This experience had a huge effect on me and inspired a lot of what I went on to do in the years since with HPANWO.
