...take your dictatorial bullshit and shove it. Same goes for the EU - GIVE US A REFERENDUM NOW.
*ahem*
I did have something else to write about, then I remembered this. Curious, isn't it, that there just "happens" to be an earthquake on the exact same day as this European Union directive comes into effect? The victims, of course, have my deepest sympathy, but this attack on privacy - which will be abused, you can count on it with this New Liebour Government - hasn't been mentioned at all on the TV news so far...
There now follows a personal political broadcast...
plutonium Obama Heathrow anthrax White House semtex jihad Belfast Baghdad Saddam Bin Laden Iran Iraq Afghanistan explosive Communist device Air Force One missile Westminster Brown polonium New York see how stupid this whole thing is?
Look for the actual terrorists, rather than peeping over your peoples' shoulders for "clues". You still haven't found Bin Laden, have you? What, you expect to track him down by spying on angsty teenagers on Facebook bleating on about Twilight and The Primark Princess?
Get a grip. Leave the rest of us alone. As far as I am concerned, the real enemy isn't the one sending screwy videos to Al Jazeerah - it's the one keeping tabs on everyone in the name of the "global war on terror". The War on Freedom, more like.
And don't go telling me they're not monitoring content - "connections between individuals", my arse...
