This farce by the lord of darkness might also be seen as some as a ploy to cover up the hopeless infrastructure failure currently known as BT broadband in the UK. The Queen wants all her citizens to have access to the information superhighway, the ministers think the country already has it (thanks to Ofcom) and the peasants are revolting cos they don’t have it. The #3strikes issue takes the governments mind off the plot. The £6 levy also is used as a smokescreen. Clever old mandy. foot in every camp hand in every pocket and a possel of spin. genius.

Also, is it just me, or did that Guardian article drag in Rubert Murdoch, kicking and screaming and lawyering-up, despite not actually having any link between the two…

Antelopes are serious business, Nick. They’re really unicorns (in disguise) upon whose horns all of the eeevil offenders will die twitching. This will save the earth from the frogalypse mentioned above. You shouldn’t mock such things – which is precisely what the government spokesman was saying.

Shouldn’t that be ‘Anteloupes’?

. . . . This insanity is why I’m so glad I live in the United States of Amurrica, where we have the right to roam freely about the Internet, download the writings and utterances of such mavericks and rogues as Ms. Sarah Palin, and then die, a free being, of undiagnosed illnesses left untended due to our glorious freedom from such blights as socialistic, diabolically available universal health care. Long live Freedom! U. S. A.!! U. S. A.!! ..Where the freedom to be batshit insane has long been one of the most cherished tenets of our government.

May Mandelson slither back into the primordial sludge-pit that spawned him and his amphibian colleague Brown.

In other news British Government passes law that says blind people should stay home. The brief press statement summed up the reasons behind new law, “It’s dangerous out there we are doing it for their own good.”
