Thank you Kizzy...that short sentence says it all.
Right now I've got bigger things to worry about and so I'm going to leave the robots to it and back out of this site for a while.

My personal opinion is that measures should be put in place to catch dangerous criminals and terrorists, but anything beyond that I am very strongly against. Innocent people should not be spied on.

It does yes, we do and say very little and the govt are legislating away piece by piece many civil liberties it took past generations their lives to get.

There's a media blackout on any demonstration, then they focus on one act of civil disobedience to create a public backlash.

Thing is, people complain about the government snooping on them and then go and post intimate details of their day on facebook, twitter and the like which are all available to the public. People complain when youths run amok on trains beating up old ladies and yet complain when video cameras are installed in train carriages to prevent it. I don't give a damn about appearing on a video camera compared to the benefits that it provides us.

And that, I reckon, is how the majority of British citizens feel. I know I do.

By the same token the majority of people would be happy whoever unveils pedophilia.
