Internet Outlaws

You mean as with the age of consent? Or the prohibition of child pornography?
Not that I do not support such purely arbirtrary state imposed limitations on the civil liberties of children etc. Just thought I'd be a Libertarian for a couple of seconds. Now I'm off to wash myself thoroughly. Lol!

No wonder the government

No wonder the government wants to regulate the Internet (of course, they'll claim its to protect the children or something).

UKLP

All good stuff, but I don't know why you bother with UKLP. Despite what it says on the policies website, several of them have told me that they are implacably opposed to LVT or Citizen's Income. I'd rather chance my arm in UKIP who at least show common humanity.

I'm just waiting for

I'm just waiting for somebody to suggest outlawing all clothing that isn't see-though. It's surely just a matter of time.

Thnaks for your overview

I think this article done a great job.What a best way to describe your view. Thanks for sharing with us. Really like your informative article. Hopefully we will get more interesting topic from you in future.

I perhaps ought to say that

I perhaps ought to say that I know quite a few current and former Thames Valley officers on first name terms and I have always had respect for them and what they do. So I really hope that this one guy in particular is one of a "few bad aples". But if that was my experience of contact with the police I would feel the same.

It is amazing that we

It is amazing that we prevent as many terrorist attacks as we do with utter plonkers like thesde 'protecting' us. I have no doubt that as a law abiding person in 2008, I would consider the police to a significant threat to my well being.

Thanks Mike - I am sure, as

Thanks Mike - I am sure, as your comment implies, that the "Fourth" is being abused, and that things like the Patriot Act are severely testing its very existence. At least you've got one though, and in theory, a judicial branch that could uphold it. We have neither. Or at least any judge who would would be condemned as an "activist judge" rather than one fulfilling their constitutional role!

4th Amendment

Mike Haubrich, FCD — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:52:40 +0000

If you were to have the likes of our 4th Amendment I would only hope that you would put it to better use than we have.

...and I thought all London

...and I thought all London policemen eventually moved to Goathland!

That is absolutely

Peter Mc — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:24:34 +0000

That is absolutely astonishing and infuriating. (Glad I live in North Yorkshire where we see a policeman and assume he's lost.)

I'm very glad it was not

I'm very glad it was not me. It can take hours to verify my address because of perpetual cock-ups and confusion over the electoral roll and my landlord's propensity for changing my address o a whim. I have, however, just in case, taken any ID with an address on for me out of my wallet and will not be carrying them on me any more.

That reminds me - that Fourth Amendment is the thing that's used to stop US officials rummaging through your bin rubbish like the bin spooks in Britain are doing isn't it?

The home hub is evil anyway.

The home hub is evil anyway. It pollutes the HF radio spectrum horribly, with no concern for other users...

Then vote no by adding your

Then vote no by adding your own box to the ballot paper and putting a cross into it.

It will be recorded as a spoilt ballot. It will not be brushed aside as "apathy" or an excuse to come up with bogus, fraudulent alternatives to voting.

60% of votes cast in Zimbabwe were spoilt ballots.

400,000 (half of Ken Livingstone first choicers) were spoilt ballots.
