To add to my already bad mood, I now hear that David Cameron is planning to block social networks because they may have been used to organise the riots. Because, you know, that'll totally stop people that are keen and eager to riot from organising them when the chance arises. People rioted long before social networks came along for christ's sake, the man has absolutley no mangoesing clue what he's on about, but that should come as no surprise. Plus, a lot of clean up operations were organised through them, and he convienently forgot about that >_>

@leonkfox They've been wanting to do stuff like this for a very long time. It was all in their Interception Modernisation Plan to run the whole thing through GCHQ down at Milton Keynes and data-mine the whole thing for suspicious keyphrases and the like. They already spent £2billion on the thing.

@ceruleanspark Uhh...Dang. And just as things were starting to look up for you guys, what with fair use finally being acknowledged. Or at least, been proposed to be acknowledged. (sigh) governments...

@ceruleanspark Cool. The UK will be like the new China. The old China was getting old, anyway.

@ceruleanspark Yay for censorship, yay for the Tories, yay for my Lib Dem vote essentially becoming a Tory vote...did I mention how excited I am?

@leonkfox In fairness, the Labour government desperately wanted this stuff in place to fight the terrorisms. They just didn't have anything sufficiently shocking happen when they were in power to force it through.
