Ok well I don't see the control element I have to say. We're controlled by the media more than governments, IMO - that's why they can't get us to behave and vote correctly when it comes to the future of our country

As another point, why would the Americans be following the activities of Merkel if they were just after terrorists? Why prism? And we know for certain that the Chinese government is hacking companies for corporate advantage. I don't think it's a stretch to say the West is doing the same thing. Although I think they'd be going for bigger fish than any of us.

Just to weigh in here, the French government has told it's people to just accept terrorism. So I don't know how much they actually do care... Sadiq Kahn said something similar.

Ouch...

...sorry, that was rude.

Fuck you.

I don't find the Guardian massively reliable, but the BBC I have some time for. Fair enough.

It'll have a higher price to justify a lot of the R and D. Later models will be improved and more competitive.

I was going to state that RT is entirely untrustworthy but then it seems to come from the bureau of investigative journalists... I know nothing of their origins, mind you. Either way, it's not exactly an imaginative stretch to think that this would happen.

Ah true enough - I've already concluded that I could never go into politics based on some of the rants made in private messages on facebook (where I'm less restrained). It depends on how likely you are to show up on their radar I guess.

Yes except that anyone with designs on such a thing wouldn't use gmail or yahoo. Or if they did, they'd deserve to get caught. For you, is it just the principle, or do you see some manner of long term issue posed to yourself as a result of ignoring this?

I still use gmail. To be honest, this shit doesn't bother me probably as much as it should though... At the end of the day, I can't imagine that they're literally reading each email. It'll be scanning them for words they potentially don't like, but given that I've no plans at present to overthrow the state, I don't see my emails being of any real interest to them. I'd feel differently if they were using this as a means of corporate espionage.

Being fair though, that's a grim fucking picture of her.

God, that looks like there's nothing inside her head. Just a dark shadow where her eyes should be. Like someone is wearing her face...

Aye, essembee, this is a fucking weird argument to have. Clearly you're applying double standards on this one - and you don't need to, Sunderland provide fucking loads of examples of subhuman behaviour as a football club without us having to come up with examples that could just as easily be turned back on us...

I thought I responded to your post mate, sorry! Generally speaking, I'm glad there are some people on here capable of resisting the lure of the Tories as they get older. Renton and Gemmill should take note

I always value your contributions in this thread, rare though they are.

What the actual fuck has gone on there exactly? I'm assuming she just woke up one morning and realised what she'd done, but did something kick it off?

Wow.
