well:
 
Does that not look immensely tasty.

Right enough, not a winter warmer but worth a sip!

So I need to Blog about news, hmm well there is not a lot of news about at the moment, what with the Newspapers being careful and so on of not upsetting politicians.

For YEARS it's been known that the press do underhanded things such as birbing police (those few that are bribe-able) and tapping and hacking email and voicemail accounts of all and sundry!

Well at some point the Press have pissed off the politicos and they pissed off someone in politics or law over whom they had no leverage by way of blackmail or it was someone the left off thier 'favours' list etc.

Anyway, you might think this is a good thing that all this came out.

Well, it it, the press and journo's should NOT get information by underhanded means! 

Unfortunately now, the press are "towing the line" with governments as to not pi$$ them off for fear of thier job/jail.

The NOTW etc. have sort of got justice but the flipside to all this is that perhaps the press are now being rather 'walking on glass' around political issues whereas 'fair game' idea now has with it reservations...

THE TRUTH IS THAT GOVERNMENTS HACK THE PHONES EMAILS AND INTERNET OF THE GENERAL POPULACE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME.

Now they want to bring out LEGISLATION (SEE SNOOPER BILL) to make LEGAL what they are ALREADY DOING.

And HOW do we know they are already doing it.

Well, "flip of a switch" access to bank accounts, bills, credit card statements, phone bills, emails (where agreements exist with the big companies and ISP's who are given a licence to operate secure email as long as GCHQ gets an decrypted copy of each email - msn, yahoo BBM etc.) etc. are all right now peruse-able by clandestine government.


The Snooper Bills are designed to Legalize what they are already doing so that they can admit it when needed and make data obtained in this fashion, "legal".

WE KNOW THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE OF HOW HARD THEY CAME DOWN ON NEWS OF THE WORD etc.

This, you would think would be a hand-slap offence on the lackeys and journo's who actually DID it.

Since when is 'knowing something is going on' a crime of greater import than the prepetration thereof.

That, my blog friend, is the oddity.

And the oddity exists as per the reason above.

The loud accuser, accuseth those of crimes he himself is perpetrating which lie undiscovered....
