“BBC is just a chicken shit news service now.”
“On the issue of the BBC, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude where their allegiances lie…”

The thing I’ll always remember the BBC for is the way their TV news reported on 9/11 that WTC7 had collapsed, a 1/2 hour BEFORE it actually did, with the building still standing large as life behind the reporter.

…Things that make you say “WTF??!?”.

Why does it take the intervention of the EC(european commission) to get the UK government to upload the rights of its citizens? Evidently they are so obsessed with turning this country into a police state with a political system so corrupt even Mugabe would be proud of it, that they completely neglect the plight of the people.

We have MPs using public money to fund their property empires, unelected peers who write laws for the highest bidder, and foreign bank creditors whom the government deems to be worthy of hundreds of billions of tax payer pounds all under the guise of protecting the country, when in fact it will enslave many future generations to poverty.

If they try and profile me by using a default opt-in (opt-out) scheme, then I’ll sue my ISP.

On the issue of the BBC, it doesn’t take a genius to conclude where their allegiances lie, for we only have to look to the BBC’s reports of Davenport Lyons and other partisan articles on copyright and file sharing (claiming the use of encryption is evidence of illegal activity. Specifically the perennial accusation of terrorism). It’s a shame really because the BBC does make some good content, yet its desire to join the ranks of the copyright MAFIAA is a disturbing trend.

If and when Phorm ever gets a foot hold, rather than give them the ability to take a browser cookie I will simply turn off the ability to accept cookies with the router. I won’t be able to log in to sites then but I’ll not be giving up data directly to them.

BBC is just a chicken shit news service now. does’nt give a s**t about its customers (license fee payers). Just a glove puppet for the current government, sad really.

Phorm should be told to bugger off.
