Got anymore percentages in your arse?

Oh TF, you truly warm my heart sometimes. :)

…sad but true…

Queen has nothing to do with it, this is entirely down to Mandelson and several MPs being bribed, and the rest not knowing enough about the subject matter to go against it. The Queen has no power, and is just there to stamp the forms the government put in front of her, and pose for the media. If you get rid of her it won’t make any difference, the government will still be corrupt, and will still **** over everyone living in the UK.

I’ve been pushing for independence for England for years, but no one listens.

But, what can you do?

If they can rip us off for duck houses, second mortgages, putting new light bulbs in, why would they give a second thought to disconnecting policies for a govenrment that wont get elected next time.

The push is now, purley because of the change in parliment which will happen in the next election.

What we should be saying is, we will vote for you, if you dont ever put this bill into place, they might start listening then.

Yes, we are going to need some proper protections for search engines. We’re going to need to think carefully how they feature in this. To what extent they can be asked to block material. I think they will have to be asked to block material to some extent. I looked for a copy of Stephen Fry reading one of Harry Potter stories the other day, [...], but I think the first three pages were occupied by illegal material when I looked for it on Google. It was extremely difficult to actually go on and find something legal. It was easy enough to identify them because they all referred to BitTorrent (laughs), so it would be easy enough to block them out of the index since they were obviously advertising that they were illegal services. I don’t see why search engines shouldn’t be able to block these things, and indeed it would be one of the most obvious ways of making life inconvenient for those who were… and it’s the easiest way to make life inconvenient compared with trying to block individuals Internet traffic is to take these things down off the search engines. So I do think this is going to be a productive way to go. I suspect it will require a lot more consideration than we’ve had time to give it, but I go back to my ammendment at committee, this is where clause 17 ought to be heading and, as has been suggested by the noble Lord, Lord Putnam, if this gets struck out of the bill at wash-up, we certainly ought to immediately begin discussions on how we can make a success of going down this route in order to deal effectively with piracy at source rather than just prosecuting those that happen to be ‘drinking the counterfeit rum’.”

P.S. dissapear > disappear (the shame…, but hey, it’s early…;)

So there are mechanisms out there that are commonly used by search engines, again, to make it inconvenient for people to find content that Google doesn’t approve of, and to go back to what the noble Lord Putnam said, it’s a question of taking these people, like the ISPs and the search engines, and joining them in, not letting them think that they’re in some way isolated, that they in some way have an ability to act all on their own without any thought into how they fit into the mesh of copyright and the melding of the interests of the consumer and of the producer that lies at the heart of it. All these players have a part to play, and yes we should protect what search engines do assiduously, and we should be very careful not to start playing the Chinese Government with them… but on the other hand, as I’m sure they won’t, they should not think that they can stand completely aside and act with complete freedom as if they don’t have a role in the way in which copyright is protected on the net.”

Press Association, Sunday March 21 2010
Labour has promised a crackdown on lobbying by ex-ministers after several of its senior MPs were filmed apparently offering their services for cash.

The party rushed forward a manifesto pledge for tighter regulation and monitoring as it emerged politicians had claimed to be able to influence policy.

Ex-Cabinet minister Stephen Byers was among retiring MPs interviewed by a fictitious US lobbying firm as part of a secret filming operation for a television documentary. He told an undercover reporter he had secured secret deals with ministers, could get confidential information from Number 10 and was able to help firms involved in price fixing get around the law.

The North Tyneside MP retracted his claims the following day – insisting he had “never lobbied ministers on behalf of commercial interests” and had exaggerated his influence.

The Sunday Times, which carried out the interviews with Channel 4′s Dispatches programme, said Mr Byers, who held several key cabinet portfolios such as trade and transport, wanted £5,000 a day.

Another of those filmed was ex-health secretary Patricia Hewitt, who said she “completely rejected” the suggestion that she helped obtain a key seat on a Government advisory group for a client paying her £3,000 a day.

She stressed that the role she had been discussing would only have been taken up after she stepped down as an MP at the imminent election and insisted there was “nothing unusual or improper in the business appointments that I have taken up since leaving Government”.

Tory leader David Cameron promised tougher controls last month – warning that secret corporate lobbying was the “next big scandal waiting to happen” in Westminster after expenses.

Stung by the latest revelations – which involved a number of retiring MPs including ex-minister Geoff Hoon and Margaret Moran – Labour said it too would act if it wins the general election.

“There can never be any suggestion that companies and businesses can only speak to government by buying access through MPs or anybody else,” a spokesman said. “What this case shows is that we need more transparency in the entire lobbying system. That’s why we believe that the time has come to support a Statutory Register of Lobbyists and we will bring forward proposals to that effect in our manifesto, building on the work we have already done to create a voluntary code.”

Even better, they should link up with VPN providers and give all their customers free VPN access with their broadband ;)

That would send a message to the “government” that could not be ignored.

It may come to that, if the ISPs and their customers have the balls for a battle.

How about it TalkTalk?

I only hope this FAiLs

This just shows how corrupted upper government is. As long as everyone up there agrees you don’t have to consider the people’s opinions.

All decision making on public policy is based on favours and backhanders.

Nobody gets into politics for the good of others. You get into politics to help yourself to corporate and public coffers.

Of course, it’s not stealing, it’s “sharing” albeit with about 12 million people, 10% at least who *might* have bought it, and about 1% who have a crisis of conscience and do actually buy it.

So, no lost sales there then

“Hell will be a sanctuary for these bastards. The end of days will be upon them, for I will starve no more.” – GOD

So says we all!

remember the poll tax? crap that the majority disagree with doesn’t stand a chance

stop worrying, move along

Please give me a shout and we’ll get this thing going – sam@sassybox.net

It’s not just here, this is done all over the world. All so the corporate elite can lord over the rest of the world.

This is a sad world we live in when sh!t like this continues to go on

“Without you I/we are nothing”

Amen.

Hunting and fishing licenses exist to protect the wildlife from being over hunted/fished and going extinct.

See? Some government involvement is good.

I don’t agree with all of the restrictions placed on traveling to other countries, but some of those restrictions are probably a result of issues between your home country and the country you wish to visit. The country you wish to visit may not want tourism. It’s not just the government wanting to bully you.

So, I don’t think what you said is helping your argument.

MAFIAA has been shooting their feet for sometime now so it’s no wonder they don’t care (or don’t see) the damage they are doing on their images.

With the DEB they could join Hugo Chavez and China and live happy as dictators… heh

On a side note, Chavez is trying to start his own great firewall in Venezuela. Will it succeed?

pure win

remember copyright is no LAW it’s a civil issue and will remain so.

so “illegal download” is simply a lie a made up law if you will.

And, when they finish? What will they receive? Enough to clear their consciences? After they see their own sons and daughters being disconnected, or even themselves, will they start to make “special” diners to clean they’re connections?

It will be fun to see what friends they’ll have after this. Knowing that they have been paid to vote to disconnect them. Remember to add them to your tweet accounts and facebook.

We don’t need more law
What we need is that our god given rights are not taken away by a ruthless politician.
Why Do we need license to hunt, to fish, to drive, to travel to another country?
Who decide what to do with us are nothing more then blackmail Bullies
Who the hell have the right to tell us that making copy of video or sharing is illegal?
Democracy is 2 wolf and 1 sheep decide whats for dinner
when are people going to learn not to trust any politician
not to vote
not to comply with their idiotic policy
we the people have the power to say no and to resist any rule we disagree with.
they will use force but if too many dont cooperate the few that control us will lose their power and influence. so it is futile when many refuse to do what the few say. It is time we jump over the fence and bid politician goodbye.
