I say Kudos to Paul Lewis and The Guardian for doing their job. If nothing else, perhaps they sparked some discussion on the loss of basic rights. Also, I like the idea of citizens being warned on what they can expect... Meanwhile, our own media has devoted countless hours to the infidelities of a certain golfer, but not even one on the issue of police abuse /civil rights.

Either that or the UK public doesn't actually care what the press has to say. Sad, either way. On a side note, i don't listen to what our mainstream press has to say, and haven't since 2001.

Congratulations to the citizens of the UK for following the orders of their one true leader, bin Laden! This is of course a satirical comment, but it's amazing how well the west is heading in the direction that bin Laden and those like him want it to go.

I am also afraid of taking pictures anywhere but inside my own home...under a blanket...in the dark...with the curtains drawn...and no battery in the camera.
