Operation Lucifer

Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a conspiracy theory.
The American National Security Agency (NSA being held really to mean ‘No Such Agency’ or perhaps ‘Never Say Anything’) were said to be reading every e-mail that was sent within, or to or from, the USA.
How did we know this?
Well, you see, the NSA’s [...]

Brief and meaningless

mummylonglegs:
The police are dying to bust some heads. Gordon is desperate for the police to bust some heads. And the protestors appear to be quite willing to have their heads busted. What a fucking waste of time. I’m sorry if any one disagrees with me but violence and vandalism will not acheive anything.

The predictable scare story in the Independent about how the internet is being used to coordinate riots gushes thus:

Seconds out; round two

Congratulations to all those who made their point (not that I necessarily agree with it) in central London today. I too heard the six o’clock news and independently arrived at the conclusion drawn by mummylonglegs, that the MSM are rather disappointed that there were no arrests.

The ten-point plan

Apologies for another rather late start, caused this time by HMRC (once again) and some computer problems.
The quite unprecedented Schnews gives a ten-point tactical guide to fighting the police. It is not exactly schnew Schnews. And these fellows are too young to remember marbles.
