Via Slashdot, this:
On March 11, Google revealed its latest plan to violate your privacy… I propose that we collectively embark on a civil disobedience campaign of intentional, automated “click fraud” in order to undermine Google’s advertising program with the goal of forcing Google to adopt a pro-privacy corporate policy… Click fraud can very quickly [...]

A Counterblast to Plodsnuffing
Posted in resistance, tagged plodsnuffing on 7 March, 2009 | 15 Comments »
From the Barrel of a Gun:
A protester has thrown green custard in the face of Secretary of State for Business Peter Mandelson.
Good.
…this has raised the issue of the legitimacy of direct action.
Legitimacy in ethical terms, or in legal?
I am a great supporter of direct action.
So am I. Done some myself.
Democracy simply does not work, [...]

A complete, correct, coherent and concise summary of the position with respect to the forthcoming long hot summer, by the irreplaceable leg-iron. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest:
If we don’t riot, Labour are likely to be obliterated in a general election.
If we riot, there won’t be one.
Unable to add to this, I merely repeat:
Old craft skills

Blogging will remain intermittent for a while as a result of a number of factors, which cannot be discussed for fear that, if they were, then the People’s Democratic Revolutionary Liberation Front of Mid-Redneckshire (Anarcho-Syndicalist) might not receive the consignment of nuclear atomic laser ray guns for which the former Treasurer, currently undergoing re-education, was [...]

An article in The Register about reaction to last week’s story concerning police imposing facial-recognition type CCTV on pub landlords.
There doesn’t seem to be much that I can do about this. I never go to pubs nowadays. However, those who do might consider thwarting it.
1. Obtain some disguises. Only a few are needed. Simplicity, ruggedness [...]

Excellent advice and new cut-out-and-keep feature from Old Holborn (though it appears to have been originated by a Mr. Thomas).
I’ve printed mine out. Because the font is large enough to be reliably distinguishable by those demonstrating the effects of a lifelong addiction to masturbation it is not so much a ‘card’ as a ‘page’.

It turns out (in The Register) that those people one sees ostentatiously waving iPhones are actually working for the CIA, and that soon their advanced technical resources will be available to the terrorist- bincrime-beleaguered British government.
One wonders how long it will be before some peaked-capped council jobsworth, in hot pursuit of the identities of padeophiles [...]

I note some statistics:
The flash mob caused police to close the station for around 90 minutes… A City of London Police spokeswoman, who was on the scene said: “We had to close the station because it was completely overcrowded. There were around 12,000 people here. The event was generally [...]

At the Libertarian Alliance Dr. Sean Gabb analyses the phenomenon of wordcrime:
…the highly selective use of speech codes and hate speech laws has nothing really to do with politeness. It is about power. The British ruling class may talk the language of love and diversity and inclusiveness. What it obviously wants is the unlimited power [...]

The Ambush Predator, citing the Daily Mail (caveat lector), on the subject of a Mr. Streisand Woodgate, who is a traffic warden. Apparently he is so hated locally that Suffolk Police have now suppressed a FaceBook page about him on which outraged local drivers were wont to express their dissatisfaction with his conduct:
