Not to mention the Chimps tea party

So it seem this ludicrous government created "panic" was from a deliberate policy to try and make the union look bad.

“This is our Thatcher moment. In order to defeat the coming miners’ strike, she stockpiled coal. When the strike came, she weathered it, and the Labour Party, tarred by the strike, was humiliated. In order to defeat the coming fuel drivers’ strike, we want supplies of petrol stockpiled. Then, if the strike comes, we will weather it, and Labour, in hock to the Unite union, will be blamed.”

Yeah I remember the coal miners strike well (being one myself) Arthur Scargill walked straight into that evil cows trap. If he had taken a ballot on all his members he would have got the vote and the backing of a lot of other unions, (like the dock workers union) and the out come would have been totally different.

Just for BossMark...IN COMING!

Controversial new laws which would allow the government to monitor emails, web history, phone calls and text messages are due to be announced later this year.

Facebook inboxes and Twitter direct messages will also be targeted under the Communications Capabilities Development Programme.

Today's Times ran the story as well.

Nice to see we are being protected by The State...Like Heck We Are!

[Oberon]

WTF? I really hoped this was an April 1st story by the BBC...I mean, yes I know that Google and Facebook already monitor just about everything we do...but they do not judge upon what you look at or read.
This is very Beijing and I really hope there is some sort of severe public backlash against this.

The link ran the story on March 19, 2012 1:19 PM GMT, days before The Times did. Labour tried a similar thing back in 2006 and failed, lets hope this one fails as well.

Yeah and do you know what the ironic thing is?

The Tory party was one of the major criticisers against Labour's plans.

So regardless of whether the law is needed or not, the Conservatives are yet again, putting party politics over the well being of this country.

Thats what the Tory gits do and nothing will change.

One Tory is against it, David Davis.

I am sending a letter to my MP & Cameron and reminding them back in 2006 they did not back Labour's one so why are they doing this?

Get writing people and give them Hell.

Yeah me too....felt a lot of compassion for the miners who suffered great depravation from the actions of their leader and national exec.

Wasn't too impressed at the notion some had withdrawn six months wages in advance....just to be on the safe side mind you.

This is true he is a spineless git
