Digital Dave Drags in Nick

Seems the PM got grumpy on the plane over to Japan. Talking to hacks about snooping laws, he’s fighting back on the indefensible:

“You’ve got to remember that this was agreed a national security council where sitting round the table was Chris Huhne, Nick Clegg, Ken Clarke – people from impeccable civil libertarian backgrounds. I think when people see the detail they will understand this is a very sensible way of keeping up with technology and not a snoopers’ charter. And I wouldn’t as Prime Minister sanction something that was.”

Hug ‘em close Dave.

        Whoever is pulling the strings. Please give Cameroon a break and cut them as he seems a bit disfunctional with them attached. It all looks like a Thunderbirds episode.
        Thats an idea why dont the BBC do a full puppet show and we can get rid of all the usless fraudster class, at least we will see the strings and not have to put up with all this bull shit.

          “Chris Huhne, Nick Clegg, Ken Clarke – people from impeccable civil libertarian backgrounds.”

          Cameron is so far up his own arse he can’t tell fact from fiction.

          Clarke the nice cuddly old boy who want’s to introduce secret trials with evidence witheld from defendants? Huhne, the man who made a fortune from speeding cameras and snooping on people? Clegg, the same bastion of integrity who endorsed the EAW that required no burden of proof or evidence to be placed before a British court prior to extradition and loss of liberty in a foreign country?

          Scumbags all.

          I wished I earned enough to make tax avoidance worthwhile. In Digital Dave’s Briatin that’s impossible.

            Could it be me but the country with the largest numbers of new billionaires is China and it is the billionaires who are creating all the wealth?

            Strange that as UK gov shift the money from the private sector and individuals to the STATE, a bit like the USSR, and we all remember how their starvation of the people economy worked.

            Well done to the Political class.

      For a wide variety of materials and conditions, V and I are directly proportional to each other, and therefore R and G are constant (although they can depend on other factors like temperature or strain).

      That is why we did not support full PR and only offered an alternative vote concoction.

    We protected civil liberties! Except for the 2000 new offences under law we brought in, 92 days detention without charge (or 68 or 42 depending on which day you asked us), and manhandling, throwing out and holding under the terrorism act an elderly holocaust survivor for heckling.

    This proposal has the fingerprints of the EU all over it.

    Labour tried to implement it and were shouted down by TOry and Lib-Dem opposition.
    The EU/Brussels are now trying to bully the coalition into implementing the snooping proposals so as to ensure Euro harmony.

    Just bear in mind that it won’t just be Westminster having a sniff, there will be 27 other euro nations having a sniff, and all having the ability to whip out an Euro Arrest Warrant at the slightest whim.

    Make some nasty comment about those continentals, they just might decide thats xenophobic, and have you ectradited and banged up.

    You are warned…………..!

    they won’t have the manpower to read every sinlge email etc obviously so it’ll all be done by algorithms….computers programmed to screen for particular words….and yet as we already know from blogs like this, you can always substitute words like c’unt by saying Huhne…so what’s to stop people from simply gaming the algorithms? I’m sure there are multiple euphemisms for jihad etc…

      Any algorithm worth its salt will know that Huhne and c’unt are the same.

      The chap who fixes your car on the cheap has a brother who, when he was 18 and even dafter than he is now, joined some radical movement during a visit to Pakistan and spent the next 6 months watching j*had porn. You send quite a lot of emails to the chap who fixes your car (because, frankly, he is wholly unreliable). The GCHQ computer deduces that you are a terrorist. That cushy job in local government won’t be coming your way after all.

      The priority of every government is to maximise the amount ripped off the population and kow them enough so they never rebel.

    English Liberation Front says:

    From the Coalition Agreement:-

    “3. CIVIL LIBERTIES

    We will be strong in defence of freedom. The Government believes that the British state has become too authoritarian, and that over the past decade it has abused and eroded fundamental human freedoms and historic civil liberties. We need to restore the rights of individuals in the face of encroaching state power, in keeping with Britain’s tradition of freedom and fairness.

    We will implement a full programme of measures to reverse the substantial erosion of civil liberties and roll back state intrusion.

    We will introduce a Freedom Bill.

    We will protect historic freedoms through the defence of trial by jury.

    We will restore rights to non-violent protest.

    We will review libel laws to protect freedom of speech.

    We will introduce safeguards against the misuse of anti-terrorism legislation.

    We will further regulate CCTV.

    !!!>>> We will end the storage of internet and email records without good reason. <<<!!!

    We will introduce a new mechanism to prevent the proliferation of unnecessary new criminal offences.

    We will establish a Commission to investigate the creation of a British Bill of Rights that incorporates and builds on all our obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, ensures that these rights continue to be enshrined in British law, and protects and extends British liberties. We will seek to promote a better understanding of the true scope of these obligations and liberties.”

    Leave us alone Dave and get your EU Nazi pals to leave us alone too. And shove your fascist boiler and conservatory regulations where the sun don't shine.

    “sitting round the table was Chris Huhne,……..–”

    Well Huhne was so “libertine ” that he got rid of ” Greek Phylis ” wife of many years and shacked up with his boob eye candy and then went on to alegedly “do something ” ( sub judice so we cannot say what) and then allegedly got said initial partner to take the flak .

    Very “libertine ” place where they’re both programmed for in September (allegedly ) — unless of course you spend your days standing with back up against the wall.

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
