See my Leery about Leveson post. They ARE after the big bloggers, whatever they may say. H/T her target.
A little bird tweeted in my ear that it was time to come over and see how things are.

Yep, they’ve had the “free press” eating out of their hand for a long time now.
If they did regulate it, little would change. I’m sure they’d still be the odd bit of dissent but purely to give the illusion of freedom.
I imagine the real target was always the internet.LikeLike

But surely Guido needs to be sent to prison to stop him hacking celebs phones? ^^ No Maybe it’s to stop him saying embarrasing but true things about politicians then.. it’s all so confusing ^^

Every single pro-Levison poli belongs in gaol as a traitor to the values s/he was elected to defend. Respectable pols would be demanding an end to the shameful state control of the broadcast media rather than seeking to extend it to print and pixel.

I read they are working on that. Legislation that will force Internet providers to keep data on emails and internet use for a year. so the police/customs/a council office boy can look at it. Now when Labour were wanting to do that the conservatives were against it, how come they are for it now?
The festival of Janus the god of beginnings (just has to be a politician’s favorite god with him having two faces ^_^ ) is fast approaching. Don’t forget the updating of lamps to provide light for the coming year..LikeLike

Quite honestly I believe all our email correspondence is being cached already, this is not just a UK problem, the USA are building a huge new facility in Colorado to do just that, whatever the USA and UK do is available to Canada and Australia via ECHELON.
Data storage used to be expensive now it costs peanuts, translation and interpretation of the massive files are their current roadblock.LikeLike

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
