      He's absolutely right, of course. I mean, a couple of men with guns killed some people in another country, so our only possible response is to give up more of our civil liberties. Why are you having such trouble seeing the obvious?

        I think it is an excellent idea. He has a lot more in his bank account than I have in mine... :laugh:

          Well, that's not really what he is saying, even though it appears so. But, as usual, a knee-jerk response tends to sound pretty silly.

              It sounds clear...

              David Cameron:

              "Are we going to allow a means of communications which it simply isn't possible to read? My answer to that question is: 'No, we must not.'"

              Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

                    It's not entirely, knee jerk response. Governments want to control message encryption to a certain degree; that is fact, not fiction.

                      It's a good thing I am going to be soon releasing a piece of steganography software I have written. The sunshines won't have a clue how files are encrypted within images, even if they get hold of the source code.

                        What a tit he is. Really. The problem with the Paris incident is the failure of the French to surveil these people despite them being known affiliates of terrorists. That, was a stupid mistake to make.

                            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                              A friend of mine back in the UK, who is very politically aware, said this not long after Cameron got elected: "From time-to-time the electorate makes choices that you don't politically agree with; that's democracy. But when they elect an incompetent administration ..."

                              Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                        I'd say the last few PM's we've had have probably been amongst the worst this country's ever seen. The next one isn't looking great either :(
