Re: Be careful Chris

But the Kent photographer fell foul of a couple of thick plods who overstepped their intellect with use of powers they barely understood and were a disgrace to the uniform.

However the Miranda debacle was orchestrated from a senior level and would've been sanctioned at a political level (implicitly or explicitly). This use of the "ways and means act" is beyond your average plod, just like the powers used against protesters at the fracking site. At least PACE applies to the latter.

They were ready for the fallout (therefore a planned operation rather than opportunistic) as loud-mouths like Louise Mench was on Newsnight doing her Mr Angry impression quoting stuff that at that stage hadn't been in the public domain (though she also made it up as she went along too - Fox news style).

Re: Not to mention

Par for the course for Government really. There's an awful lot of clever people doing IT. However they are junior and only following orders and must have thought "it gets me out of the office for a day".

It's the numpties in senior management and even worse the ministers who's to blame for this fiasco.

Wanted to be seen to be doing something.

"Yes Minister/Prime Minister, we'll get our top people on this right away"

All I can think of is Life of Brian "Centuwian, thwow him to the floor", "thwow him woughly"

Truly embarrassing really.

Re: "BBC’s iPlayer arrived on Symbian first"

I was using it in 2008/9 on Nokia 5800Xpress. Downloading was the killer app for me, sitting on trains, planes etc catching up on TV which has only recently been available on iPhone etc. was first on N96

Still able to download on my N8 though streaming has gone but never used it much anyway.

Though mostly do that on my iPad now

Still don't know what to replace N8 with! Waiting to see what the summers PureView on Windows will be..... May get an 808 before that

Duh

I think you missed the point of the collective/rabble/loose association/cells/spotty teenagers/ "Anonymous".

Re: Good!

You sound like a bundle of laughs, think most would hate to work for/with a miserable selfish spiteful old witch like you sound. Though I'm sure there's some concentration camps somewhere in the world that could do with your touch.

Spoken like a true raving nutter

The problem with right wing nutters like you LarsG is that you condemn anything that doesn't serve up your jaundiced, paranoid twisted view of the world as left-wing-bias.

The UK broadcasters (BBC, ITV/N, Sky) do a damn fine job of informing the public without being too partisan. They even go out of their way to give a platform to people of your ilk to give a "balanced" point of view, whereas Joe public would put you in a padded cell!

If you actually analyse the BBC political output, it often tips towards the right in its contributors. For example

Question Time has far more people of right wing persuasion then left - do some research here, not the Daily Mail either look at how many and who is on the panel. Right wing journalists like (the awful) Peter Hitchens and (frankly bonkers) Melanie Philips outnumber left wing ones by 2:1.

Andrew Neil presents another flagship politics program, hardly a leftie or even establishment.

Funny how all politicians from Harold Wilson to the modern day have criticised the BBC and ITV/N as being biased, must mean it's doing its job fairly well if it gets under their skin.

It obviously gets under yours too, so you're in great company of the liars, cheats, war criminals and charlatans that have had power in the UK both political and economic.

Suggest you switch off your TV, read the Daily Heil and blog along with other muppets like Guido Fawkes

Re: I can fell the anger rising within me

"rampant leftism is the root cause of a significant amount of the worlds evils"

and there was me thinking a lot of it was to do with famine, disease, religion, greed and despots - maybe your world!

"Julia Gillard is the embodiment of every thing that is wrong with leftism"

and Goat Jam is the embodiment of inane twattery

Re: Apple really are slimy scumbags

and you AC are so proud you've hidden your identity tsk tsk

glass houses and stones?

Re: Hoorah!

like summary execution? too good for them!! rant rant and more unreasonable indignation.

Anyway, they are a bloody pest and I hope the ICO takes them to the f***ing cleaners!

I'd like to know what spam shite these two c*** are responsible for,

-You've had an accident....

-You can claim against PPI.....

- <insert name> ...you can now write off your debts... (some fucker gave them my name!!!! not just random!!, hmmm methinks a breach of the DPA, time to raise a complaint with the ICO!)

etc etc

Re: Extras

Mr C Hill, you beat me to it.....

Certainly makes up for the useless bastards at my local McDogBurger's where the servings are usually wrong, incomplete or generally stingy. "I thought I ordered large fries, not child portion in a large box"

I worked in McBastards a long time ago and I could probably still do a better job than the useless morons in that branch.

Anyway, the MD of the Welsh outlet is obviously a c*** I hope the news of this locally affects his profits significantly and then the manager can be fired for gross misconduct of bringing the firm into disrepute - also in the manual. RTFM you tosser!

Re: Errr...

but Ted, he got 6 likes (at the moment). More than your puritanical fanboi diatribe. Don't forget there are other 4G phones too.

In fact, no-one cares about your jaundiced opinion either - AC was at least sarcasm, which before you get all Dail Heil on us, is funny and is not the lowest form of wit!

Re: The nano very reminiscent of the iPod mini!

@toadwarrior. What people? If they squint and have a leap of faith and contriteness only a fanboi can have? Utter bollocks!

Given the Lumia has been out some time now? Nokia should sue crApple. Given the shite they spouted about the Samsung tablet Nokia have a case. What's good for the goose...

Evil, evil, evil

hugh, are you the panto villain/troll?

"Oh no it won't......................"

Re: Mayor Bloomberg belongs in prison

"just like your paranoid ramblings - nutter!"

"Name one thing which I said, which was paranoid, and gives you the right to call me nutter. I will source every motherfucking thing I said."

I'm sorry, I should have said paranoid deluded nutter.

Patriots my arse, more fucking nutters that'll beleive anything other nutters tell them. You're all paranoid.

Yes there's corruption and misinformation in the world and the US is top of the league with it's bent media Fux News etc but there isn't an illuminati conspiracy. There's self serving incompetance such as the Patriot Act but that's supported by the same trailer-trash mentality anti-fed/jew/muslim/mexican/catholic/lefty moron that quotes the right to bear arms being the solution to all the ills

grow up

Re: neat

why do they need to bother - most of us already have at least one mobile phone which they can use and also a tracking device can be placed on a car if they really are interested in you.

Re: For a leftist organisation the Right sure do run it

dumbers, dumbers. Lefty interviewers?

John Humphries, Jeremy Paxman, Andrew Marr to name but a few.

I seem to remember Greg Dyke resigning over a run in with Blair and Campbell.

Yep the BBC gets it wrong sometimes and mostly it is too timid with all governments but nonetheless it holds politicians and others to account along with Channel 4 news and Adam Bolton on Sky.

Just because it doesn't agree with your jaded view of the world.doesn't make it biased. If you don't like it just in back to you middle England lemon-sucking cave and read the Daily Heil or Heil on Sunday. With Messrs Hitchens, Philips, LittleJohn and Moir etc enough to satisfy all puritanical, homophobic, racist, Islamophobic, red under the bed paranoia you have.

WTF?

What's that got to do with the price of milk?

Utter bollocks too.

Don't forget Thatch was instrumental in preventing BT wiring up the nation with fibre to every household, at their expense! Think how different the landscape would look now for services.

All those people that still get a shite service over copper must thank her so much for that.

some of us have good eyesight and find large telly tubby fonts / icons annoyingly wasteful.

Roll on retina high-res displays thank you very much!
