Yet more government based rants...

Good god, they're getting it bad.

Latest news: The government plan to keep details on the senders and recipients of all email going into and out of the country, on the promise that it will catch terrorists. Yeah, cos that's gonna work. "Ooooh, Mr Joe Bloggs sent an email to osama@bombtheblogosphere.com. We've caught a terrorist, hurr hurr." Yes. And? So did 7000 other wankers you great collection of muppets. Its called SPAM dumbasses. Seriously. How would it ever stand up in court.

"Mr Joe Bloggs sent an email to this address."

"What was in it?"

"We don't know, we don't store that." (Please note, that's not an invitation to store more data)

That's about as incriminating as walking past someone in the street. You know they saw each other and that's about it.

This is also going to be phishing galore. How naive does Wacqui Jacqui need to be to think that her 3rd party wont sell the details on? People will do anything for some cash.


Fortunately, all my email is encrypted and sent out of the country before it hits the mainline, so fuck you, Nu Labour.

Dark,
