Re: AC Stuart Longland Pot, meet Kettle

Just weigh up the risks of getting blown up by some nutjob vs the complete loss of every citizens privacy.

These actions should be balanced, and right now we are not in a civil or world war which would warrant such a hideous invasion of privacy. Many many more people die every day from preventable accidents and health issues or wars. You are being made fearful by the terrorists and are scared enough to just hand our most private lives which have nothing to do with govt away. It will not stop them.

Re: So now that the recipe for the perfect bacon sarnie has been found.

I'm actually a vegetarian (although I think eating meat is totally natural etc and am not a moss juggler) , and have read this thread with interest.

Best thing to wash a bacon sarnie down with? Why, a cup of strong builders tea of course!
