BT/TalkTalk just lost their appeal against the DEA as well. Nice day for it.

It's a great day for the stalking industry if nothing else.

ONS saying they have no evidence the data has been accessed. Seems a bit rash.

Lulzsec saying they didn't hack the census

that's what I'd say when my mates started getting arrested

Yeah, tho they're also pointing out that they haven't ever claimed to have hacked the census, unlike all their other exploits which they readily claim.

Greetings Internets,
 
We have blissfully obtained records of every single citizen who gave their records to the security-illiterate ILXOR MODS for the 2011 Annual ilXor.com pass-the-hat fundraiser.
 
We're keeping them under lock and key though... so don't worry about your privacy (...until we finish re-formatting them for release)
 
Myself and the rest of my Lulz shipmates will then embark upon a trip to ThePirateBay with our beautiful records for your viewing pleasure!
 
Ahoy! Bwahahaha... >:]

A strike now might be in the interests of the union's boss, but it is not in the interests of its members. Only one in five members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union voted on Wednesday for strike action – the vast majority realise that such a step is unjustifiable.

Danny Alexander, government minister from a party that fewer than one in six members of the electorate voted for.

ya im not sure if politicians should make grand claims about the unexpressed desires of electoral abstainers but hey these cunts have no shame

There's absolutely no reason to join the Conservative Party – and that’s according to David Cameron’s own constituency chairman, Christopher Shale.
In a strategy document seen by The Mail on Sunday, Mr Shale admits that at present there’s ‘no reason to join. Lots of reasons not to’.

The paper, of which Cameron is aware, presents a scathing assessment of the social skills and fundraising efforts of his association.

A senior member of David Cameron's Tory constituency association has been found dead in a toilet at Glastonbury Festival, the BBC understands.

The body of Christopher Shale, chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association, was found at about 0900 BST at the music event in Somerset.

Touting for the 30-something indie tragedian vote

sorry, i meant "wooooh, rock and roll!!!"

Hope Rooney has an alibi.

Amazing if true:

Retailers have hit out after the prospect of a further rise in VAT was floated at a crisis meeting last week between furniture retailers, the Department for Business and the Bank of England

Retailers who attended the meeting on Wednesday - held just two days before Habitat called in the administrators - said that policy makers had “tested the waters” for a further VAT rise.

One retailer told Retail Week that the store groups present found it “scary” that the Government had proposed a further hike.

The source said: “I was really shocked (the meeting) wasn’t about how to stimulate growth”, adding that any further rise would decimate retail sales.

That just seems crazy, even if it was just "testing the waters".

Don't know if anyone saw the Tory who was on Newsnight last night defending the government's pensions reforms - I didn't even catch his name - but, you know, smug, loathsome, unprincipled, the same way they have been since the year dot. I will never forgive the Liberal Democrats for unleashing these cunts on the country.

oh there's a lot of blame to go around.

Yes, but they really deserve it

Paxman?

I jest of course, although his sneering about school holidays was revolting. There was such a lot of tories on there last night it's difficult to single one out, Francis Maude, Nick Boles, Brian Coleman?

Boles, thank God I didn't see all of the programme!

Jesus, his wiki page...

Boles was a scholar at Winchester College before studying PPE at Magdalen College, Oxford, then winning a Kennedy Scholarship

i often wonder, when feeling cynical, whether 'studying PPE' is a euphemism for 'buying an oxbridge degree in order to go into politics'.

would love to see the class breakdown of PPE entrants and final results.

good to see the Labour party standing by its principles and supporting a Trade Union's right to oh hang on Burnham

£326,000 of private schooling might be a counterargument?

ppe is probably the least idle-rich-friendly degree you can try to get into at oxford fwiw.

Blimey public school fees gone up a fair bit since I was at school. I was on an assisted place but we used to get an invoice each term anyway with the assisted place cancelling out the fees, so I know how much it would've cost and it was about £800 a term, so £16800 for 7 years. I guess that was at a fairly minor school though? I dunno.

Duncan Smith urges firms to hire unemployed Britons

David Frost, CUNT, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce:

"After 11 years of formal education, employers say they get kids coming to them who can't read, who can't write, who can't communicate, and don't have that work ethic."

Mr Frost added that the UK's benefits system "did not incentivise" some young people to seek employment.

He also called for reform of the benefits system, saying that able-bodied young people in areas of the UK where jobs are available should not be eligible for any benefits.

How does cutting benefits improve reading and writing skills etc? But pbviously being really poor and desperate more than makes up for any other shortcomings, so that's good :)

i seriously doubt the parents of privately educated ppe graduate ed balls had that kind of wonga, but it's a bit of an overstatement anyway:

A recent report from the Halifax bank claimed that if you are about to embark on paying for a private education now for your child from the age of three to 18, then you can expect to fork out £326,000, assuming fees continue to rise at about 6% a year and including extras such as uniform and books.

mine cost about £25k all in, i think. not including books, which, apparently, no state school kid need buy. the schools do seem to be more pricey now and have many more rich chinese kids.

but being real, yes, elite universities tend to be packed with the children of the educated middle classes, wherever they were schooled.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverclyde_by-election,_2011

Candidate Sophie Bridger
Party Liberal Democrat
Popular vote 627
Percentage 2.2%

down from 13.3% in the 2010 GE.

Tory candidate's share down 0.1 percent less than the "Labour" candidate.

Thinking of doing a tribute/nostalgia thread for the Labour Party now it's dead.

good idea do it on facebook

I think lots of trad Labour votes went to SNP while lots of LDs went to Labour making it look like a swing from LD to SNP with everyone else fairly static. Really low turn-out too. I don't think the LD candidate being about 12 years old helped her already difficult task.

The Tory guy's been on the council for years and is fairly well known and liked in the area, for a Tory. He was visiting my sister-in-law's neighbour the other day and gave me a wee "well done" for being out in the pissing rain helping a woman (my s-i-l) with a flat tyre - didn't roll his fucking sleeves up to give me a hand though. All in this together my arse.

He left his car's lights on when he nipped into the neighbour's for a cuppa. We didn't tell him.

not sure what thread this should go on, here?

Holy shit. Seriously?

Seriously???

The messages were deleted by journalists in the first few days after Milly's disappearance so as to free up space for more messages. As a result friends and relatives of Milly concluded wrongly that she might still be alive. Police feared evidence may have been destroyed.

what the FUCK
