Jebus H Ken, what the f**k are you on about?

You quoted me so I gues you’re referring to me but if you actually looked you’d see I did not once mention “Police state”.

Neither did I express hatred for Bush.

I made a comment about “right-wing Bush” (which he is) and his beginnings as a supposed ‘compassionate conservative’ where not everything came down to a narrow economic perspective and a broader social awareness was supposedly going to be genuinely considered.

I certainly do not consider Obama “God”, even if I do expect him to be a better US President (why are people on the right-wing making that sort of ludicrous comment?
I’ve noticed it appearing pretty frequently.)

Defensive, much?!

LOL

Will your need to constantly show your I-hate-Bush-but-Obama-is-God fixation for a country you don’t live in or know much about, being a police state and all, after next week?

This is simply a matter of the minimum standard being set.
No-one will be a on less than 2mb connection no matter wherever you are in the UK, even on the very fringes.

Meanwhile the majority in the UK (by the end of 2010) will be on C21N tech ensuring that the current ‘up to 8mb’ connection most can have rises to an ‘up to 24mb’ connection.

(and this is under plans that were in place before the coming recession, the major capital public spending programs the UK Gov – like Govs all around the world – is instituting will undoubtedly go further in improving the UK’s internet infrastructure)

Excellent.

Even right-wing Rep Bush had a similar theme with one or two of his ideas (or at least in his PR) ‘no-one left behind’ wasn’t it?

Commercial freedom is one thing but there is also an element of social responsibility which wider society demands too.
It could be you, your parents or your kids that end up on the fringes.

(btw Roger Wilcocks, the UK Gov once did build and pay for the networks, then the Thatcher Gov sold what ‘we’ the people used to own back to us in a privatisation that let the financial institutions get hold of what was once ours at a knock-down price.
The least they can do is maintain a degree of responsibility towards the people from whom they now profit so handsomely.

…..and if you seriously imagine the present Labour Gov in the UK is remotely close to being ‘socialist’ I suggest you go and find out what the word really means instead of casually throwing about laughably inappropriate terms.).
