It’s not often the Govt say that. Go sign the Turing petition and rather appropriately complete a captcha at the end to do so.

Running out of oil.
“Economists and politicians continually debate policies that will lead to a return to economic growth,” the authors note. “But because they have failed to recognize that the high price of energy is a central problem, they haven’t identified the necessary solution: weaning society off fossil fuel.”
This weaning will require a large deployment of efficiency measures, nuclear power, and renewable energy sources. All of this will take time, which is why efforts need to be started now..

FTFY.
Un-European
I was as likely to be right wing as I was to be in love with Europe on any level at all.
How European are you?
So, why do I despise the EU? France. That’s a significant factor. Spineless government who can’t control their lorry drivers or fishermen or farmers and a spineless media who will not control their politicians. Is there an English person who does like the French? It’s the corrupt EU politicians who sit around creating their own gravy train while throwing subsidies to every farmer in France. It’s the other countries in the EU – like Germany – who say that Britain should follow all the EU rules about foreign competition while breaking those same laws to make sure their transport and infrastructure is built in Germany.
Back to that thing called France. The EU states that when a refugee lands in your country you have to take them in. But oh no, not the French. They must transport them in droves up to Calais and let them cross to the UK. France is a big place, Calais isn’t that close to any border yet where do France put all these people? they hate the English so they push these people toward the UK. They could do something, they choose not to. And even if Calais were close to a border the French would have to push them back to where they had come from. But no, some slack security will let them through.
If you thought the Euro was a good idea you need your head felt because to be honest you are stupid. It would never ever work.
Play videogames? Ubisoft use the most ridiculous DRM in their games. French company.
Mathew Fraser says the CSA’s decision may be linked to an anti-English language reflex. “Facebook and Twitter are, of course, American social networks. In France, they are regarded, at least implicitly, as symbols of Anglo-Saxon global dominance.” France24.com
I don’t think I have a problem with many others. Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy etc are all fine. So remove France and Germany from the EU and it might – just might – be tolerable. Until then I’m all in favour of leaving it and all it’s treaties behind and getting on without the bureaucratic corrupt nepotistic anti-UK brigade over the Channel.
FBI wants your ‘open source’.
It listed websites that the centre planned to monitor. They include YouTube, the photo service Flickr, and Itstrending.com – a site which shows popular shared items on Facebook.
It also highlighted words it looked out for. These include “gangs”, “small pox”, “leak”, “recall” and “2600″ – an apparent reference to the hacking-focused magazine.
BBC News – FBI plans social network map alert mash-up application.
Weird selection of words there and why tell people? Not because of the bad guys but those on the websites who will use them for amusement. At least they are short enough that on twitter they won’t be abbreviated. I hope they know the difference between small pox and smallpox though. It’ll hit the Atari retro crowd too.
Good riddance
Excellent news. Let’s hope he was leading by example for all other convicted paedophiles.

Got any duck tape?
Video of the girl whose bungee rope broke. There are numerous videos but this is the funny one – you can hear one woman crying out “She’s in the fuckin water!” – well yes, where else would she be? And the company say “the broken equipment has been replaced” – sort of goes without saying doesn’t it?
Idiot Brand
Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.
This was as certain as night following day, water being wet and people regretting those tattoos they get when under control of that “love” thing (as they did). She’s way better off without him.
All out.
The UK’s biggest trade unions have drawn up plans for a sustained campaign of industrial action involving several one-day national strikes
BBC News – Unions planning ‘series of national strikes’
Good. Unions are part of the solution right now, they are not any part of the problem. Those in power that say Unions are the problem are themselves part of the problem.
A nice quote
My greatest regret… It’s corny, but it’s that I met my wife Gemma quite late in life. I wish I had met her 20 years before: my life would have been 20 years happier.
