The other day terrorists attacked and killed a number of people in Paris at the headquarters of a satirical magazine called Charlie Hebdo.
Now I have some pretty strong feelings about freedom of speech and freedom of expression and based on absolutely NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER I feel that Charlie Hebdo would be a magazine that I would not approve of - it seems that they regularly attack faith and push the boundaries of decency.
Guess what folks - on that basis I don't BUY the magazine - I mean why the heck should I spend MY money on something I don't agree with and is likely to wind me up.
Whatever the provocation I think that going on the rampage with guns is over the top and unlikely to present a showcase for tolerant or mainstream Islam, any more than the crusades were a lesson in tolerant and loving Christianity!
The people who carried out this violent attack were not acting rationally nor within the teaching of their faith, but more to the point WHY THE HELL DID THESE IDIOTS BUY THE MAGAZINE THAT SO OFFENDED THEM??
One of the downsides of freedom of speech is that sometimes we have to allow people we disagree with the freedom to spout their hate message (Like Nigel Farage and UKIP)
there is however no need to go out and SEEK being offended - what kind of moron would actively watch a UKIP party political if they are (I'll tone it down from "Rational human being" to) a Europhile.
The other thing that got me was the idiot decision by that old Etonian Champagne lout David Cameron who does prime minister impressions (Have you heard his Tony Blair?) who has decided that means of communications that are not designed for public consumption have to be able to be read by the security services - so end to end security will be illegal.
DAVID - this means that you have access to my bank account if I want to use online banking - this is unsafe - if you want to compromise this so the security services can read it what is to stop bad people using the same loophole and backdoor?
It is like the blooming ridiculous TSA approved locks on luggage - these can be picked by security who have tools to do this and obviously NO sets have EVER been lost or mislaid.........
You say the innocent (like Jean Paul de menezes and the at least 30 other cased of justice miscarriage in the last 10 years) have nothing to fear........
I hope that David Cameron does not get his way on this bill that would not make us any safer
