Only in the UK could we have the government alluding to the removal of protections for citizens against the possibility of human rights abuse from the police days after they shot a man in questionable circumstances, and weeks after corruption was found in the Metropolitan's highest command.

CUSTARDO: Why should I do your googling for you?

This is the announcement of a working group to look at options. Hardly the same league as the measure brought in under the previous administration (which the coalition has been re-examining and repealing - obvious example, ID cards).

Now, back to the ham....

It's taken the mainstream media until today to take any notice of what happened to Woolwich on Monday night.

I hate Twitter - it's the most ridiculous rumour factory and I dare say has been used to incite trouble but without it, I'd have been royally fucked these last few days.

The ham sale was circulated on MN, a well known social media site. This is not the first time MN has created havoc. Whast is now referred to as biscuit gate was a real low point in Gordon Browns political career.

Yes but samcam is part of this drivel, surely no shutting down on MN. I can see the headlines-

Half price nice ham causes chaos in East Dulwich Deli!

Huffing Mums poke each other in the ribs at local deli to get to the nice ham that was on sale.

It brings this to mind ...

excellent news

social media networks are channels for dull ego-centrics who love to proclaim their own lives as though anyone has any interest; focuses of cyber-bullying; detrimental to the psychological development of our children

I wish he would shut down facebook, twitter, messenger and all the drivel that accompanies this modern world drive for technology

but he won't - because he can't - so it's empty rhetoric
