Nice one BT...

Sex offender downloads child pr0n to get back into prison

They check your laptop if you're a paedo? So they should just use live linux CDs and they'll be safe. Nice one, police.

ISPs told to keep filesharer naughty list

Eh?

Why would it affect the next occupiers of a property, exactly?

£15 a month for legal P2P?

Hrrm...

Spend 15 quid a month on this "legal p2p" with the restrictions that go along with it, be it selection, devices you can use or watch it on or whatever?

Or spend 15 quid a month on a seedbox, usenet subscription etc, and do all your p2p "in the cloud"?

Cameron aims to bring LibDems into government

Knowing the facts fail

In the case of Sheffield, they got to the stations in plenty of time. 2hrs+ before the polls closed, in most cases. Some were made to queue for 3 hours, while watching "residents" jump the queue.

I'd say the polling station hadn't prepared for the influx, but they knew how many had registered, so knew how many to prepare for. That and the fact that only the young were made to wait, with residents fast-tracked, isn't people (apart from those in charge) being idiots. It's discrimination. Idiot.
