Did you know ... Stephen Fry has founded a tech startup?

Re: "exists merely to be nasty."

That was the old Reg. The new one is all about Global Cultural Touchstones, which I think Mr Fry surely must be. Watch out, Andrew!

Arm-twisting wasn't so bad on this one. The one we had trouble with was this:

Published it anyway of course.

Revealed: GCHQ's beyond top secret Middle Eastern internet spy base

Re: Re: KUDOS

There is also the small issue that nobody else in the media (Guardian, Indy on down) had enough guts to publish it. If those guys didn't, the chance of the Statesman doing so? Slim. But we were up for it.

Marine!? Splutter

How dare you sir. Actually I was RN (clearance diver by trade, insert your comment on relative insanity vis-a-vis paras, bootnecks etc here). But I did have the fulfilling experience of doing the all-arms course at one point, complete with fluffy bunny murder.

Re: Re: Why did we publish this?

Never did proper E&E complete with resistance-to-interrogation training, no, but we did get a cut down version of it on the commando course. Hopefully not super useful in this situation: the main thing I can remember is the procedure for making a tasty dinner out of a live rabbit.

Why did we publish this?

The government have made it plain that in their view not only foreign powers (ie probably Russia and others) have full access to the Snowden leaks, but quite possibly "non state actors" also. In other words the only people who don't know this are the general public.

And given the colossal automated penetration that NSA/GCHQ are achieving worldwide without anybody being much the wiser, it seemed to us that the public should know - as there's no further intelligence hit for UK.gov to take, by its own analysis.

He told us everything - but that was not a naive thing to do, at all. We like cunning plans much more than unsolicited freelance pitches.

But, Jamie - I thought you weren't going to read us any more! Let alone give us free content like this. Nonetheless point noted.

However the stats and analysis of the bits of site people mouse over, click through etc seem very clear that there are an awful lot of readers who like such stuff. As ever, not many people are motivated to write in by liking things, and still fewer if they would have to admit to being attracted by pictures of naked ladies.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but one of the main culprits behind these egregious headlines and pics happens to be an attractive young woman herself.

All those years as an EOD operator and mine clearance diver ... but I'm frightened of internet gobshites? That'll be the day. I just don't like having rude little twerps like you scrawling personally insulting graffiti at the foot of my articles.

Anyway, you're zapped for using a spurious email address. Cheerio
