quote: "We had a number of different excuses as to why we weren't given the footage, like they didn't have the footage. They delete after a certain amount of time, so if they procrastinate for long enough, they can claim it's been deleted," Mr Churnside said. Or maybe they do delete these recordings after a set time as there is limited storage capacity. The mind boggles as to why people play the 'oh what a great big conspiracy' number. Funny it occurred to me recently that the national television service in china is called CCTV.

Only in Britain will people use state repression so blatantly to their own advantage.

And the irony of it all is that Orwell was British. He must be rolling in his grave these days....

The nice thing in the United Kingdom is that the people aren't nearly as scared of their own police as elsewhere.
