His name is mike sexton and he is a park warden who has been off work for months saying he has a bad back, but while on sick he has been moonlighting for hull kingston rovers rugby club as a commentry person, and as a bouncer at a night club called spiders.

I’m told his boss even has a copy of the dvds filmed on the days he was moonlighting at the club and wont do anything.

someone needs to do something about this, but who do i complain to?

So why no charge of “Anti Germanism”? Where are the vocal supporters of Germany, ready to expose “fashionable” ( all anti Americanism is apparently “fashionable” & completely unfounded ) anti German sentiment, when the people of Britain routinely describe Germans as humourless Nazis?

The majority of so called Anti Americanism is a combination of popular prejudice ( Americans are arrogant, greedy, conceited, stupid, insular, war mongering, loud, etc. ) & valid criticism of American politics, specifically their ruinous foreign policy.

Of course, the response of most Americans is to level a charge of envy & reply by describing its critics as “commies”, “lefties”, “terrorist sympathisers”, etc.

The fact is the USA is a law unto itself. Whilst it is acceptable to describe Germans in largely negative terms, Swedes as sex maniacs, Belgians as boring, Scots as mean & violent, Welsh as sheep shagging simpletons…to even hint that America & its inhabitants are anything less than the greatest people on Earth in “the greatest country on Earth” is leftist commy rhetoric.

I’m quite comfortable criticising the US, given that it is, without question, the most amoral, violent, hypocritical nation on Earth & its citizens are as tedious & insecure a people as you might find.

PHORM, whatever its alleged technical spec, or alleged limitations, is just the thin end of the wedge. The intention of the British Government is clear: it will use a variation of the PHORM technology to monitor everything, it can even change content and effectively censor the entire Internet. That is why PHORM will go ahead despite its alleged infringement of the data Protection Directives, that is why any objectors will be discredited as crackpots, and that is why the Information Commissioner has been instructed by the Home Office to do nothing about the breaches of the Data Protection Act.

The finer details as to the PHORM technology and the financial arrangements between ISPs and advertisers is irrelevant. In any event only a handful of people will know the full facts, and you and I are not in that cadre I’m afraid. Our arguments are based on impressions, what we’ve read and heard. In other words guesswork.

Equipment which will not be installed in all the telephone exchanges, that would be a highly costly and inefficient system, rather at BT’s internet hub.

These are all basic facts about Phorm that are on the Internet for all to discover. I distrust and dislike the Phorm company, their history could hardly be worse and BT’s secret trials were unethical and illegal.

But if you’re going to argue the case against Phorm at least get your facts straight. Otherwise you’ll just add to the weight of their arguments when they can point at detractors like you and denounce you as mistaken crackpots.
