Unfortunately we are reaching the tipping point very rapidly here in the UK and its time the authorities realised this including the PTB..... history shows the hard lessons that obviously have been forgotten.... that when the average UK person has had enough they WILL TURN .... have no doubts about it.... it is this Good or Bad side of the true Brit's nature that created an empire.....which was eroded by elitist greed as is happening across the world yet again at the expense of the average guy.

It could be the remnants of the ROMAN blood line.... surfacing again....

Not something to be proud of unfortunately....

That last line muzz - "shut it down" nearly had ME reaching for the pitchfork! I would be so vexed i don't know what i would do but i wouldn't stand for that.
I don't like being negative or angry these days but that really struck a chord in me.
Take away my freedom and lifeline to so many friends on different forums etc?
Grrrrr, i'm not reading this any more. Think i'll go for a walk.

Do you think this might all be part of the plan - to give the police and tbtb more powers of control?

There may well be some corruption behind it.

I work just outside Enfield north london and on my way to work driving along the M25 i could see huge plumes of black smoke in the distance, the closer i got to the smoke i thought it was where i worked!!

Forther up the motorway i drove past the building and it was the huge Sony Distribution Centre which had been looted and then petrol bombed, this warehouse is just around the corner from where I work I can still see the huge black smoke right now - If it can be done to that warehouse all businesses in the area are not safe.
