Rupert Murdoch’s Sun made the most open threat to civil liberties, making a call that will surely concern Asian communities: "Britain is crawling with suspected terrorists and those who give them succour. The Government must act without delay, round up this enemy in our midst and lock them in internment camps. Our safety must not play second fiddle to their supposed ‘rights.’ "

Uh.
All humans are equal, but some humans are more equal than others.
I wouldn’t have expected anything less from the S*n.
It’s always nice to discuss removing rights when it’s “their” rights we’re talking about. Where does the S*n suggest we draw the line? Shall we scoop up all the Irish just in case Northern Ireland kicks off again? we’ve got a fair few Koreans over here as well, lets stick them in the camps in case they like North Korea. Those dastardly Spanish might be ETA sympathisers so we’ll add them. There’s a Welsh Separatist movement, so we’d better intern them. The Scottish National Party hasn’t done anything yet, but frankly, I just don’t trust them.
Of course he only wants to sacrifice someone else’s liberties, but if you want to suggest that we tie Rupert Murdoch up in a bag full of vipers, I’ll support that :).
OH NO SOME PEOPLE GOT BOMBED, QUICK RETROACTIVE WORTHLESS PROTECTION!
It’s a shame that everyone got complacent, but more people are going to die, it’s going to be a fucking drag. Retardation isn’t going to stop these deaths. Grow up, you’re living in a world where someone wants to blow you up, you’re going to get blown up, throw a party before you get blown up.
Can’t we give these guys Palestine or whatever they want so we can get back to that guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime?
Ok. This is going too far. Not the internment camp idea, which is another flavor of stupid altogether, but this S*n thing.
I mean really, what does that accomplish? Womyn makes sense, it takes out the “man.” Amerikkka makes sense, it puts a hated organization into a country’s name. M$ for microsoft, etc.
What are you trying to say, that the Sun is actually a bunch of filthy asterisks? That they aren’t good enough for the letter “u”? That they aren’t “un”? Wouldn’t that be positive?
Jesus. Let’s curtail this sort of thing before it goes to far. Anywhat, that’s my .5$, IMHO, FWIW. TTFN, FAG.

Some people are such fcking dumbsses.

Not only that, but they also won’t get either. Locking people up without due cause does not make you safer, but it surely removes freedom, makes enemies, promotes racism, and costs money to boot.
Ah! So the point is to treat the word “Sun” like an internet censored profanity? Sorry I didn’t pick up on that, how dense I must be. :roll:

Bingo. It’s a Liverpool thing, we don’t buy it, we don’t mention it by name and we still don’t forgive it.
Maybe it’s turned out to be a bastion of quality journalism and informed opinion in the 16 or so years since I last read it, but I doubt it somehow.
You mean like stationing at least two police officers at every medium-or-bigger railway station in the whole of Greater London, to stand around doing literally nothing except watching the commuters commute? Tick.
Think of the overtime!
Yes, Nellie, the Sun’s reaction to the Hillsborough disaster was kind of similar in that disgusting way that only the Murdoch and the Sun editors know best. Headlines about how the people of Liverpool were pissing on dying and stealing from the dead, which they totally made up to sell more newspapers, was dispicable, but very typical.

Fuck, I hope the terrorists invade a computer system soon. Once I get my BA I could be HOT FUCKIN PROPERTY!
