Debate Postponed On UK RIP Act Amendment

Harry Morgan writes: " The UK Government has postponed debate on, The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data: Additional Public Authorities) Order 2002 which is their attempt to expand the number of organisations entitled to demand communications data under the original RIP act, until Tuesday 18th June. For anyone who feels strongly about this, now is the time to do something about it. You can fax your Member of Parliament from stand.org.uk a site which gives comprehensive information about the order and the original act. "

    We can't RIP (rest in peace) until the RIP act is dead, and we better let it RIP after we RIP it to shreds otherwise it'll probably come back and RIP our privacy apart.

    Fax your letter to your MP to tell them you'll RIP your ballot if they don't RIP the act apart!

    RIP RIP to shreds!

  3. What do you expect from a Left Wing government by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Funny

    Ha Ha...

    Growing up in the 80s and 90s where we were brainwashed into thinking right-wing equals evil, left-wing equals cool and trendy.

    Now look - the left-wing obsession with control-freakery and the surveillance of it's citizens now becomes apparent.

    I've decided to become a black, lesbian woman.

    Right On!
