UK Authorities Accused of Inciting Illegal Protest

jarran writes "Questions are being asked about the tactics being employed by UK authorities to monitor and control protest groups. Schnews reports on evidence that government IP addresses are posting messages to sites like indymedia, attempting to provoke activists into taking illegal direct action. Evidence has emerged recently that the police consider sex to be a legitimate tool for extracting information from targets, and senior police have been accused of lying to parliament about the deployment of undercover agents at protests."

    If its about that guy who was embedded in UK environmental organisations then I don't think he had to be having sex to be involved. Either that or I never got invited to the right demonstrations.

  3. Death or Unga-bunga! by Chas · · Score: 4, Funny

    Two explorers stumble upon a primitive tribe and somehow manage to offend them.

    They're taken before the chief and he gives them the choice of death or "unga-bunga".

    The first chooses unga-bunga. He is promptly raped by all the men in the tribe.

    When given his choice, the second chooses death.

    The chief smiles and pronounces sentence "Death by unga-bunga!"
