So, the Bill of Rights of 1689 is some kind of shared hallucination then? I heartily recommend checking your own facts before making scathing remarks regarding others' paucity of knowledge.
I personally think that all the UK ISPs are guilty of false advertising. They all advertise bandwidth that they don't actually have to sell you. They all built their business on the promises of fast downloads and rich media content. Then they bitch and moan when people actually use it to do all the things they tried to sell us on (cf all the tears about the BBC iPlayer).
Personally, I don't find it all that comforting that the only guarantee of our civil liberties is the continued incompetence of government departments. I mean, one day, they might actually get their shit together and we'll all be living in a police state.
Yeah, you're right. Never going to happen. What was I thinking?
