    To a degree this is no realy surprise, Goverments around the world have always used the " press " to put a angle on certain things they want to do, in war's its called propaganda ( i guess it still called it out of war time )
    I hope you check all the packaging for government installed camera before it goes out.

    I don't think Bryndon is advocating anything of the sort. He's not arguing that these people should be prohibited from publishing whatever they want. He's just saying that much of what they print falls down at any degree of scrutiny.

    We don't have to agree with the thoughts of others. We're not required to read them. I don't object to thinking which, shall we say, falls outside of the mainstream norms. Like Christopher Hitchens, I do defend my right to be able to read those thoughts, and decide for myself.

    There are still, of course, very many positive virtues to living within the UK but it can always been improved and I do have real concerns that rights that people have fought so hard for are gradually being eroded. Our political system, as well as Britain's role in the world, needs to be significantly re-evaluated in the coming years as the route we are going down is a worrying one.

    A very valid point. Which worryingly on here appears to be beyond the comprehension of more than just a few.

A sickening claim in itself, not to mention hurtful to friends and family of the young man. Within about a minute of the video claiming this hoax, the two guys in it (who as someone pointed out could loosely fall under the midde age loser category) raise suspicion that the defendants in the case had similar names and express how strange they find it that the attack happened at 2.20pm because one of the suspects was aged 22. You can actually sense the fear and paranoia they must feel. The video later goes on with ridiculous captions about how blood on the defendants hands disappears therefore it must have been graphically added by the broadcasters - this caption appears when the defendant turns his palms to the ground. It's just loaded with nonsense that any sane person could see through.
    I remember seeing a debate with Christopher Hitchens were he wouldn't even debate with a conspiracy theorist and had him thrown out. He was livid. Christopher Hitchens wouldn't give you the time of day I'm afraid.

    I mean, it really beggars belief that there are people out there that invest so much time in taking this stuff seriously. Common sense is enough to know that in todays day and age such a 'goverment hoax' would be completely impractical for a start. Any one person with proof of this 'hoax' could destroy it in seconds with a simple tweet. But that is not enough for people who are essentially mentally ill, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. I just wish these people would either seek help here or move abroad to a country they trust more. But i suspect they believe the health services are all 'in on it' too.
    He wouldn't give anyone the time of day now, would he?

    Makes not a scrap of difference. It was a pre-conceived confused opinion based on nothing at all. Hell, I wouldn't have answered the bum, never mind Hitchens.

    Yep. It's more like an obsession with anything that goes against the grain. Hard to take someone seriously when they've posted such ridiculous links.

    Making disparaging remarks, sweeping generalisations, personal slurs do nothing to advance your arguments. They merely serve to minimise them and call them into question.
