"The UK’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies fear the government’s anti-illegal filesharing plans will lead to a rise in encryption, scuppering their own efforts to monitor the internet, it’s claimed today."

My brain just exploded. Surely no-one can be this stupid. They’re busy suing the crap out of everyone for downloading Britney’s latest flop, which has led to (SUPRISE! NO-ONE SAW THIS ONE COMING!) a rise in encrypted file sharing. Which now apparently blows their multi-billion pound plan to “Master the Internet” [please note, actual name for the project, not a joke]. Anyone with a GCSE in Computing Science could have told them what a moronic plan it was, and now they’re all sobbing over it. Don’t even get me started on how this is meant to stop all the evil terrorists. All of this at the height of a world-wide economic crisis.

Stop the planet, I want to get off.
