"paedophile MPs?"

(From Franke Boyle, but I can't find the tweet at the moment.)

How do these people not understand that when they say "we lost the files" the public hears "we definitely did it, and we're probably still doing it."

The tory party is now surely the baby-raping party in the minds of everyone who read about that investigation and the "lost" files.

TBF not much change there.

The truth of course it that lots of MPs do understand how people interpret this kind of thing. Truth is, most MPs are intelligent, reasonable people. Sadly they are often judged for the actions of the few reprehensible MPs that more often than not make it to the front benches.

You've got to love Frankie Boyle for saying it how it is.

I suspect that the timing of this isn't coincidental as well on the basis that:

1. It was just after the allegations of these files being lost was made (5th July)

2. Everyone's going on holiday soon (22nd July) so apathy is at a high.

Not impressed!

It was a response to David Cameron's tweet.

From a mass civil uprising against the increasingly fascistic tack taken by Our Glorious Leaders.

Online abuse of children (Yvette Cooper)

Criminals and terrorists (Sir Richard Ottaway)

Pedophiles; radicals; criminals; terrorists; industrial, military and state criminal exploitation of communications networks, espionage organised criminal gangs; the threat from all sorts of criminals whose work is made easier by cyber-technology. (Theresa May) [1]

Basically, everything, because of how broad the act is.

Surely the straightforward way to eliminate the child abusers, terrorists, and criminals would be to just arrest the entirety of lords and commons?

Paedophiles and terrorists, apparently.

From the BBC's coverage of the announcement yesterday: "PM asks if we want paedophiles and extremists to communicate without it being possible to intercept communications".

From PM and deputy PM throwing a tantrum, of course.
