If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I smell hoax. Checked snopes.com and couldn't find any info on it, pro or con.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

England has also outlawed the group Islam4UK starting form tomorrow.
I'm not normally one to be singing the praises of the USA, but in terms of liberties and privacy you set the bar pretty high.

Another thing that we now have here in England is jury-less trials. We had the fist one in 400 years start this week.

The trial Tommy's talking about is for 4 armed robbers who stole £1.75 million (most not recovered). Changes to the Criminal Justice Act that came into effect in 2007 allow for trial by judge alone in cases where there is danger that jury tampering would take place.
3 previous trials for these hoods have collapsed (!), the last for what the judge said was a 'serious attempt at jury tampering'. Seems sensible to me,in this particular case, to do this rather than have mistrial after mistrial. Also, the Crown had to to all the way to the Lord Chief Justice to get this decision, so I imagine it will remain quite rare.

There is also an iphone ap for the uk that uses your gps and lets you know when you are within sight of cctv. Not sure how well it works though.

This shouldn't last too long; there will be too many false positives. (Especially if some enterprising anarchist hands out a few hundred Groucho Marx glasses along with folding signs for the wearers to show to the camera, reading- "You won! Press the button!")

I will admit the idea is disturbing. Not sure I agree with the idea, but in public there is a lower expectation of privacy at least here in the U.S. But to slam the idea using the reason(s) that people will be watching petty criminals and people committing minor traffic offenses, pretty much every traffic offense is a misdemeanor, is pretty lame.
If all of this is true then I feel this woman’s argument does not help the anti-Orwellian cause. What the woman is saying is that it is okay to break the law and not get caught; it is okay to break the law as it is your civil right to do so. Her argument is pretty much in favor of anarchy. This is no surprise as she espouses the ideology; however, I’m not sure she actually believes what she is saying, just a gut instinct, yet she does seem to fit the anti-social/anarchist profile with her mannerisms. Peace and Godspeed.
Peace

Sure. We will go get a CCTV put in my place aimed at the poker table so you can snitch on us cheating. One point for nailing each bottom dealt and so on.
