Yeah It's a Bad Headache When

You start seeing sounds. But I enjoyed myself and that's the main thing.

In Britain today (5/7/11) the phone hacking/murder story has gathered pace and developed. Basically anyone whose anyone has gone on TV declaring that they've had their phone hacked and the Guardian newspaper is trying to turn the private investigator, Glen Mulcaire, who has been at the centre of the story into the new Mark Kennedy/Stone climate camp undercover police officer. The main development though is that it has been announced that the News of the World newspaper also hacked into the phones of the relatives of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, the young girls who were murdered by Ian Huntley in Soham in 2002.

This has prompted an emergency debate in the House of Commons to be held tomorrow (6/7/11). This should be an exciting one because on one side we have the Conservative Party who will be trying to work out if one of their health ministers is in fact a murderer. On the other there will be the Labour Party who passed the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 which grants the power to hack into everyone's land line telephone, mobile telephone, emails and Internet history to all forms of government right down to lowly local councils for "crimes" such as putting your garbage bin out on the wrong day.

Personally I'll be trying to get around to that Syria thing because did I mention how disappointed I am?
