So I Do Need To Explain.

Back in April 2011 a collective of computer hackers describing themselves as "LulzSecurity" hacked a number of websites. These include but were not limited too; the Sony online gaming service, the Microsoft online gaming service, the Nintendo online gaming service, the public webiste of America's CIA and the public website of Britain's Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). Then Sega hacked their own website to prove they've still got customers.

On Tuesday (21/6/11) Britain's Serious and Organised Crime Agency announced that they had arrested the head of the "LulzSecurity" collective. It turns out it was just a 19 year old, white, male from Essex, UK who has been officially named as Ryan Cleary. Through the many, many emotional problems that Mr Clearly suffers from it is obvious that he is weak minded individual who is therefore easily led. So it is obvious that that the LulzSecurity's hacks were actually carried out by Britain's Government Communications Head Quarters (GCHQ) along with other British espionage agencies. The primary objective of the operation was to highlight how weak computer security can be in order to open a dialogue with all nations in order to bring in tighter controls on the actual Internet following the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.

The secondary objective was to open a more specific dialouge with the Americans to explain why Britain has reduced American access to my father. The hope was to replace the Gary McKinnon hacker case. Back in 2002 Mr McKinnon hacked into the a number of the American government's private computer systems including the Pentagon - which is a much more difficult hack. The Americans issued an arrest warrant for Mr McKinnon and Britain spent the next nine years fighting the extradition on various grounds including the alleged fact that Mr McKinnon suffers from Aspergers Syndrome which is allegedly a form of Autism. The during Barack Obama's visit to Britain in May 2011 American dropped the charges against Mr McKinnon effectively saying "Actually we're not that interested." or "Britain bravely saves Gary McKinnon" as it was reported in the British media.

That aside tonight (23/6/11) I introduced my father to idea of watching DVD's on the big TV. As he does suffer from Aspergers Syndrome and is therefore very unsettled by change we started with episode one of the US (HBO) TV mini-series "The Pacific." While he was clearly impressed this does unfortunately lead onto discussions about; my grandfather (world war two Royal Marine), the 2005 Steven Spielberg film "Munich" and the Japanese earthquake. So while not exactly a comedy it was a start I suppose.

Also - as you may already know - my washing machine broke overnight. While there is no evidence of sabotage it did force my father to go out an buy a new one and meant my day started with the phrase; "Well I suppose once you start hearing it rattle it's only a matter of time."
