  • Obviously a bit daft to generalise about any musical genre but if I were to pick one with a higher number of capably violent people I'd say Streetpunk (also known as oi) and if I had to pick a second it would be hardcore punk.

  • I agree it's a global and concerted effort but just because they are all banging on about porn and using it as the Trojan horse, this isn't about porn or nudity or sex.

    You remember when 'Arab Spring' happened? And all the usual suspects said how great it was and that the internet had a democratising influence? The were welcoming the changes in the Arab world but saw the true power of the unmediated internet in those coordinated protests and vowed they'd never let it happen to them.

    Within five years we're going to see gigantic walled gardens where people can only sign in using their given name and confirming by a passport or driving license. We can already see sites where you have to use a OTP or authenticator code on a smart phone to sign in. Extrapolating your identity from that info is trivial.

    I think there will be another internet available only by using other protocols but it will be forever looked down upon and payment providers will not service any monetisation there.

  • I think you underestimate the powerful voodoo that the mere mention of Suez exercises over the British Conservative imagination. It marks the point at which the transition between being a superpower and not was really driven home to them.

  • Brandy is your friend. Well, for one night it's your friend and the next day you'll feel awful but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing it was self inflicted rather than some poxy self-replicator making you feel bad.
