How can you agree with me if you don't understand what I wrote Dick
The ban is about suppressing criticism - it has nothing to do with humour
The Chinese have the largest population on the planet - the idea that the establishment would even try to monitor the people with CCTV is utterly ludicrous.
Britain and the U.S. monitors the population as much as any other country does - with cameras, among other methods - both reached the situation described in 1984 around 1980, I would guess
A few years ago the Irish people were issued with a card enabling them to avail themselves to access State public health and numerous other benefits
The chip on the card carries more data information on its holder than anywhere else on the planet.
I have little doubt that our security services could tell you which hand you use to wipe your arse if you asked them nicely
Do you think that that should be "excused"/
Give us a break - one government is no better than another in these matters
