AnotherDayInTheEmpire: "In order to fight against 'anti-social behavior' in Britain, the police force is considering using unmanned aerial surveillance drones, according to Breitbart. The police force for Merseyside, in western England, has formed a new Anti-Social Behaviour Task Force which will have a budget of one million pounds (1.85 million dollars, 1.5 million euros), and a staff of 137, drawn from both the local police and fire services.
In order to make sure nobody climbs a tree or posts a flier (known as flyposting in England), drones will be dispatched, never mind the cost."
BBC: "Police have played down reports that spy planes could be flown high above the streets of Merseyside as a way to fight anti-social behaviour."
The boys in power love airplanes. They are willing to close hospitals (and cause some extra pollution) just to be able to play with their planes. Phony Bliar is probably a big Biggles fan.
Independent: "The inevitable head-on collision between Britain's climate change and aviation policies moves a step closer today with figures showing the total distance flown by the Government's own ministers and senior officials last year alone is equivalent to 14 return trips to the Moon."

Robert Fisk: "This has been a bad week for Holocaust deniers. I'm talking about those who wilfully lie about the 1915 genocide of 1.5 million Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Turks. On Thursday, France's lower house of parliament approved a Bill making it a crime to deny that Armenians suffered genocide. And, within an hour, Turkey's most celebrated writer, Orhan Pamuk - only recently cleared by a Turkish court for insulting 'Turkishness' (sic) by telling a Swiss newspaper that nobody in Turkey dared mention the Armenian massacres - won the Nobel Prize for Literature. In the mass graves below the deserts of Syria and beneath the soil of southern Turkey, a few souls may have been comforted."
