That was never going to happen because, as a previous Hutton revealed
in a report, the Security Service welcome RIP having played a large
part in writing it. I did ask how big a part Liberty played in writing
it and the silence was deafening.
The whole thing is designed to obscure what is going on. As Home
Secretaries are fond of saying, they must have something to hide if
they don't answer questions about what they are doing.
Of course the people most keen not to tell us plebs what is going on
are probably the likes of British Telecom, Thus, Virgin and the rest of
them. They undoubtedly don't want their customers to know how in bed
with the forces of darkness they are and how much they are shitting on
their customers. They certainly have something to fear and so are
hiding their activities.
