Paris Style Atrocity Coming Our Way
// Al-Qaeda is planning a Paris-style terrorist atrocity against Britain, according to the head of MI5.
They include plans to blow up a passenger jet; Mumbai-style shootings in crowded places; or even hit-and-run attacks using vehicles.
MI5 officers have increased surveillance of British fanatics who they fear may launch copycat attacks. Intelligence has shown that the Syrian arm of a resurgent al-Qaeda is planning similar outrages against the UK, possibly by British jihadists who have already returned from fighting in Syria or Iraq. //
And it TalkTalk and Plusnet's fault
// It is feared that a lack of cooperation from internet companies means that there is a risk of terrorists slipping through the net because MI5 cannot track them.
Mr Parker warned that terrorists may soon be able “to operate beyond our reach” as he renewed calls for enhanced access to digital communications. //

// Natural evolution of language really...// ed
very very interesting question Ed - Darwin wrote quite alot on this we dont now read as ... language change doesnt follow Darwinian principles and he may have realised this at the end.
and so yes language may change with time, but does not evolve ( a/c to the usual principles )

There's a difference between being allowed to say certain things, and being allowed to say such things free from criticism. I think a lot of people miss this subtlety. Freedom of speech means that one should, in principle, be free to say whatever one likes. But, equally, people should then be free to counter what others say if it's perceived to be offensive. This doesn't curtail freedom of speech, if done properly. No-one has been stopped from saying what they like, everyone has said what they want to.
Ideally the conversation would over time involve so that fewer people feel a need to say things that are blatantly offensive or prejudiced or otherwise show a lack of imagination, but that should happen naturally rather than by censorship. Still, censorship and criticism are very different things and shouldn't be confused with each other.

calm calm everybody. Andrew Parker, head of MI5, has reassured us that of the 600 home grown extremists that went off to Syria his officials are keeping tabs on them and, actually, 300 have already returned to the UK.
I seem to recall a home grown male Islamist answering terrorist charges at a magistrates court last year. He walked out before sentencing in that tactical camouflage kit that they are permitted to wear. A burka!! Those tabs were so leaky that he managed to flee abroad.
It is about time that, although our Queen is defender of the faith, NO religion can reign supreme in this country.
It seems are security was taken more seriously 74 years ago when DORA (The Defence of the Realm Act) was introduced. These 300 scum who already returned to this country would of been interned along with their complicit families.
Rest assured and sleep well and pray no members of your family are "taken out" by one of the 300 who Mr Parker has his beady eyes on but allows to roam free.

// free speech - does this only apply to remarks made against religion or can we now feel free to make use of words that have over recent years been removed from the English language. //
How can you remove words from the English language? I am pretty sure they are still there. You are free to use as many insulting words as you like, but people will probably figure that your opinion isn't worth listening to if it is full of name calling.
The English language is the same, just the rules of debate have changed over time. Taking one of your favourite terms as an example, referring to black people as 'savages' might have been acceptable 80 years ago, but now looks ignorant and offensive. Of course you are free to use the word 'savage', but you will find people will attack you as the messenger because of that word. If you genuinely want to debate, you should try to use a different word. That is not an attack on your free speech, it is a reminder that you are debating with a diverse audience and not your mates down the at the RAF Association.
