Hope you do like the accent of the British man. They own the English and we like them. We love the BBC and genuinely love the British. But if they allow this new man that is running that country to stay longer, they may lose their voices. David Cameron has turned out to be ineffective and simply not ready to lead the UK.
Last year or so we listened to this man via satellite in one of TED conferences. He was full of ideas. He spoke of freedom, wealth and accountability. But now he is running the show, he seems to be taking talking points from the Chinese. Can you imagine he wants to censure internet in UK if they allow him?
Yes, in an emergency session of Parliament on Thursday, the PM said that the violence, looting and arson sweeping his country “were organized via social media.” Yes, we have reported it that Blackberry and Facebook were used as tools in that. He said his government is now considering how and whether to “stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality.” How will they know, exactly?

Now, they have given the Chinese liberation. On Friday, China’s state-run Xinhua news agency published a commentary berating the man for chasticing them for Interne freedom as he said recently when he proclaimed that freedom of expression should be respected in Tahrir Square as much as in London’s Trafalgar Square. Read the people of China:
“We may wonder why Western leaders, on the one hand, tend to indiscriminately accuse other nations of monitoring, but on the other take for granted their steps to monitor and control the Internet,” Xinhua said. “For the benefit of the general public, proper Web-monitoring is legitimate and necessary.”. The spokesman of the government went to conclude: “The Chinese government’s legal management of the Internet is in line with international practice.”
Now, tell us what is the difference. It is easy to blame other nations when they have strategic interests in anything and when that comes to your side, you do the same. China is a time bomb that can explode and while censorship is not good, if the British sees such an impending danger, they may do the same. The only country that will NEVER censor the web in the world is Nigeria because they do not know how. My President will not do that but some of the governors will like to censor the web in their states!
If the British will allow Mr. Cameron to censor the web, that means we are very certain their march to Congo has just begun. Hope they vote him out of office in the next general election as his era is turning out to be overly heated.
