I keep wanting to vote against the Liberal Democrats but my Lib Dem MP keeps coming out with good opinions (opposed to this bill, also wrote on ending the war on drugs last week).  I'm torn.

Hopefully this bill can be stopped.

That bill is pure madness o_O

YOU WILL NOT CRITICISE THE COMPUTER THE GOVERNEMENT. THE COMPUTER GOVERNEMENT IS YOUR FRIEND.

[Leafsnail]

In its current form it probably doesn't have too much chance.  The Conservatives don't even have a majority, so the fact that quite a few of them and their coalition partners are likely to vote against it ruins its chances.  It could be saved by Labour support (and lord knows Labour isn't any better on this kind of thing than the Conservatives), but then again this is exactly the kind of bill you want to shoot down while in opposition to make the government look weak and hypocritical.

North Korea has successfully launched a satellite in orbit.

[Darvi]

Say your prayers, guys, only 9 days 'til they fire the doomsday laser.

[GlyphGryph]

While destroying it outright would be rude, we should definitely to space and spraypaint over the lens (assuming it's a camera satellite).

[JoshuaFH]

You guys sure it's not a satellite in the purely literal sense? Meaning, just a big metal chunk that's now orbiting the Earth?

[Nadaka]

As bad as NKorea is, how does their launching a satellite fit into the progressive thread?

Something that 50 years ago, only the two richest, most powerful countries on earth could do... Is now being done by one of the poorest, backwards countries on earth.

I love living in the 21st century.

They can only do it because their people are slaves.

Anyway, I'm giving it a few months before their satellite fails, at the most.

Not bothering to feed your people frees up funds for a space programme.

[Descan]

I'm not saying it's awesome how they're doing it.

Just that it's even possible...

Now that Kim Jong Un has a satellite, all the 3rd World dictators are going to want one. Mugabe, Chavez, Castro, ummm...that guy in Belarus?

Dang, the last few years have seriously depleted the "Colorful 3rd World Dictator" pool.

Even if it fails, it still means that North Korea is slowly but surely getting closer and closer to having ICBMs.
North Koreans still have to overcome technical problems and develop a proper nuclear warhead, but they're working on it, that's for sure.

"that guy in Belarus" already has one satellite in orbit.
