Recently on Reddit the UK got a lot of lack for 6 men being arrested and charged for remarks they made on facebook. What are your feelings on what happened? Do you feel differently as a Brit?

This is the UK, we do not have free speech laws.

Repulsive stupid person person says something repulsive on a low budget show watched largely by people who forgot to turn their tv off when tidying the house in the morning.

If you continue to get annoyed watching stupid people make stupid comments, they will just put more stupid people on to annoy you. In that way, you spread the story and watch the show to get annoyed.

FOX News UK here we come.

Bullshit, the Major government proposed stronger laws on media ownership (Virginia Bottomley was the Secretary of State), Blair promised to oppose those laws in a trip to see Murdoch on some private island, after that the Sun went full on for Blair and worked 100% to undermine "back to basics".

On the plus side up until the last couple of weeks it was rain free enough that we're in a drought

Still in a drought, despite weeks of rain.

I have very fond memories of Cornish Pastys

Controversial now as the Chancellor just whacked on a 20% vat rate on pasties. Now known as the pasty tax.

heck, there have been reports of droughts across the country, then suddenly it rains non-stop for the past two weeks.

It is of course the wrong type of rain, so we are still in a drought, just a very wet rain filled drought.

TLDR: Get used to wrong types of rain and snow.

This is a tiny tiny step. Mitt is using this as THE issue to separate himself from the GOP Teahadists in the House. Yes this is important for students but they are a small population compared to the millions who will face the worst of GOP "austerity". Romney remains 100% behind the Ryan plan, tax hikes and benefit cuts for you. Multi $million tax cuts for his Wall Street pals.

May I refer you to right-wing paranoia about George Soros? I'd also like to refer you to right-wing paranoia about Saul Alinsky and his book "rules for radicals".

Add in birthers, tea-party types who want "government out of their medicare" or those who believe Obama raised their taxes.

Your group is one that is easily persuaded by conspiracy theories.

If you want people to take your argument seriously then dont use words like "sociopaths" and such. It makes you sound like a crazy person who has no grip of reality.

A Republican?

Sad, I hope he gets called on it. I doubt he will the other GOP frontrunners are probably thinking why didn't they do it.

Being informed is not a voter requirement, if it was the GOP would not survive.

When was possession of Photo ID made a legal requirement in the US?

None of the above, aware of the facts:

Yes millions, stop being a GOP apologist.

More than 10 percent of U.S. citizens lack such identification, and the numbers are even higher among constituencies that traditionally lean Democratic – including 18 percent of young voters and 25 percent of African-Americans.

FAIL; Read the article:

Just as Dixiecrats once used poll taxes and literacy tests to bar black Southerners from voting, a new crop of GOP governors and state legislators has passed a series of seemingly disconnected measures that could prevent millions of students, minorities, immigrants, ex-convicts and the elderly from casting ballots. "What has happened this year is the most significant setback to voting rights in this country in a century," says Judith Browne-Dianis, who monitors barriers to voting as co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights organization based in Washington, D.C.

Look to the US and we can appreciate the lot we have are not that bad.

They are still bad but they are not all liars or scum bags just interested in money.
