There is no blip, soundbite, sound of dismay, groan, wail, scream, or shout that could adequately display my shock, revulsion, and anger at this. Did the UK learn nothing from Egypt? England is not the Middle East, but our populations are not that much different. We have the same concerns, same needs, same anger at those in the position to take away our rights, all the in name of saving money, making a profit, keeping your families safe. How does this help keep us safe? Is the illusion of safety worth this restriction?
Egypt tried and failed at culling the firestorm that can be summoned by social networking sites. The "developed" countries called upon Egypt to end its restriction against Internet usage. Now, when it's the UK, will we make the same cry? Or will we turn a blind eye, because now it's our families whose businesses, lives, and schools are affected?

How quickly we forget, especially when convenient to do so.
