Ever watch the film ‘Enemy of the State’? Almost 450,000 requests were made to monitor people’s telephone calls, e-mails and post by secret agencies and other authorised bodies in just over a year, the spying watchdog said yesterday. » Times Article Should you be scared? Well yeah, if your brown, Muslim or Brazilian looking I’d watch my back. That’s not actually a joke, you see people often rant about the so-called monitoring that people are subject to, and honestly, we usually ignore it. When it comes to your community then you realise that perhaps its time to start...

Manufacturer: Philips Model: MCM760/05 Micro Hi-Fi System Price: £135-£180 (Purchased for £140 from HomeCinemaTV) Rating: Demo Purchase Motivations? Here’s my predicament. I don’t have enough space in my bedroom for a PC (and I can’t do with the temptation!) so what do I do for music en mi dormitorio? Ok lets look at what I do have: 1. PDA (HP iPaq rx3715 wireless enabled, 2GB SD) 2. iPod (4th Gen 40GB) 3. W810i Walkman phone (built in radio, 2x512MB Memory Stick Duo) So I’d be listening to music mainly on my HP Bluetooth headphones with my iPaq, or with earphones...

Author: Moazzam Begg assisted by Victoria Brittain Publisher: Free Press (27 Feb 2006) My Rating: 5/5 Enemy Combatant: A British Muslim’s Journey to Guantanamo and Back   Review When I was in Year 10 in January 2005 I did a presentation to my English class on the indefinite detention of potentially innocent human beings in Gunatanamo Bay. Handing out some of the few pictures actually available from the media and articles describing the horrific events that took place in Guantanamo to the class showed some interest, in particular a cutting from a newspaper highlighting the release of...

Well, the summer’s finished. I can’t believe that my 2 month and 20 day holiday finished so quickly! I wrote about how chuffed I was about finishing and probably more importantly my plans for the longest holiday you get in your school life. Well, let’s analyze my list: Get a job? Yes, I got a job. I got the job right at the beginning of the holiday as a customer service agent at Sky, or at least that’s what they told me. Turns out the company I was working for were a bunch of liars and it was actually a sales position. Still it was okay as it was inbound (people calling...

No – it doesn’t, but believe me thats what the media would twist this into (especially if words like Islam, Abdul or Osama were involved). Honestly if this happened to me I would probably be in Guantanamo. Read the story about how a world of warcraft geek got a taste of being a Muslim on an Aeroplane here! – Thanks Tibault.

Blah, I might as well post again seeing as I’ve got nothing else to do Saturday night…   Lebanon George Galloway hit the nail on the head. The media is preposterous, in the way it presents its news, its questions and its bias views (hey that rhymes). People are finally realising that not everything Sky News tells them is true, but more importantly, the truth is being slowly revealed (note slowly). Honestly the picture looks so clear from this side, sometimes it seems weird that people could look at some situations in a different light altogether (i.e. Israel is the victim in every...

For those of you who haven’t watched Galloway ripping the hell out of a Sky News reporter about the situation in Lebanon, I’ve uploaded it to YSE. We should be eternally thankful that there is at least one known politician out there defending the truth whilst the rest of them sit and support the propagandist media defending the real terrorists in this world.
