As long as what is leaked out? The contents of whatever it is that has been listened into or the fact that they are having their communications tapped? And surely if things get leaked out then the gaff gets blown on the fact that someone, somewhere, is listening in? Advantageous to whom? And who does the leaking? Since when have the leaders of western european countries posed a threat to ...
So, if you agree that they are not terrorists why then have they had their phones and other forms of communication listened into? And I do wonder just how much the dirty tricks brigade are now up to their er..........dirty tricks. Black ops I think the spooks call it. (Anyone else remember that really great tv programme Spooks and all the things they got up to?)

It's an extract from the website page of our MP concerning housing and planning. Is it me or is there a contradiction between her acknowledging there is a housing problem in this area but then at the same ...
Just thought it an appropriate discussion topic.............
Nothing wrong with my reading Burnside. As I said, eye of the beholder and all that. I gather the first nuclear power plant to be built under this scheme will be at Hinkley Point - just up the road as it were. Joint project between the Chinese and EDF.
That doesn't read to me as The Mail being outraged. I read the Telegraph piece as well. Can't see any outrage there either. Can only assume that outrage must be in the eye of the beholder, or, as in this case, the reader. @burneside - could you throw some light (what a pun!) on this question please. " Why is it okay for us to have a totalitarian state buy into (control?) our nuclear ...
