Ah, the BBC. I listen from time to time to the World Service. It has some good stuff when it is not political....but I just heard on the BBC World Service on the topic of the Wikileaks CIA hacking - after presenting the facts pretty neutrally, they had an 'expert' on and asked him some questions. The kicker was when he was asked if people would now be more wary to use their TVs, phones, cars, computers etc....to which he said 'in Received English', "They will soon get used to the fact that in exchange for being able to purchase these products, there is always the possibility they will be monitored". ::coffeesplutter::
