It's not so much the simple suggestion of a conspiracy as it is the sheer over-the-topness of it all. Police overstepping their bounds in the UK equals "the end of any type freedom" and "global slavery"? Oh, please.


Please let me add to that.

If you have a silly canned response that is equally (not very) on any comment thread that relates to information, privacy or rights in any way you get downvoted. It's usually just trolling. Even when it isn't, it's annoying because its' a combination of grandiose claims & stupid, simplistic or non-existent support.

I think we welcome loopy conspiracy theorists, but not dumb ones.
