I can believe some satyrical site of yours has been attacked, but very doubtful about that being governmental action, some agency budgeted to hire programmers just to harrass sites like yours.

You HAVE noticed, have you not, that "they" got elected? The reason I point this out is to remind you that means a significant number of people voted for them. Presumably among those partisans were some who like to waste as much time on the Internet as we do > Most likely some Internet junky who like myself knows how to program but is politically on the other side from you.

Persistence in thinking it's "them" without evidence would be "delusions of grandeur"

I am reflective on the sudden flurry of increases in cyberwar funding in both the Uk and the US and it may be that I am touching a nerve... and seeing as Carlyle Group now owns a third of the privatised MoD, I am very suspicious indeed of any agenda they hold.

But it is more likely as you say, a person on the other side of the political spectrum messing around or even a script kiddie cranking just for the sake of it.

I am a British citizen, at no point did I agree, sign up for or even endorse the invasion of my privacy by the US, it is not that I am anti US or not, I believe that a country should protect its citizens privacy and interests and NOT sell my details to companies that do not have my interests at heart and would maybe at some instance use them against me... However, I am not just a comedic webmaster, having been under several surveillances already and honoured to be the subject of a cabinet investigation under Sir Nicholas Chambers QC no less, it annoys them like hell when I tell them that I know that they know that I know... ;)

Luckily, I have some experience of this as a former soldier of "special" note and I think the time is coming when the line will be drawn here in the UK. Follow Germnay's progress from 1933 to 1939, examine Hitlers enablement act of '33 and then look at Blairs CCA, act for act, Blair is following the same path as Hitler did in the early thirties, look at the orange jumpsuits issue, it is simple labelling, what difference is there to the orange jumpsuit or the yellow star of david badges? At the end it is visible labelling which leads to declassification of the peer group in question and they start to be seen as "untermensch"
