There is also the disparity with Scotland which is usually explained away by saying that it is a "devolved matter."<br /><br />No right-thinking person supports some of the posts on Fitwatch and I do not condone those sites which have repeated what Fitwatch said. I made all that clear in the post.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the Police have to have a legal basis for any action. Whilst I cannot be sure, I suspect that they made a request to the ISP which was more than happy to comply given that the conditions of use relating to websites usually forbid use of the website for illegal purposes. Those seeking a website host usually agree to the conditions of use at the outset by clicking "I agree."

I will not go into detail but the crucial point is that University Education will be free at the point of receipt (just like the NHS) both in respect of fees and living expenses. Money will be paid direct to providers. Pay back will be by a particularly progressive form of graduate tax over max 30 years. The alternative source of funding mooted is a lifetime graduate tax - no one says that that tax liability will discourage poor students. Why not?<br />On the Fitwatch issue, there were posts on the site encouraging the destruction of evidence of criminal offences. Attempting to pervert the course of justice? Even worse, a possible conspiracy to pervert the course of justice involving the site itself as a conspirator. No wonder this post was removed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
