Right-click, download mp3 here. MP3 and transcript (by TRS-80, cheers!) are copyright BBC; if they object, I'm sure they'll let me know.

I'm on Channel 4 News (7pm) and More4 News tonight, possibly another thing too. HOLY CRAP. Phone melting. Work colleagues most amused. Must eat. Excuse me.

Apparently Amazon have removed the image in question from their product description.

Shit, that makes me angry. I mean, it's great for you, very well researched and expressed, etc, but blocking whole Wikipedia pages for one image they don't like? Do they even have the right to blacklist pages on the web? Looks like a lot of power in the hands of a few faceless people who're acting by their own hazy guidelines and imposing their extreme brand or morality on everyone without a second thought.

And, the hysteria is spreading.
A mate of mine, Colin Jacobs, got himself in the news again (last time, it was his comparison between the proposed Internet Filter of Australia with Iran(?)).

This isn't about pr0n; it's about extending copyright to humour/satire. I reckon we're still feeling the aftershocks of having conservative J.Ho as PM for over a decade.

You did great, and much better than the IWF spokesperson! She sounded like she was getting quite annoyed at the end (I don't recall us asking her to do this job of censoring us...), and I loved where she's pressured into saying it's right to block Amazon too.
