In a dizzying, energising and raucous return to the pamphleteering days of the 18th and 19th centuries, the people have, through the worldwide web and easy-to-use publishing software, been given a voice. They will not easily be silenced. (The 'Scotsman')

When I first joined the Army I was taught the role of Infantry was: "To seek and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize and hold ground, by day or by night regardless of weather or terrain" It didn't include that my role was to roll over and take a kicking from a self serving sensationalist media there to criticise with clinical detail every move I made on the battlefield from the comfort of a climate controlled office in order to allow them to get some middle class human rights person (on the BBC) and continue to undermine the morale of the troops.
