Rediscovering H2G2 is such an education...
BBC - h2g2 - Jai-Alai - the World's Fastest Sport:
"Players are not allowed to argue with the referees. In fact, if a player even looks at a referee after a call is made against him, he is fined $25 on the spot, and if he says anything to a referee, it's a $150 fine. Some other sports could do with an equivalent rule..."
H2G2 is on online collection of information put together by interested parties on *anything*.

Blunkett plans tougher terror laws
BBC NEWS | Politics | Blunkett plans tougher terror laws:
"He proposes lowering the burden of proof required by a court so that suspects could be put on trial before they mounted an attack.
His plans, revealed on his six-day trip to India, also include keeping sensitive evidence from defendants and secret trials before vetted judges.
But civil rights groups have condemned the proposals as 'wholly unacceptable'. "
Scary scary shit.
No evidence, vetted judges, imprisoned without trial. Isn't this why the Government went after Saddam?
Scary shit, vote anything but Labour.
