If he is after serial web pirates then have more than one download going at a time and you're safe - simples.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

These labour people really don't want to win the election next year, do they?
