    It’s ok – if you’re looking for a really good podcast check out hunting warhead, the subject matter is difficult but i highly recommend. Hackers hacking hackers to bring down the worlds biggest pedofile ring on the dark net.

    I was 4 when this story broke and i can still remember my then teenaged sisters crying at the TV watching it.

    Doors chained shut is a horrifying thought, but in the context of that time, not so starnge. Health and safety as we know it now didn’t exist.

    I was at a festival back in October, a complete idiot decided to throw a lighted cigarette up on top of a marquee with a lot of young people in it. No-one saw it happen, but there were only young people there and the next day the marquee company, who were taking it down, called me over on-site to see it. They wanted a witness to the damage it caused, so they could rightfully be compensated for the damage. Right over the marquee, which was on a sports ground, were CCTV cameras that would have very likey captured the incident. I asked the marquee company to report it to cops, who I think would have pursued it given the oppurtunity, but they said no as it would have impacted their working relationship with the sports ground. So the arsehole in question got away scot free.
