He wouldn’t tell me, saying that […]

“Oh, please. Have a slightly longer memory than four weeks.” - George Galloway, a British MP
The video.
What do you believe? A brilliant, brilliant discussion. A must, must watch. A media bias exposed. A word of thanks to Husain (some of you might remember him as the Kafka obsessed fellow from FLS) for sending this over.

Please post this on your blog, email and spread the word. The Right to Information Act might be amended to suit the needs of politicians, and we need to spread awareness and prevent a repeat of what they did with the Office of Profit and Delhi Demolitions issues. I’ve made important portions bold, so you […]
If news reports are to be believed, the list issued by the government contained those sites that they considered propagandist; some wrote against the Government, Islam and Christianity.
