I had to look-up who David Cameron is (sorry), but if PM here would ask for such back-door people would show him out of the front door...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Perhaps GCHQ would like to drop all their encrypted transmissions. What's David's thoughts on that?
|
|
|
|
|
He lost his plot when he tried to raise the bar.
|
|
|
|
|
He's absolutely right, of course.
I mean, a couple of men with guns killed some people in another country, so our only possible response is to give up more of our civil liberties.
Why are you having such trouble seeing the obvious?

I assume that you fear things you don't know much about the most, so I guess he is afraid of the "plebs" or "mobile vulgus"

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You got it right - he didn't asked for a backdoor to all, only for himself!

Well, that's not really what he is saying, even though it appears so. But, as usual, a knee-jerk response tends to sound pretty silly.
|
|
|
|
|
It sounds clear...
David Cameron: "Are we going to allow a means of communications which it simply isn't possible to read? My answer to that question is: 'No, we must not.'"
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not necessarily. He may be thinking of messages in english that are so very badly written that they are impossible to read - understand.
At least in my area, when you worked enough in multinational software development teams and read some of the code comments you would really appreciate having them banned.

It's not entirely, knee jerk response.
Governments want to control message encryption to a certain degree; that is fact, not fiction.
|

|
|
True. It's WHY they want to control it that concerns me...

It's a good thing I am going to be soon releasing a piece of steganography software I have written.
The sunshines won't have a clue how files are encrypted within images, even if they get hold of the source code.

What a tit he is. Really.
The problem with the Paris incident is the failure of the French to surveil these people despite them being known affiliates of terrorists. That, was a stupid mistake to make.
|
|
|
|
|
One explanation I heard for that dropping of surveillance was to reduce expenses.

Your first quote sums up Cameron so perfectly....

No. In order to lose it, he'd need to have had it in the first place.

A friend of mine back in the UK, who is very politically aware, said this not long after Cameron got elected: "From time-to-time the electorate makes choices that you don't politically agree with; that's democracy. But when they elect an incompetent administration ..."
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
