It's funny for me until it goes to "“Dubs fans, Man U supporters and cyclists will not only be automatically excluded from the process, but will be tracked down, tortured and shot”.
That's where it turns from self-depracating into slagging off in an aggressive manner. O'Leary is a cunt but supposedly he pays his taxes. Perhaps that makes him better than Bono :P

Living in I remember once walking past an old building and noting that it had been boarded up that morning. Next day on my way past a bunch of men in suits and hi-vis were stood around pointing at stuff and murmuring "heee, sooo da ne, hai hai, wakatta". Three days later it had been reduced to rubble. Another week later it was a brand new convenience store, open for trading.

So those problems at Fukushima Daiichi must be quite serious then?
Just to underline my facetiousness the new shield at Chernobyl is making the news for being rolled in to place thirty years later. The likelihood of any ex-Soviet state coping with a major event today must be slight and then the US is struggling to cope with pretty fundamental infrastructure problems even before a crisis.

I think like most other countries in the world, radiation isn't something they were set up to deal with. When it happened, neither the Japanese government nor any of the embassies could deliver useful or consistent information about the radiation threat for days. The British government, (unsurprisingly) took a week to come to the conclusion that it was pretty safe but you could come get some iodine tablets to feel better if you wanted.
It is also a lot slower to fix - not just the enduring dangers but also the constant decontaminating processes. Someone I spoke to who went to work up in Fukushima at the start of the work there said they actually only got an hour or so a day doing actual constructive work.
All the stuff they could fix quickly they did, primarily as a morale boost and point of national pride. Tokyo went through a lengthened period of what felt like mourning, mainly due to the fact that because there was worry about power supply, the neon lights all were off for some time after.

So yeah the government is going to force ISPs to keep our history and can legally break into our machines. There will be "oversights" but we know how that goes.

Chris Christie sent Charles Kushner, father of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, to jail ten years ago and now it's revenge time. They all sound like a nice bunch...
"During the case, Charles admitted to smearing his brother-in-law, who had cooperated with prosecutors, by hiring a prostitute to have sex with him in a motel room, then sending a secretly recorded video of the encounter to the man's wife, Charles Kushner's own sister".

Not only was he a crook, he bought his son's admission to Harvard.

In an interview with The Real Deal after his release, Kushner said that going to jail was the greatest obstacle he faced in life. However, it was also an opportunity for him to learn about himself.
“It gave me an opportunity to learn a lot about myself,” Kushner told The Real Deal. “I learned a lot about other people. I learned a lot about different areas I’ve always had an interest to learn about, whether it be Jewish history or derivative financing.I didn’t waste my time in jail. I was able to read the Wall Street Journal cover to cover every day.”
Kushner also called the incident with his sister “a family tragedy” and he believed that God and his parents will forgive him in heaven. He did say that he didn’t think his parents would forgive his sister though for “instigating a criminal investigation and being cheerleaders for the government and putting their brother in jail because of jealousy, hatred and spite.”
