Villagers stop Google car

i have to say that i think it's fair enough that they protest. Google should not have the right to go around photographing people's property for their own gain. While I'm unconvinced about the threat this poses in terms of crime, burglary presumably, I think it is a total fucking liberty. if the car drove past my house, i would love to be stood in the middle of my garden flipping two birds. I use google every day and it almost constitutes a public service but the presumption that they can photograph everything close-up and publish it should definitely not go unchallenged.

These large companies and corporations hold so much sway it's unbelievable and in my opinion it would be for the best if people had more control of it.

I cannot believe for instance that they're building a Tesco in my village even though absolutely nobody wants it. Tesco eventually had to speak directly to John Prescott, such was the opposition. Needless to say the shithead gave them two thumbs up. They had build a tunnel over the railway that runs through the village to 'reclaim' the land for the unwanted store. this tunnel and infill collapsed onto the mainline railway; seconds later it would have landed on a train (one containing my uncle as it happens). yet they're still going ahead with it, barely modifying the sub-par engineering works. it really disgusts me.
