Yup, the Pirate party is the way to go in the UK as far as i'm concerned. They are totally against this big business, self interested, fuck you Joe Public attitude that pervades UK politics without the disgusting undertone of outright racism.

Done!

Agreed. Your are not the only person to stop flying. After two appauling customes experiences in teh US and the UK I decided to never fly again for pleasure. Granted this is a difficult thing to follow through in the UK but I am someone who has not flown for 5 years who previously took three or four holiday flights a year. The more extraordinary 'security' measures taken by UK 'autorities' the more people will decide this is the response for them. Makes you wonder if this is part of a conspiracy to stop us flying, because they surely cant be stupid enough to think these measures are a proportionate (or even effective) response to the tiny terrorist threat we face.
