leave it to an irishman to utter a truth when no one else feels like it.

I'm sure he's drunk. What's a slur for an Irish person?

That fucking mick is probably drunk.

I'm really sorry. That was inappropriate and I didn't mean it.

Yeah not regulation of the internet exactly, but definite regulation of the corporations that run the internet. net-neutrality is good.

Hague rejected the idea of any government policing of the web, saying: “Nothing would be more fatal or self-defeating than the heavy hand of State control on the internet’.

    Quote

Hague said that an international agreement about behaviour in cyberspace should be pursued ‘with the same intensity as efforts to eradicate global poverty or tackle climate change’.

Am I missing something, or aren't these contradictory statements?

William Hague isn't Irish?

Could be, its not clear. For me "regulation" and "agreement" dont mean the same thing. But in politics they probably do.

Please don't call me that.
