yeah i have been watching for a while now since i got back from uni http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698 It always amuses me that leaders of state have these kill switches for the internet/phones that they can basically switch on and off if they have too.
I just think of a big on /off switch under the desk or behind a portrait on the wall!
