Is Zippcast going to be worse, the same, or better than YouTube for Freedom of Speech? On the face of it it looks as though it could be going to be worse because their upload regulations are even more authoritarian than YouTube and result in the closure of ALL your channels if you infringe their very general guidelines. If you are critical of another racial group or religion and someone complains it could be more serious than YouTube.

Budget bombshell: Tories mug OAPs and hand tax breaks to the rich

Hit men: Robbers Cameron and Osborne
Cruel George Osborne and David Cameron yesterday robbed the old to fund tax cuts for rich cronies.
They froze OAPs’ personal allowances at £10,500 leaving them £83-a-year worse off while slashing the 50p tax rate.
The myth they are the caring party was yesterday shattered once and for all by Osborne’s vicious assault on the elderly.
As the Chancellor clobbered pensioners with a £3billion “granny tax” to pay for the tax cut gifts to his rich cronies, he stuck the knife in further by announcing a review that could see the retirement age rising to 70 much earlier than planned.
He slapped tax rises on fags, petrol and even takeaway food such as pies and sausage rolls.
But he slashed the top rate of tax from 50p to 45p making 14,000 higher earners on £1million a year or more at least £42,500 better off.
And just as Tory and Lib Dem cronies on Tuesday celebrated the death of the NHS by banging the Cabinet table as the Health Bill was approved, backbenchers yesterday cheered the break for the rich.
From next April, Mr Osborne will freeze the personal allowance on pensioners incomes – the amount at which they have to start paying tax – for those aged 65 and above at £10,500 and £10,660 for over-75s.
Treasury figures show 4.5 million people will be £83 a year worse off. And the 360,00 people who turn 65 next year will lose an average of £285 a year.
Saga branded the tax “outrageous”. Director Dr Ros Altmann said: “This Budget contains an enormous stealth tax for older people.
“Over the next five years, pensioners with an income of between £10,500 and £24,000 will be paying an extra £3billion in tax.
“In short, this Budget is another shocking example of the Government’s attack on poorer and older people. It is dramatically unfair.”
Smug muggers: Cameron and Osborne yesterday

Mr Osborne even resorted to deceit when he claimed the change was brought in to “simplify allowances” and no OAP would lose out “in cash terms”.
He pointed to next month’s “biggest cash increase in the state pension ever” of £5.30 a week.
But Gransnet editor Geraldine Bedell said: “This is the biggest tax rise on pensioners in recent memory. The changes are set to cost over 350,000 pensioners £285 a year.
“People who have worked hard all their lives are now being targeted while at the same time seeing headlines of tax cuts for millionaires.”
Today there has been a number of posts related to earthquakes that are predicted to occur tomorrow or in the proximity of tomorrow.
This post gives a link to a video that takes the phenomenon of the 188 days cycle and shows in a flat world map the location of these major earthquakes and the geometric figures that they form. The video presentation is fascinating and it implies the existence of a planned pattern by an all powerful and controlling creator-designer.
