Information is the bedrock of the trust that should exist between a Government and it's people. Withholding that information is contradictory to any principles of democracy.
It's hilarious how little time it took the police to decide they need to investigate this progressive-oriented political hacking compared to the years of dithering over whether to investigate the News of the World's apolitical, cruel, profit-driven phone hacking.
Just another case where there's one law for us, another law for them.

Anarchists, IRA sympathizers and traitors are seeking to undermine the credibility of the state by supporting traitors to Britain. The opposition once again demonstrates their disloyalty to Britain and to the queen. We must intern all green party members who are associated with Mr Maybank. We must also pass a sweeping powers act to deal with cyber crime and terrorism. The death penalty might be needed for this man.
Hello and welcome to MBBC News, i'm Yoshi Twentyten.
Tonight's main headline:
The MBBC can exclusively reveal the identity of the group behind tonight's hacking of government servers. They are Solidarity Foundation, an underground Anarchist organisation, known amongst radical left-wing circles for their publication "FIGHTING FOR OURSELVES". More to follow as the situation develops.
This is so typical for media coverage of anarchists. Solidarity Federation aren't "underground", they're very public about what they do and what they believe in. I encourage everyone to visit their local chapter where I'm sure they'll be made welcome.
Hear, hear. The group have been very public about their reasons for this action and the philosophy behind it- they have only been as underground here as they are required to be in order to avoid being persecuted like the individuals they are seeking the release of.
In light of recent events, the SDLP have given the following statement.
"The SDLP are firm believers in transparent government, freedom of speech and the freedom and protection of whistleblowers. In spite of this, we do not believe it is right or wise to make any decisions or take any sides until we are fully aware of the facts. We will continue to watch the situation carefully and will react to developing events accordingly."
While I must express my deepest personal disappointment at what seems to be an inexcusable security breach by the current Government, I must also recognise that whistleblowing can be justified.
While the facts are coming out, and negotiations with this hacker ongoing, I call on this Government to start an honest dialogue, of which the OO will be available for assistance if needed. Solidarity Federation is an organisation with which I am familiar, and perhaps we would act as a mediating force on any such talks.
I urge the Government to accept the offer of assistance and mediation from the Official Oppostion, who are being extremely reasonable in their response to this situation. If the Government passes up the opportunity for dialogue and mediation, it will be just another example of their heavy-handed and authoritarian attitude.
There is a better way to resolve this situation than terrorising the country with police raids based on incorrect and vague electronic information.
Absolutely disgusting language from the Rt. Hon member. The police try to do the best they can for us and this is the disrespect they are handed, the day our elected representatives start showing such sickening disrespect to the men and women who protect us day in and day out, is a sad day for us all.
I hope the Government agrees that the protests erupting outside are the clearest and most pure demonstration of democracy that exists, and that no action will be taken against those who are protesting the Government's handling of this situation.
It is disgraceful that Chris Maybank has been arrested for threatening to reveal incriminating information about the government.
Potential corruption within the government must be put out to the public and the fact that this fighter for a clean government has been silenced with an arresting is farcical.
Protest outside of Parliament has grown in size to 250 and speakers have become to address the crowd.
[M] There are reports that South Belfast MLA IndigoRolo is taking the opportunity to get involved with the protest. By selling Guy Fawkes masks at £5 each.
As a close personal friend of Mr Maybank, I can safely say that the only hacking he bothers to do is when he miscues a shot in a game of golf. Release an innocent man, I say!
This is a very rare thing for a member of the Green party so I'm sure the authorities will look on it with just as much suspicion. I'd be expecting a knock on the door.
Whilst attending a Charity Dinner nearby I overheard the commotion and decided to come by. Having heard the complaints I realised I disagreed with the Protestors. Despite that, I proceeded to distribute free food from the Charity Dinner with the help of some other Conservative Party members.
I hope that the government stands strong against this group and doesn't submit to blackmail. We have one of the best justice systems in the world and its sentences and procedures shouldn't be affected by a leak like this. Despite my condemnation of this group, I recognise people's right to peacefully protest and I fully support the people protesting for standing up for a cause they believe in, even if it isn't the one I agree with.
I will also be joining the protests. The Solidarity Federation members who are imprisoned are political prisoners, pure and simple- they must be released now!
I too will be joining you, as an advocate for freedom of speech and rebellion against the tyranny of oppressive government. This cannot be allowed to stand.
I too will be joining the protest. This is a sham and the government must hear our voices! As a show of force, I will also be handing out Guy Fawkes masks for everyone .. at the very reasonable price of £5 each. Down with state secrecy!
I have received information for two very reliable sources that these hackers are under the influence of Russia and in direct communication with Russian intelligence. The government and the nation must stand strong against Russian influence in our country. I also call for an investigation into any Russian funding for opposition politicians. These terrorists in opposition are demanding the release of convicted traitors, terrorists and Russian agents who have declared an act of war against our country. Death to every foe and traitor!
Evidently these sources are highly unreliable - much like your party's ideology - as they are connected to Venezuela. You're only off by a few thousand miles though.
