A library I was in once wouldn't let me look at the Anarchist Book Fair site saying 'violent content'.

Cashew nut


Inconsistent and illogical

LIbraries don't publicise that they put blocks on the internet on their computer systems. I once tried to access Banksy's website (the graffitti artist) in the library and found it blocked, but I was able to access every other web article ever written about him, including one with the F word in the title! I did a little experimenting and found I could get into the BNP website, but not Blood and Honour (I was only experimenting!), I could get into most of the anti-fascist websites, some of which advocate violence, and I got into a past issue of SCHNEWS which, in a review, quoted a passage from a book which explained the best way to make a petrol bomb!
I decided not to draw the staff's attention to this stupid inconsistency though, in case they put even stricter censorship on their computer system.
