Reporter Pierce Gardner asked Will Rogers how he would deal with the Nazi U-boats:<p>"Boil the ocean." said Rogers.<p>"But how would you do that?" asked Gardner.<p>Without a beat Rogers replied, "I'm just the idea man here. Get someone else to work out the details."<p>It's easy enough to say that something must be done, and that the details are then up to someone else.

There are a few choice quotes to pick from. My favourite is:<p>"If people come to us and say 'I am really upset, I've been offended, my life has been made a misery and I want somebody to do something about it', then yes the police should, whenever possible, try to help."<p>So, I'm wondering: how much of this is an example of the new intolerance to freedom of speech in the UK and how much is due to newly created 'e-crime' positions trying to justify their existance?
