Background: Mark Thomas is comedian/activist with a series on Channel 4 TV here in the UK, who provides great amusement to viewers and studio audience by "taking on" various individuals and organisations whose activities he finds objectionable. Earlier tonight he devoted a large proportion of his program to Menwith Hill, the NSA listening post here in the UK within what is offically described as an RAF facility. Here is a message about this program, containing a link that I suggest you try. Forwarded:

Can someone summerise / provide pointers to a transcript for us poor souls who do not receive channel4?Yes, but I had to wait until after broadcast. Mark Thomas went hot-air ballooning over Menwith Hill, as it seems not to be restricted airspace. Also, if you are low on fuel it is an "emergency landing", so you can land there as you have no control over steering in a hot air balloon. Anyway, he's running hot air balloon rides for the public. For details of how to book a ride, and lots of stuff on "RAF" Menwith Hill itself, see http://www.menwithhill.com/ ========================================================================= Campaign Against Censorship Say NO!
