    Take GCHQ's crown?

    Are you implying that they can't win it again this year? Because they'd be top of my list pretty much all the time.

      I don't really blame GCHQ they're going to keep asking for more powers and more money, it's for the civilian oversight to make sure they're behaving and are limited in the things they're allowed to do especially against perfectly innocent citizens. That's why you vote Theresa May, the biggest threat to democracy and freedom since Hitler, and parliament for their complicity/bit part.

    GCHQ is a popular choice,

    Really?

    That paper that respects free speech so much that they roll over to have their tummy tickled when so much as threatened with a bullshit libel suit?

    I detect a botnet in the voting process. It's difficult to think of a news site that didn't cover Snowden in exhaustive and mind-numbingly tedious detail. It was one of the biggest stories of the year....

    Reason: turning website code and layout into overburdened convoluted crap.
