I am the scientific press for the layman, thinking Steady State theory is boring, prefering a spectacular Big Bang theory.

Grimbal... I thought this might slide quetly into the night. 
I am a layman, not even reading scientific press deliberately tailored for me, wearing a cap back to front.

Anyway, I am school, educating people, forbidding caps in class, especially worn back to front.

I am the Labour Government, promising "education, education, education" but providing "assessment, assessment, assessment", drowning teachers in paperwork.
OK, maybe a touch UK specific, and more than a touch political...

I am Tony Blair; leading the Labour government into a crisis of doubtful warmongering, causing a rise in Tory popularity and the ousting of the Labour party from power.

I am an American Revolutionary, despising turncoat Tories, driving despotic rulers out.

Not that U.K. specific. I have a friend who is a middle school (grades 6- principle, and he complains constantly that his teachers no longer have time to do anything but prepare the kids for the next assessment test.

I am a short rope and a long drop; typical method of handling revolutionaries, resulting in cessation of individual revolutionary activities.

I am depression, dulling sensations, making life seem futile
(Almost certainly a repeat, but less certain than other things I came up with...)

I am inversion, reversing things, turning depression into elevation.
(there's been "the Great Depression" before, but not straight depression. Death has occured before)

I am an experienced gamer, completing Carmageddon with ease, moving on to more challenging games.
I still remember playing Carmageddon briefly on a friend's Mac running a PC emulator - effective specs such that it ws rather jerky when running at minimum detail levels...

I am the repeat, almost unavoidable, but forbidding the use of Death.
PS, Great movie. I really have to get the DVD.

And why should William reward the one who bumped him off the top five?  (Of course, I am the one who bumped him from #1, so apparently he is very forgiving.)
I am a pernicious security problem, locking moderator out, forcing him to visit as a guest.
