| Re: You may not be paranoid
Yesterday, I just dismissed this a alarmist, but there is much more today about it in the Saturday newspapers. Apparently, 1000 applications for covert surveillance were made in the last year. This was an anti-terror law, and potentially your phone calls can be tapped and emails intercepted, yet the majority of these applications are for school place applications, dog fowling, litter louts and other minor misdemeanors.
Maybe this should be for another thread, and I have talked about it before here, but when you put it together with the fact that the UK also has more cctv cameras than anywhere else in the world, it does appear that we are sleepwalking into a totalitarian Big Brother state. |
