Welcome to the New Order

Where there is no privacy - there can be no crime.

Normal people are put into this position because the vocal whiners and complainers bitching every time someone farts in public -- demanding the government to stop the 'horrors' and 'protect' them -- what do you expect?

When every movement is watched on CCTV, every transaction you make is recorded (Tesco and every credit card company) and cross-referenced now with everything you read, write or say -- I'd pretty much say we are in a police state already.

Is the issue really 'for your protection and safety' (the catch-phrase for anything the government or anyone else wants to screw you with) or is it more a question of the government self-expanding exponentially -- or even a question of who benefits (financially) from all this nonsense?

One wonders how deeply hooked into the government are the companies providing this technology? Billions and billions of pounds can make for some hefty kickbacks. And of course -- with all these programs being 'secret' -- they couldn't go out for an honest open bid -- could they? So who is the no-bid, sole-source vendor for all of this?

If we were in the USA, we'd know that it must be a member of the George W. Bush "Friends and Family" program to receive such lovely contract gifts -- but it seems in the UK, nobody knows who runs the show, let alone who they are funneling the money to -- so nothing can nor will be done.

In the UK, government funds are viewed as a personal slush fund for every pet project that comes along. If I ran my business into the ground, I could go to hell as far as the government is concerned -- but if I were a bank, I'd get all the 'free money' I want to subsidize the business and, as CEO, a few million pounds salary for doing it.

Unfortunately, just like in the USA, there is NO WAY to stop it. The government has too much power for any amount of 'protest' to ever pay mind to.
